The Narrative Choice or Paragraph Games mechanic puts a strong emphasis on storytelling and player agency through making decisions that directly influence the narrative's progression. Instead of relying solely on traditional game mechanics like dice rolling or resource management to drive the plot, these games present players with textual descriptions, scenarios, and choices that lead to different outcomes and further narrative branches. Think of it like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book integrated into a board game experience. Players often read paragraphs of text that describe a situation, and then they are presented with a set of choices. Each choice directs them to a different paragraph or section, unfolding the story in a unique way based on their decisions. Here's how the mechanic typically works: Narrative Presentation: The game presents story elements through text, often in the form of cards, books, or even app-based interfaces. These descriptions set the scene, introduce characters, and present challenges. Choice Points: At key moments in the narrative, players are given distinct options on how to proceed. These choices can range from dialogue options and actions to strategic decisions that have narrative consequences. Branching Narrative: Each choice leads to a different part of the story. This might involve reading a specific paragraph number, drawing a particular card, or triggering a new event within the app. The narrative unfolds non-linearly based on the collective decisions of the players. Consequences: The choices players make often have consequences that affect the ongoing narrative. This could involve changes in character relationships, the availability of future options, the acquisition of items, or even the overall outcome of the game. Emergent Storytelling: While the core narrative is pre-written, the combination of player choices leads to a unique emergent story for each playthrough. Different groups of players, or even the same group playing again, will likely experience the narrative in a different sequence and with different outcomes.

In this week's episode, the crew dove into the wildest debate lighting up the internet: *100 average men vs. one fully grown gorilla*. From breaking down the physical odds to arguing whether strategy or environment could shift the outcome, the conversation swung between hilarious and heated. The guys also discussed the kind of "average men" being imagined—whether beer-bellied uncles or part-time gym rats could even make a dent—and what animal 100 men *could* realistically take down. Then in the second half, things got real with a topic titled **"What Men Shouldn't Ask."** Sparked by a listener's email and Riskay's infamous “What are we?” advice, the crew unpacked why certain questions—from asking about money to emotional check-ins with the homies—can backfire hard when they come from a man. They even tackled the taboo of bringing up threesomes, time-of-the-month questions, and unrealistic barber requests. And to top it all off, they wrapped up the final, action-packed chapter of their *Choose Your Own Adventure* saga in the *Invincible*-inspired universe, where one member may not have made it out alive.

In this episode, the fellas kick things off with a breakdown of “Liberation Day” (aka April 2nd), when the U.S. market took a dive, hitting 401(k)s hard—especially painful for those near retirement or living on fixed incomes. They dive into why voters keep trusting Trump with the economy despite his sketchy business history, chaotic trade moves, and policies that often favor the rich. From tax cuts to trade wars to the illusion of economic strength, they ask: is it real faith or just vibes? Then things get personal as they explore why peaceful moments with your partner sometimes get ruined by random drama, TV triggers, or unresolved beefs. Is it a woman thing? Is it intentional? And how should a man respond when the vibe gets hijacked? Later, they reminisce on the dumbest lies they believed as kids—like watermelon seeds growing in your stomach and the fear of car lights getting you arrested. Finally, they rant about new online businesses overcharging for mid products with no name recognition, wondering if it's confidence, clout-chasing, or just straight-up delusion. And to wrap it up, part 2 of their latest “Choose Your Own Adventure” brings more laughs and wild scenarios that force you to pick between equally ridiculous outcomes.

The boys embark on a classic choose your own adventure campaign where they explore an abandoned spaceship of mysterious and deadly origin. Will they make it out alive? Listen and find out.

When I was younger, I was obsessed with those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books! In it, were these stories - where you were either the hero, the adventurer, or the explorer. And every few pages, you had to make a choice. It was the most important decision ever because each choice influenced how the story ended. With some paths leading to glory. And others ending with alien invasions, tyrannosaurus rex attacks, or any other danger that could happen in your wildest imagination. Read the rest of this story here— via my substack.

Choose Your Own Adventure Isaiah 34:1-2, 35:10

In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the painful reality behind “kind” gestures that aren't kind at all. When a homemade cheesecake or a perfectly crafted cup of coffee is offered by someone who's spent years neglecting your needs, it can feel like a calculated move—a manipulation tactic meant to keep you tethered to your old wounds. Through raw storytelling and a “Choose Your Own Adventure” narrative, you'll hear firsthand how these token gestures, far from mending the past, often serve as a reminder of every invalidating moment and boundary crossed. This episode isn't just about the seemingly small acts; it's about reclaiming your power, trusting your gut, and choosing your own path toward healing. If you've ever felt that a sweet gesture was really an insult in disguise, this episode is for you. Listen in for an honest conversation about emotional abuse, the traps of covert narcissism, and the critical steps to rebuild your life on your own terms. Your journey to healing starts here. Take the next step in your healing: If you're ready to break free and reclaim your life, check out my coaching services at www.covertnarcissism.com. You deserve more than crumbs. ❤️

Chris Hensley thought starting seventh grade over again in a small town in the middle of nowhere would be tough enough. New kid, new school, extra-heavy backpack – the usual middle school drama.

