Planescape: Torment - Novelization
Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planescape_Torment)
Original format (http://www.wischik.com/lu/senses/pst-book.html)
Planescape: Torment is a computer role-playing game developed for Microsoft Windows by Black Isle Studios. Released on December 12, 1999 (see 1999 in video gaming), the game takes place in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Planescape campaign setting. Torment places emphasis on conversation and storyline instead of combat. The game begins in Sigil, where the protagonist, an enigmatic and heavily scarred immortal dubbed The Nameless One by the game's interface, wakes up in a mortuary with no memory of his identity and past experiences. Assuming the role of The Nameless One, players embark on a quest to solve the mysteries surrounding him
Rhyss Hess played through the game, wrote down all the dialog, and added enough narrative to make it flow like a novel.
I have no clue how I managed to convert it (with working TOC too!) into LRF format using BD. If someone can do a better job, go for it. ;)
Not too sure about Copyright in this regard...
This novel has been composed from text copied from the computer game Planescape: Torment by Black Isle Studios. It was turned into a novel by Rhyss Hess, and typeset by Lucian Wischik.
