Im tinkering with an idea for a Knightmare Homage Gamebook, akin to the original books and was wondering what folk would do to update them or make them better

Im working on a new Knightmare Gamebook project that I plan to may turn to an app or into a book, but im having trouble coming up with a combat system that works, any suggestions. Im trying to keep in tone freindly to the original books but at the same time suitable for a more modern reader. The "combat" they have in the books is very simple and not sure if it would stand up today

Hi all im new to the forum but a long time knightmare fan. In fact im thinking about writing a new gamebook based on the IP