This spine-tingling tale will make you think twice about your next bus ride home.

It's impossible to have the same energy and the same type of goals year after year. Let's face it, we're going to be in a different season of our lives, and the new year isn't the time to feel bad about not having “that kind of goal”. In this episode, we discuss seasons, the different energies to match those seasons, and what it means to focus on virtues instead of quantitative goals (because we're pros on that one). Let's start the year evaluating what means the most to you, and that starts on the inside first. Listen now.

The affluent life is simple to attain once we discover that we can choose the good. When we choose to focus on the good, we can feel the whole power of the universe behind us. This is how we experience affluence as a way of life. Affluence means we're in the flow, in harmony with God's purpose for our life. Discipline means choosing, moment by moment to stay on the beam with our greater good. While we're busy taking care of God's business, He's busy taking care of ours and we can boldly proclaim, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” On this episode, with Darrell taking a much-needed rest, Ed discusses how affluent living is the result of choosing a generous attitude and loving behavior. And, during the second segment, Unity Minister, tender-hearted Tom Thorpe gets us motivated to choose the good life with today's reading, “Everyday's Christmas!” Join the Prosperous Patreon Community: www.Patreon.com/FunniestThing

We're back to Hark as the Goosebuddies Chad, Paul, and Kevin adventure through the second (and last) of R.L. Stine's sci-fi Choose Your Own Adventure series: The Invaders of Hark. We're thrust into the city of Hark where multiple alien factions fight for control and a beautiful princess. These books are brutal with only one correct path. Will we survive? OFF TOPICS: Paul's adventures in Unreal Engine, Godot Adventure begins: 15:30 Support the show on patreon.com/goosebuds UPDATE TO PATREON: Due to changes on Patreon's side we're being forced to shift from our per creation setup (where you'd pledge tiers and pay for each episode released a month) to a monthly subscription (a flat fee tier). Our goal is to make this as least disruptive as possible. Here's the summary of new tiers. $5/month - Ghoulie Our exclusive Goosebuds Discord Early access to episodes before they go live Voting on episodes we read next! $10/month - Camper Camp Goosebuds bonus episodes every month Forever immortalized in the Book of Names at the end of each episode All the rewards from the 'Ghoulie' level (Discord, early access, and voting) As we always put out at least two regular episodes a month this shouldn't change the overall amount you were pledging, just how and when it's charged. But this is not an automatic shift. You'll need to adjust your tiers to the new levels!

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the Choose Your Own Adventure series of books, which debuted 45 years ago. We all loved these books, and for very different reasons. Plus our usual crazy talk, geek news, and tangents

Who is Tanisha Souza, J.D.? What about due diligence? How about a story? What does Tardus Wealth Strategies do? What...

Thanksgiving is coming up soon! Preparation can be stressful, so Enjoy Stuff helps you with some choices. Which way will you go?   Choose Your Own Adventure books are so much fun. It's a different story every time, just like Thanksgiving. So we decided to plan the perfect Retro-Giving by letting you pick which of our favorite retro parts of the holiday will impress your relatives and keep everyone guessing (and sometimes running for the antacids)   News George Takei announces a very cool graphic memoir!  Wanna buy the original recording console used by the Beatles when they recorded Abbey Road?

Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez nailed it again along with a plethora of other stars populating season 4. And now that we know there's going to be a season 5, you can bet there will be a cliffhanger ending. Shua checked out the new Robert Zemeckis movie “Here” with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. A movie that takes place in one place where the camera doesn't move. The story moves back and forth through time, stringing together a story of the house and the families that lived there. Not the strongest story, but definitely worth experiencing.    Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay revisits the 2007 Will Smith apocalypse/zombie movie “I am Legend”. The third movie to adapt the 1954 novel by Richard Matheson. It has some great stuff throughout, despite changing the ending significantly.  Read his article on RetroZap.com.  And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com.

We're nearing the last leg of Odysseus' journey, and he's really caught between a rock and a hard place. Between the devil and the deep blue sea. Between...well, between Scylla and Charybdis.
