Stardust Market Appraiser - A Fantasy Bazaar RPG

A fantasy gamebook where you play as an adventurer visiting an annual bazaar called "Stardust Market." With limited time and funds, you explore three districts hunting for bargains among 115 different items—from worn weapons and practical supplies to rare treasures and suspicious magical goods. You appraise items using skill checks, luck rolls, and magical senses, deciding how much information to gather before buying or passing. The shop roster and merchandise rotate across morning, afternoon, and evening, with time-limited sales and hidden items. After closing, you can negotiate private deals, trade goods, or haggle over unsold stock. Back at your lodging, the true identity and value of your purchases are revealed, determining your profit, rank, and potential special endings. Replay unlocks a shopping encyclopedia tracking item prices, locations, and availability. A single-player, replay-focused fantasy gamebook playable in any web browser without internet connection.
