Great article about the Sagard gamebooks and toying with their mechanics, Christian! I didn't know you interviewed Flint Dille, so have a tab open with it to listen later. When I wrote my newsletter, I got some good insight into these books and the D&D (and Saturday-morning cartoon) world at that time by reading Flint's book: "The Gamesmaster: My Life in the '80s Geek Culture Trenches with G.I. Joe, Dungeons & Dragons, and The Transformers".
Flint was a great interview. I did the interview before his Gamesmaster book, but I'd love to interview him again when I get the podcast fully relaunched. That won't happen until post dissertation though.
