Some quests even required multiple books. Many of these were one-time only, or could only be taken by a certain profession. There were many, many quests available to be undertaken. Each of the books represented a specific area in the world, and players could choose a profession, and literally travel from book to book. It's a great shame that only half of the planned 12 books were ever released, because Fabled Lands were the largest and most expansive gamebook series ever. In early 2018 the long-awaited seventh book finally appeared, funded by a Kickstarter campaign and published by Megara Entertainment. The first book was also further re-issued in a deluxe hardcover edition by Megara Entertainment with full-colour artwork. Fortunately, starting in 2010, the original six books were reissued. For many years, the situation was even worse in the United States, where only two books were published under the Quest label. The unfortunate thing about this series, though, is that it was never completed after six volumes, it went out of print, so the entire world is inaccessible to readers. Codewords are used in each book to keep track of which areas have already been visited and which major events have already occurred, and there are sometimes places in the text where players may leave behind items to be retrieved later. There are also Stamina points to represent health and a limited inventory for storing items. Players have six attributes (Charisma, Combat, Magic, Sanctity, Scouting and Thievery) whose initial scores are determined by character profession. Probably the most intricately designed gamebooks ever published, the Fabled Lands books are all interconnected each book represents a different segment of a larger world, and it is possible to hop from book to book in a non-linear fashion, completing quests and gaining in experience.
