Review: Sagard Gamebooks

Sagard the Barbarian
Gary Gygax worked with Flint Dille to create four Sagard the Barbarian Gamebooks (which were similar to Choose Your Own Adventure, but with the reader keeping track of hit points and equipment during the story).


I enjoyed reading the books; their very existence created controversy for D&D Greyhawk fans because they seemed to be set on Oerth (though it's an alternate version, maybe Yarth?). I found it funny that the cover for book #1 (above) featured an ice monster on the cover even though the actual ice creature in the book turned out to be lost technology left behind on the world long ago.
