Thanks for this, Fighting Fantasy books were my gateway into Tabletop RPGs as a hobby. They were tucked away in the corner of my school library and I think I went through all of them. It was the Russ Nicholson art that did it for me. There was so much to see in every drawing and the Ghoul from Warlock of Firetop Mountain was horrifying. As an adult I went back and started to collect the books but the holes in my collection are at the truly eye-watering end of the price spectrum at this point.
Russ Nicholson is sorely underrated and missed. Absolutely love his art.
Excellent! Thank you for this. Brought back many memories. My favorite content from you is Fighting Fantasy and Traveller.
Game diversity is my blessing and my curse 😉 Thank-you!
I was a mid 80s child, but I remember finding my older brother's Sorcery books and being infatuated with them ever since. They still sit on my shelf to this day.
Sorcery was definitely what first kindled my love for tabletop RPGs.
I'm a bit longer in the tooth for that to have been the case for me, but I do think the Sorcery sequence is the most well thought out of the FF books.
I actually think reading those early Fighting Fantasy books (definitely the first 3) gave me a better understanding of running RPGs than the RPG books themselves! My memories are hazy but I really struggled with Tunnels & Trolls, my first game, and how to play/run it. It started to 'click' when I read the gamebooks and realised that a game of T&T or D&D was like a gamebook just with more choices. That was such a revelation to 9/10 year old me!
Do a Lone Wolf one Willy! And a Way of the Tiger one! Love those two series along with Fabled Lands. 😁
I can't say they taught me how to play in the same way. I "grew up" on Traveller, and the Starship Traveller FF book I found totally frustrating! On the other hand, I've destroyed two copies of Firetop Mountain in my time through use and abuse.
Lone Wolf is on the list. I'm not familiar with Way of the Tiger, though - anywhere I can check it out?
@@WillyMuffinUKI've tried replying 3 times now and YT isn't having it. The first in the series is Avenger! by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson. The world is called Orb and it felt really well realised and evocative - reference to things in the books that were never further developed, just mentioned off-hand, gave it a real sense of verisimilitude to me as a teenager back then. Highly recommend picking up all the series and it really did try to do different things for the gamebook medium - books 4 and 5 (Overlord! and Warbringer!) being real highlights for me. The story in each book was interconnected and felt a lot tighter than even Lone Wolf. The series ended abruptly with book 6 (quite literally within the narrative of that book) but a few years ago it was finished off with a seventh book and then a prequel one called Ninja!
@@Rich_H_1972 TH-cam was being weird for me earlier (some of the comment buttons on my own channel greyed out), so maybe they were having some tech issues.
Anyway - glad you managed to get your reply in! Thank-you for the info 🙂 I'll see what I can find from there.
@@WillyMuffinUKYou're welcome mate! Happy gaming!
I am thinking your world needs to get added to the milieu list. =)
Shhh... it might have sneaked onto it... 😉
