Tales of the Arabian Nights

Description
In Tales of the Arabian Nights, you are the hero or heroine in a story of adventure and wonder just like those told by Scheherazade to her spellbound sultan! You will travel the land seeking your own destiny and fortune. You will learn stories and gain wisdom to share with others. Will you be the first to fulfill your destiny? The next Tale is yours to tell! There is, of course, a winner in Tales of the Arabian Nights, but the point of the game is less to see who wins and more to enjoy the unfolding and telling of a great story!

In this new edition of the groundbreaking storytelling game, you enter the lands of the Arabian Nights alongside Sindbad, Ali Baba, and the other legendary heroes of the tales. Travel the world encountering imprisoned princesses, powerful 'efreets, evil viziers, and such marvels as the Magnetic Mountain and the fabled Elephant's Graveyard.

Choose your actions carefully and the skills you possess will reward you: become beloved, wealthy, mighty - even become sultan of a great land. Choose foolishly, however, and become a beggar, or be cursed with a beast's form or become insane from terror! YOU will bring to life the stories of the inestimable Book of Tales in this vastly replayable board game with over 2002 tales that will challenge, amuse, astound and spellbind you for years to come.

!! IMPORTANT !!

To play this game you need to have a copy of the 'Book of Tales' which comes with the boxed set. There are online versions that exist, but due to the size and restrictions, you will have to find this on your own. Owning the boxed set comes with a copy of the book as well!

Without these content creators this mod would not exist, so major kudos to the OC creators and Z-Man for expanding the book of tales of the original Tales of the Arabian Nights! I merely re-arranged and organized their efforts into this mod.

yandex link still works for me
make sure you only replace the (dot) with actual dots like this one: .
e.g. www(dot)example(dot)com => {LINK REMOVED}

@_n when following your link, I get this message (a translation of the original russian text) from the host site (after twice telling yandex that I am not a robot)

Nothing found
In the link, a typo, or the owner deleted the files or closed access to them.

Here's a web based version of the reaction matrices:

Great mod, but do you happen to know where I can find the reaction matrices? Its the only thing I can't get

@_n Thank you so much! I tried the links replacing (dot) its "." (as I didn't notice they said (dot) before you told me lol) and ill use the mega file as well as your extension object since the extension doesn't cover the choice options which are encounters 174-189, but the rest will help loads and I can just use the file for everything that isn't included in the cube extension. Thank you!!

@JetFire I just checked the links and they all seem to be working fine. In order to stop steam from deleting the links (they seem to not like anything linking to a file upload service), I have to conceal them from the automatic link checker.
You just have to copy the link into a web browser (not in-game) and replace each " (dot) " with an actual " . " character to create a valid URL.

I wouldn't recommend actually loading the PDF in-game because it's very large and will most likely lag the game a lot. It's quite inconvenient having to alt-tab to a PDF all the time, so I've also made an in-game encounter paragraph lookup tool, which you can find here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2126496666

@_n the links aren't working for me. also, where should I put the links in? I can't find a solid answer on how to implement them and I also can't find the Book of Tales digitally elsewhere for copyright reasons.

Thank you very much.

Courtesy of Pixxel Wizzard, I have links to a high quality Book of Tales PDF:
disk(dot)yandex(dot)fr/i/8rAIE34DjPdICg
drive(dot)google(dot)com/file/d/1OAUbd57WgOsyLdddgbsR-glOjyMX5c1J/view?usp=sharing
mega(dot)nz/file/lwN1CaTZ#imhnW2jpEQlTZftBpmlIddEB-hfngI5iVRJp4IZ9x3E

none of these links should expire, though if they become unavailable, feel free to poke me and I'll reupload them

I found a pretty good copy of the book of tales and split it into 3 books (not the OCR version that has issues with edges). They are a bit large but I bagged them so they could be loaded after the initial start.

Unfortunately we had issue with one of the player's pieces exploding and falling through the table.

Does anyone know why this happened?

I would be happy to provided the books to you for inclusion.
