Gamebook Friday: Fighting Fantasy Fest 5 Merch

It may be two weeks since Fighting Fantasy Fest 5 took place in London, but you can still pick up your FFF5 merch here.

Also, if you were unable to attend the event - or you did attend, but you would like another one - you can currently pick up this bundle on Ebay.

It includes a copy of the collectible programme and autograph book, the Deathtrap Dungeon lanyard, and two 'greenspine' dice featuring the Fighting Fantasy Fest logo in place of the 6 spot.

Gamebook Friday: Magic Realms - The Art of Fighting Fantasy

Now available from all good book retailers*, is the long awaited Magic Realms: The Art of Fighting Fantasy, by Sir Ian Livingstone and Yours Truly. The official launch party was held at the Barnes Bookshop on 5th September, attended by Sir Ian, while plenty of people picked up a copy last weekend at Fighting Fantasy Fest 5.


I was on BBC Radio Somerset on 5th September, talking about the new book and the Fighting Fantasy series in general. You can listen to the 12 minute interview with Vicki Clark for the next 22 days here. (The bit you want begins at the 2hr 16min mark.)

Vicki Clark of BBC Radio Somerset and Yours Truly.

Sir Ian and I will be signing copies of Magic Realms: The Art of Fighting Fantasy tomorrow, Saturday 14th September 2024, at the Forbidden Planet Megastore in London, from 2:00-3:00pm. So, maybe I'll see you there.


* I am aware that those people who backed the book through Unbound have yet to receive their signed copies and I am very sorry about this. Unfortunately Sir Ian and I have no control over when the rewards are sent out, but we have expressed our disappointment to the publisher.
