In this podcast segment we take a look at a prototype copy of Pocket Book Adventures. This is a single player RPG style adventure that you can take anywhere. All that's needed to play is the pocket book and a pencil. 

Pocket Book Adventures features puzzle like movement and a unique blind pencil point resolution system that is both fun and engaging. Each book features fifty maps with enough variety that they don't get boring. 

This review is one segment of episode 190 of The Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast, This is Halloween.

From the publisher:

Pocket Book Adventures is a solo-only, minimalist dungeon crawler that’s built for travel. Explore dozens of maps, encounter unique monsters, fight powerful bosses, level up, grab loot, and do it all with nothing but the book and a pencil!

Rather than using dice or cards to generate randomness, Pocket Book Adventures introduces a simple, dexterity-based system that balances skill and luck for truly engaging gameplay.

Each turn of the page gives you a new map full of monsters to fight and loot to grab! Simple rules make it feel almost like a vintage video game.
