... is coming to Kickstarter on
Saturday 8th October 2022! If you haven't already,
sign up here to be notified when the project goes live.
40 years ago, on 27th August 1982, the very first Fighting Fantasy Gamebook,
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, was published.
In 2012 and 2017, I ran successful Kickstarter campaigns to publish
YOU ARE THE HERO - A History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks and
YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2. I now want to publish and revised and updated edition to mark the 40th anniversary of the world's premier gamebook series - and this time it's going to be interactive!
YOU ARE THE HERO - An Interactive History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks is going to be available to backers of the new Kickstarter in four different formats; eBook, paperback, hardback, and deluxe hardback.
The standard hardback edition will look like the previous hardbacks in the series, featuring a printed papercase. However, the deluxe hardback will be bound in faux red leather, in honour of the series' Ruby Anniversary, with the title and FF logo embossed in gold leaf, and will also include ribbon bookmarks. The book's final cover artwork will appear inside the book.
A mock-up of the limited edition, faux leather bound, deluxe hardback, featuring gold embossed detailing.
In other gamebook-related news, due to the need to reduce the amount of stuff I have following a house move across the country, I am selling off some of my author copies of the gamebooks and novels I have written over the years. I will, of course, sign the books for anyone who would like to buy them, and I am selling them through
Ebay. To see exactly what I have on offer,
