Join me as I try my second playthrough of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Adventure Gamebook No. 16, Shadow Over Nordmaar. This is a Dragonlance Adventure written by Dezra Despain in the style of a ‘Chose your own adventure’, story with AD&D game mechanics added. There are 26 possible endings with two different stories!
