    Hi guys,

    I am wondering if it would be possible to write a chapter (x), and have two following chapters (y and z) as a single option only.

    At the base of x would be one link (lets call it 'Continue') and from there would go to either Y or Z.

    Possible?

    It is not possible to randomly choose chapter Y or Z.
    It would be possible if you know, which of both chapters should be the destination.
    (Though it would be one destination chapter, only showing the right text.)

    What you could try is to give the chapters names without link to their content and ask the reader to flip a coin, roll a dice or choose randomly like in old choose your own adventure books. It relies on readers being honest but there is no other ways yet. (I too would like it if it was possible)
