Our first space outing for the 100 Endings Book Club with the Altimer for October.
The Altimer
The read for the 100 Endings Book Club is the Altimer by Samuel Isaacson, heading a team of astronauts going into space to investigate intelligent extra-terrestrial life. Join us on the 100 Endings & Rand Roll Discord if you've got any questions or want to join in.
The Altimer by Samuel Isaacson is a science fiction gamebook with 300 passages, published in 2019. It's the first of the Entram Epic trilogy, followed by New Gaia and Solar War. It's the first gamebook written by the author.
You're a new recruit to be trained as an astronaut at the Global Interstellar Group. Later in the book you'll head into space as part of a team investigating an alien threat. It has a stats and rules for rolling against these. There are rules for combat and you'll pick up codewords and equipment as you progress through the adventure.
Ways to Play the Altimer
The Altimer is available in paperback and kindle formats, and as it was published fairly recently (2019), is relatively easy to get hold of first or secondhand.
If you've already played the Altimer or don't like science fiction, a possible title by the same author is the Bradfell Conspiracy, solving a murder in a city as a brave knight...
