Maybe we just picked all the boring decisions and if we opened the door with the screwdriver something crazy would have happened

See? You should’ve followed my lead :wink:

Materialising in the hold seems more Doctor Whoey - in fact it should probably be a trope :wink: .

Decide Your Destiny: The Spaceship Graveyard - Page 80

Your last choice: You found yourself in the ship hold

The Doctor identifies the space freighter’s hold as from the 24th century, while Martha points out a label indicating its origin and destination. Despite the Doctor’s uncertainty, they decide to explore further.

What type of room is the next thing you find?

  • Corridor
  • Captains Cabin

I know that there is a whole trope about the Doctor running through corridors but I just want something to happen and it feels more likely that we get to the action in the captain’s cabin.

It’s Doctor Who, we’ll probably run into the Captain’s Cabin, see the captain’s corpse, and advance the plot.

The corridor will just be a corridor.

I think assuming this thing will have ‘plot’ is a little strong :rofl:

Okay, this is getting ridiculous now. Are we just going to pick random rooms from now on? When are we going to get into proper danger and run a risk of dying?

But hey! I have lines now! Lines are cool!

Anyway, if we are in the hold, the most logical room next to it is a corridor. Would the captain’s cabin sit next to the hold?

I understand why captain’s cabin is higher, but come on, it’s got to be a corridor

I simply think it’s funny if the hold leads directly into the captains cabin

Maybe it isn’t a very big ship. Maybe it’s like the Mini Metro of Spaceships.

You know, I’ve got all these books, and I’ve done each of them a bunch of times, and yeah I kind of remember that a lot of times it’s not “what do you decide to do?” so much as “what happens to you?”.

What I’d really forgotten, and which comes into stark relief when reading just one page a day, is how often you flip to the next scene, nothing of note happens, and then you just make another random choice.

Still, I feel confident that within the next week, we’ll actually meet someone.

Oh, and @MrColdStream - don’t hold your breath for the whole dying thing. From what I remember these books are way less lethal than the old Choose Your Own Adventure books. Success or failure, sure, but not so much with the death. IIRC.

We should go for Night of the Kraken or Terror Moon if we do another read-along. I remember those two to be more engaging.

But I don’t own those two and I’d have to go and buy them…

Anyway, I want to do Crisis in Space next :slight_smile: .

I wonder if a different time frame could be worked out where we could do 2 pages a day, so it’s not so incredibly slow. Or would that leave too many people behind?

Why would the captain’s cabin lead directly into the hold?

I have been thinking about that too but I don’t see a good solution for it. Do you have any?
