>>44688803
hell yeah, we've got:
>Diary of a Mad Mummy
>Welcome to the Wicked Wax Museum
>The Twisted Tale of Tiki Island
well this is different; why not
>>44688917
We can't have a CYOA thread without choosing a book first everyone
>>44688917
>Welcome to the Wicked Wax Museum
That one :D
>>44689056
Seconding

>>44689088
hope you guys are ready for some wax adventure
>>44689128
Welcome to the Wicked Wax Museum begins right now
>>44689146
First choice in the next post, prepare everyone!
>>44689173
Are we bad enough dudes to help Jake?
>>44689187
We haven't seen any adults who'd help us, but let's go look anyway and see how that gets us killed.
>What's going on here?
>>44689301
Do we trust strangers or not?
>>44689329
We better not.
>>44689329
This is such an obvious trap our end would probably not be very entertaining if we fell for it.
>>44689398
With author looking this creepy you know you have to take candies from strangers and get in the white vans to proceed with the story.
>FIRST BAD END
Are we up for another book?
>Diary of a Mad Mummy
>The Twisted Tale of Tiki Island
>>44689462
>>The Twisted Tale of Tiki Island
Twisted Tale of Tiki Island seems pretty spooky
>>44689462
>You didn't do the dangerous thing? Fuck you, BAD END
Good old Give Yourself Goosebumps. If we can't try this again, Diary of a Mad Mummy sounds good.
>>44689492
There we go. Is everyone comfortable with the size of the font?

>>44689520
There's the problem with identical files and starting at the latest choice feels too save-scummy

FIRST CHOICE ALERT
FIRST CHOICE ALERT
Swim for the cave. I'm not confident in our strength
>>44689620
Skin status
>feels as if it's on fire
>>44689631
Right now I'm choosing the first answer, gonna change it to majority once we get more people
>>44689659
wow, that's a lot of choices you give us R.L. Stine
>>44689687
someone roll a dice thing because I forgot how to do that, Heads count as 1, Tails count as 2.
Rolled 2 (1d2)
>>44689722
>>44689727
ruh roh, more choices
>>44689751
Talk to the doctor.
>>44689778
oh boy
Yay! New quest thread!
>>44689813
Do we accept the money?
>>44689857
lol no
>>44689879
oy vey, happy merchant you
>>44689926
So, what do we do now?
>>44689955
I have brown eyes anon, let's avoid it.
>>44689955
My eyes are brown so I would avoid looking it in the eye.
>>44690012
>>44690010
You got the
>I'm not so sure how I feel about it
ending. How do you feel about it?
>>44690068
What the hell is a Tiki king?
>>44690068
what else you got there OP? You have the one that took place in the comic shop?
oh just look at first post again, I guess mad mummy it is. Where did you get these btw?
>>44690086
silly anon, it's the king of Tiki island. It reminds me of a comedy slasher flick I watched a few years back set on a tropical island. Damn, I'd rewatch it if I only remembered its name.
>>44690121
I've got Diary of a Mad Mummy left. I will be buying more books for the next thread as I'm a big fan of classic goosebumps
>>44690068
These books are pretty bullshit if they punish you for having basic common sense or lock you into certain routes based on things that the reader cannot control.
>>44690193
I've never read a single Goosebumps book however. Are the characters frequently too dumb to live in the books?
>>44690193
yeah, I remember one of the choices being if you're left or righthanded or if it was a specific day of a week, or sometimes even the color of what you're wearing
>>44690227
nope, the game just punishes you for playing smart by giving you a lackluster ending. Heck we misses like 2 potential huge adventures in the first book because we played too smart.
>>44689146
Fuck off jake that wasn't funny or clever.Also am I the only one who had funny, engaging, and just all around great history teachers? like I'm was in stitches for most of my history class and I never had a dull one. Where the fuck does this stereotype come from?
>>44690175
I used to import used books from ebay until I discovered I can buy them as ebooks on amazon. It's not the same without the smell of an old book but much cheaper and faster
>ARE WE BAD ENOUGH DUDES TO BEGIN?
>>44690275
know what you mean, I only exclusively buy the old versions too mainly because of consistency, and I just can't stand how cartoony the new cover arts are. Even got a few of the Series 2000 back home
>>44690275
Sure. However, in this case allow us to have a choice about what to do in place of the bullshit railroading that the books have.
>>44690275
oh yeah, a picture would help
>>44690227
the characters themselves weren't that stupid. Goosebumps is just the kind of book with stupid "twist" endings. I recommend http://www.bloggerbeware.com/ to catch up with classic books.
>>44690271
My history teacher was pretty great too
>>44690323
Bullshit railroading is a part of the charm those books have and it's something that differs this thread from quest threads
>>44690353
as always, we begin with few pages of intro
>>44690379
intro in this one is pretty long though
>>44690227
In a word: Yes. Horror books for children are not really based in logic.
>>44690413
FIRST CHOICE ALERT
FIRST CHOICE ALERT
>>44690441
Zoom to top.
>>44690441
if there's one thing I learned, this books reward stupidity. Let's come back tonight!
>>44690441
Take the elevator. Coming back at night when I (not the character) knows there will be a killer mummy on the loose is a bad idea.
>>44690478
On second thought, this anon has a point. Let's be stupid.
>>44690470
>>44690478
this one is tricky if I remember it right
>>44690495
>>44690478
>>44690470
well damn, I took the wrong answer, but let's roll with the other choice - sorry for that
>>44690534
Further down cause why not
>>44690534
IIRC we swap bodies with mummy right?
>>44690534
Take the tunnel. I get the feeling that going deeper would be like going into the bowels of the beast.
>>44690577
>
>>44690579yeah
>>44690665
so many choices here
>>44690684
I don't want the American to have it. I feel like it fits most with my character to run away, but I don't even have the courage to do that.
>>44690684
no, don't listen to that sand nigger, show it to the whitey
(if you want a more fair way of selecting choices, you can always choose who has the higher number in the end of their post id)
>>44690751
Good idea anon.
>>44690717
not sure how to treat this answer
>>44690684
run
>>44690777
going with trips
>>44690819
it's obviously birds anon
>>44690819>>44690819
It's Shrek, but for our purposes he's smiling.
>>44690856
>>44690846
third answer will decide
>>44690819
pg 58
Smiling wasn't invented until 1349 AD.
>>44690819
Looks like a smiley face for some reason upon first look. But looking at it tells me it's both so that allows me to use both answers so I'll say a bunch of birds sitting around a campfire since it's unlikely that the ancient egyptians had smiley faces.

