Does it mean SMall PeopLE by any chance... relating to the room with four small people who tell you the secret to navigating the maze. ;)

Ha, as if those four guys tell you anything useful. That mazemaster doesn\'t help any, either.
Okay, LJ, having found Warlock easier to reach new pages in than Talisman, I went and got every page in the log book--yet my percentage says 99%, not 100%. What gives? :O
Also, issues I encountered (###SPOILER ALERT###):
- Trying the key combo 9 + 99 + 125 causes the game to hard-crash the PSP (auto shutoff after being frozen for a few seconds) and unrecoverably freeze the PS3. It\'s worth noting that the page of their sum value, page 233, is not a key sum result page, so this might be descended from an oversight in the original book\'s design.
- Two of the log book entries are incomplete. The item entry \"Blessed Helmet\" is completely blank, and the character entry \"Cavemen\" stops mid-sentence (\"Strong, rangy and able to scratch out an existence where other men would\").
- On page 55, I rolled a value equal to my luck value (and my stamina was much higher), but the system did not follow the page\'s stated \"dice are less than or equal\" rule and made me go to the page of the \"greater than\" rule.
- Minor: fairly frequently, the Arabic numerals that float out of a rolled pair of dice are backwards. That is, for dice A and B, the number floating out of die A will be die B\'s value, and vice versa.
- Minor: I managed to drive my luck down to -12 once. :)
Anyway, I definitely played more of Warlock than the story warranted. Maybe I should replay Talisman once more.

@onmode-ky: That\'s awesome, thanks for the incredibly detailed feedback.
I\'ll have a word with the programmer about this later on today and we\'ll see what we can dig up when time permits.
Glad you\'re enjoying it in spite of these faults! Regarding p233, you\'ll be right, although I thought our structural re-jigs had put an end to that sort of thing. There were lots of issues with the keys in the original book as you\'d anticipated.
I fear the same kind of thing may be true with the missing 1 per cent completion problem too, although that needs a little more detective work on our side. :S
Thanks again. ;)

Again, for any non-LJ readers, ###SPOILER ALERT###.
If it\'s any consolation, Al, I\'m pretty sure that\'s the only key combo with a problem. Every other possible key combo (keeping in mind that there are two mutually exclusive key acquisition paths, one which can get you only 5 of the 6 keys and the other which can get you a non-subset 4 of them) has its sum properly accounted for among the book pages.
Might someone be able to transcribe here the text that\'s missing from the game for those two log book entries? I\'m somewhat curious. Hope it\'s not \"Blessed Helmet: helmet which was nearby two people when one of them sneezed.\"

You know, I realized recently that there\'s a simple way to cheat in Laughing Jackal\'s Fighting Fantasy Minis if you don\'t get the result you want from a die/dice roll: press Start to go back to the main menu and then reload your game save. The book will open up to the page you were on, with the roll not having been done yet. Handy if you\'re working on unlocking more log pages.
Oh, LJ, I just saw that you had a flood of games arrive in the Asia-region PS Store last week, something like 6 games (a bunch of Minis and Cubixx HD). Congratulations on a successful blitz attack!

MemberRandom fact for any FF fans, when I was a kid TWOFM was the only FF book I was unable to complete, for some reason I always got stuck in the labyrinth and even chea...\"holding\" pages didn\'t seem to work.
Only learned relatively recently that early editions of the book were flawed and impossible to complete. D and indeed \'oh.
