What should I read?

I have read all 3 of Nuklear-Slug's DiDs, and I enjoyed them Could anyone point me to some similar DiDs that I might enjoy? I like lots of combat, and some humor, but I am not a fan of reading about characters histories, I would rather read about gameplay. Thanks in advance.

It's up to you what you read. I would personally read them all, but that's my preference.

You may want to look here though. If you hav'nt already.

Yeah, I already had a look, and was somewhat overwhelmed. I wonder if someone could point me to some of the best?

I'm somewhat biased I guess, but Scion Drakhars "A Pirates Story" is a pretty damned good gameplay based DiD. So is "From Nothing" ... although after about chapter 20 or so it become far more a work of prose than just gameplay.

Mine are basically what's happening narratives with a bit of story and some humor tossed in. The humor is generally* considered hilarious though.

*As noted by my one reader.

Pfft, you have at least 2 regulars Triaxx

And I usually laugh myself sick at your material

I've written plenty, most linked in the sticky, many aren't though, and are lost for ever. And some I never even posted!