what could it be
>>44690903
CHOICE TIME
>>44690922
Illonois Smith is an actor dumbass. Figure it out yourself.
>>44690922
yeah sure, let's ask this guy who looks like he knows archeology but actually doesn't for help. Gotta love kid logic (If you're wondering, I pick the first choice)
>>44690959
>>44690951
third choice again
>>44690959
Let the actor do it.
>>44691003
>>44690959
bad end
Soo, did you enjoy our little CYOA thread?
>>44691025
Yeah. G'night anons
Tips nightcap
>>44691025
...... well uh I honestly didn't knew what I was expecting, can we retcon and pretend that our kid here wasn't an idiot and figured it out by himself?
>>44691025
A little. Let's try a run through the books again.
>>44691045
no save scumming
>>44691050
changing each image to stop the bullshit identical file error is too much but I had just enough on my amazon gift card to buy one last book.
ARE YOU READY?

Stupidity is the only option. Evil Knight.

>>44691247
let's get the good knight cause the last stupid choice we picked kinda backfired on us

we fantasy england now

R.L Stine pulled quickly on us. We didn't stand a chance.
Rolled 2 (1d2)
>>44691322
Their identical and there is no way of telling which way is the correct direction. 1 for a left. 2 for a right.

what could it be?

it could be
>THE END
thanks everyone for participating! See you next time for more goosebumps madness
>>44691702
Thanks anon, much appreciated.
>>44691702
Does this imply that it all wasn't a dream or that the evil nights goal has shifted from murder to trolling. Come to think of it, trolling might be worse because instead of just killing the character it would eventually drive him to suicide.
>>44689818
"Quest thread" implies being shit. I think one written by R.L. Stine himself gets a pass.
>>44692636
>"Quest thread" implies being shit
Your opinion implies that you're shit.
>>44692889
Wew lad, sorry I made you so upset
