Quill&Queer (quillandqueer) I think this may have been part of a big collection of choose your path books in the 70s or 80s. I read it second hand in the late 90s. Unfortunately I don't remember two of the three other than they were sci-fi and the third was fantasy but I do remember something about the fantasy... I remember getting into a boat in cave. And something about gems maybe? If someone can direct me to a series of Choose Your Path books I'll start digging!

Quill&Queer (quillandqueer) I should clarify, as it's under the One Specific Book thread that I'm just after that fantasy book that I read, out of the three.

Appreciate the help but admittedly when I asked for choose your path books I didn't exactly mean that I wanted to dig through Every Game Book Ever Created lol

Quill&Queer (quillandqueer) However I'm desperate so I'l give it a good go.

Lou Rocama | 457 comments The Endless Quest: The Collector's Set, #2
The Endless Quest Collectors Set #3
Both of these have two sf and two fantasy books. Do any of these sound familiar?

Revolt Of The Dwarves
Revenge of the Rainbow Dragons (I think there was a special gem in this one)
Circus Of Fear
Spell Of The Winter Wizard

I had a look through those when I went through the list Justanotherbibliophile suggested but nothing ran a bell.

Maybe one of the Fighting Fantasy books? They included SF as well as Fantasy. But these involved rolling dice as well as making choices. Do you recall anything like that?

There was definitely no dice rolling I'm sorry :(
