Trunking: Definition

Trunking is a technique that developed after the first e-CYOA. It is commonly used in games such as Choice of the Dragon, or any other game made by Choice of Games LLC. This technique has a branching storyline that returns to a core, or trunk, storyline. So despite your decisions, unless you die, you will keep coming back to a pre-defined story. Your decisions merely decide how you deal with it, and add extra "chapters" to the story, but in the end you must still deal with the trunk story.
