@kyonshi I looked around at various lists of best loved Infocom adventures and added them to my plan (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/z1xo8c163g5bfd9p0lt7w/Adventure-game-plan.md?rlkey=5vp89hdyrymkrsij29o0hup0d&st=n9ca76cb&dl=0). I have found a friend willing to play through them with me, so I'm going to start off with another crack at Zork, invisiclues in hand - even though it's probably not the best it's just so influential and I really want that context.

Lilbits: Gaming on all the things (Snapdragon PCs, handhelds, Chromebooks, and really old PCs)

I just set up a custom GPT "ESOL Dungeon Master" to play #Zork / #NetHack / #ChooseYourOwnAdventure games with #EnglishLearner students. Focused on English language #education.
Need to convince the higher ups to allow me to play it with students during class. I'm not sure if it will be "go for it" or "we need to get permission from higher higher-ups and / or parents."
If you have #ChatGPT access, search for "ESOL Dungeon Master" by Chris Spackman. Feedback appreciated.
