Another post to fill in the gap with these 1 on 1 books by James M. Ward, this is the third in the series, we skipped the second which was a science fiction one, and in this volume we return to a more familiar Fantasy setting.

By this point these fantasy settings, although clearly inspired by D&D still didn’t have that label, but they would soon, as we will see in the next volume in the series. Again this is a two-player game, with each player taking on a character, here one is a Knight and the other a Red Dragon.

I haven’t read any of these, so I’m going by the descriptions in the invaluable Demian’s Gamebook Web Page at gamebooks.org, which lists these and many others. It seems like a fun time even if it is a little unbalanced with the Dragon being a lot more powerful than the single knight.
