Well, all game-books are stateless in *that* sense -- the book does not retain any state. It's all held at the client end. You can change your mind about your stats at any time, and send a new "request" to the book from your new point of view; it will happily jump tracks.

(I suppose some of those FF-style books had a "character sheet" page that you were supposed to record notes on. We could derail this further by arguing about whether that counts as client data or server data. :)
