Adventure Book Theatre: Bonus Chapter - The Magic of the Unicorn

It’s wild that the only time they ignore page 69 is the time they would’ve beat an adventure book without dying Classic book buds stuff right there

I found a free pfd of this book and it's WILD, there is one ending where you straight up die

I read this book as a kid! Yeah it’s CRAZY

I’d love to see The Lore Lords watch Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, Netflix’s first “choose your own adventure” episode.

Saffron Evans Butterfinger BBs are so good too.

I bought into patreon for this ep. Strangled and starved for NADDPOD adventure books content to the very peak. Also today I learned that Butterfinger BBs were a real thing

I love how these are great episodes for Murph to not do a bunch of prep and editing, but instead all the time and energy he saves on is spent on trying to keep the crew from getting “lost in the lore” hahah

Not sure this guest has a grasp on what 8-bit bookclub is all about. He doesn't seem to fit with the culture.

Absolutely unhinged book, truly disturbed. 10/10.

This is so far the trippiest CYOA book I've experienced on this podcast. How can it be so crazy even without the cast making jokes inventing drama.

The other stories were so bad they were good whereas this one was just awesome as it was- lowkey wanna read the book myself now

"I can enjoy something without making a joke..." Caldwell sweats nervously

i didn’t enjoy this story at all. where even was jessica?!

This was incredible, would love to see you guys go through more books by this author

It's not a wink wink, it's a squint squint! Had me ROLLING

The end justified the means. No birds were killed to save EVERYONE!

The OG Choose Your Own Adventure books are brutal. A large percentage of choices end in death or bodily harm. One book I had as a kid ended in the main character getting kidnapped and tossed in the back of a van never to be seen again. I decided after that to not read those books anymore.

I love the immediate sadness in this episode.

This is the greatest Choose Your Own Adventure of all time. What a ln absolute metal ending!

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this episode and still belly laugh at the shock and horror of this awesome madness

Hi, I'm actually Flemish! We indeed have amazing cheese, but there are some issues with the story: a belfry is not connected to a church, by definition We don't have hummingbirds in Europe Back in the day, we did have unicorns, so that checks out Also, fuck birds

THE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR OF TEARS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN I IMAGINED. The protagonist does appear to be wasting away, and is illustrative of the desperate and horrifying circumstances that so strongly defy Caldwell's frivolous whimsy.

The unicorn death was JARRING

This is so awesome. And you gotta see if there is a "save the unicorn without making birds cry" ending.

If you listen to this on Spotify there’s an auto-generated link in the credits for Jork Hurwitz, if anyone was interested in his other works

This was fucking insane and I want more of it.

Omg those pictures are wyld

Pour one out for the unicorn <3

I love how the specter of Metal City haunts every single passive option in an adventure book.

"Cry for the unicorn and cry for yourselves!"

When doves cry

Is this the only podcast where one host has to scream “shut up!” at the other three hosts? And that’s good and funny and you love to hear it?

I don't know what it was about this one but I really pictured you all in sleeping bags in some generic 90s living room getting too into this book during a sleepover between fistfuls of cheese puffs and popcorn.

I loved seeing the illustrations they’re so beautiful c:

drunk out of my mind listening to this love you guys can’t want for this yayy can’t want to see the huincorn and the love aterfl of tears ;m(?)

The best one you have ever done absolutely do more! “Cry for the unicorn and cry for yourselves” is unironically one of the hardest things I have ever heard

Loved this one. Ya’ll should do the other adventure books by this author!!

So cool to meet special guest jorb bratwurst, what's he from? You guys missed the "the small camp outside of the village were outcasts live in gloomy isolation" run. I'm sure that one has a much more uplifting ending

This was really good! The pedigree.

The last ten minutes of this had me sore from laughter. Truly the most trippy ending!

Holy shit can’t wait to listen to this, also one of my favs

This was also one of my favorites as a kid. I was impressed by the huge variety of endings. My favorite was the "You become a unicorn yourself" ending.

This one was one of my favorites as a kid! I love you guys. Can’t wait for Tuesday night.

This Jake has a decent radio voice, why is he so opposed to trying out podcasting someday?
