As I love Discworld, Monty Python and LotR, I had to try this. So far, I am not disappointed. The writing is generally Discworld-delicious, some of the comedy Pythonesque. What I find missing, if I may offer a humble...consideration for future projects, is a bit of the LotR deliberateness. Because NYMS is written for everyone, it ends up feeling rather one-size-fits-all that doesn't really fit anyone well. I chose svelte female elf, yet the narration feels from a male pov, and there has been nothing unique based on my choice of race. At one point she was even carrying a guy, making me wonder if that happens even if you choose halfling (I cannot see Frodo carrying Aragorn, for example). I realise making each race and sex distinct, especially in such a long Interactive Fiction would be hard, but I would sacrifice some of the frequent quips and puns for a few flavourful lines to make our chosen mc more unique. All that said, this is still a fun and silly story! Thank you for this, and I'm off to keep playing!
