Between 1982 and 1987, TSR released 36 Endless Quest gamebooks. Most of these books were set in the Dungeons and Dragons game world, though several were based on other TSR products. The books were the most basic type of gamebook; the reader made decisions but didn't have to keep track of any rules.

Thus was born the Endless Quest books, one of my favorite series to read as a kid. Fantasy writer Rose Estes got the nod to kick it all off. Rose Estes (I don't know what Rose Estes looks like, but a Google image search brings this up as one of the first pics, so I have to assume it's her.) She began by modeling this first book, Dungeon of Dread to be as much like D&D as was practical. It certainly does feel like the start to a new D&D campaign. You begin with a novice, ill-equipped adventurer and dive right into a dungeon/cave/catacomb/etc. In this book you play the role of an average joe human warrior.
Before your first choice pops up, you are paired off with a halfling thief. A typical D&D party of adventurers would also include a wizard and priest. But hey, you can't always get what you want.
Now, I've read enough of these CYOA books to be aware of their quality. Meaning, I didn't expect this to be award-winning literature. However, this is poor-to-average writing at best: 'Well, halfling, can you give me one reason why I shouldn't feed you to the crows?' 'Oh please don't do that,' whines the halfling, 'I'm just a poor hungry halfling named Laurus.' Shakespeare it ain't. And honestly, thank god, because I did not come here for the prose.
I came for adventure! So let's get this party started! (This is when 'Turn Down For What' would kick in and I would get totally skanky on the dance floor.ugh, I've been to too many weddings.) Adventure #1 I fought kobolds, a bugbear and ants (hey, they were pretty big ants). These are prototypical, entry level D&D campaign sword fodder. Not terribly exciting, but it's cool that they stayed so true to the game, considering how many other Endless Quest books would go right off the rails in this regard.
So anyway, this one ended with me being abandoned by the halfling and violently beat to death by an enraged minotaur. I saved that good for nothing halfling from some pretty terrifying ants and this is how he repays me? Okay buddy, I see how it is. Adventure #2 I followed the same path, but this time I didn't foolishly attack the minotaur. I then ran into a manic depressive, alcoholic baboon who commits suicide by throwing himself upon my sword. Heavy stuff, man. I encountered that watery snake thing seen on the book's cover in a fairly cool action scene.
(I should also mention, nice illustrations through out the book by Larry Elmore and Jim Holloway!) I crushed a hill giant, which was rad. Then I fought the main baddie, an evil wizard, and I won his treasure!
