Watching #lcfc this season has been all about being impressed with how other teams/managers set up their side and run the game. We are headless and directionless, so not at all as interesting.

Jackson & Livingstone pioneered #gamebooks with series like #Sorcery, #FabledLands kicked off the #openworld #gamebook genre, and that in turn inspired the digital adaptation of Sorcery. And now @steampowered.com has both series in a special-offer bundle.
