UK Games Expo 2025

I am at the UK Games Expo at the NEC all weekend, from Friday 30th May - Sunday 1st June 2025. You will find me at Stand 2-359 in Hall 2.

This will be the first time you can buy my new Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook The Tides of Innsmouth.

Strange and mysterious sightings send Arkham Investigators to explore the decrepit town of Innsmouth where horrors beneath the sea have risen to consume the world in this new action-adventure gamebook set in the popular world of Arkham Horror.

2025 marks 10 years since the publication of the first ACE Gamebook, Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland, and I will have copies of all eight adventures that are currently in print with me.

I will also have copies of my ACE Gamebook Roleplay RPGs for sale, including The Box of Delights RPG, not to mention copies of YOU ARE THE HERO and MAGIC REALMS.

So, if you're coming along, do stop by Stand 2-359 and say hello. I might even show you the artwork for Shakespeare Vs. Cthulhu: What Dreams May Come.

Gamebook Friday: Dragonmeet 2024

I will be at Dragonmeet on Saturday 30 November 2024, where I will be joining Sir Ian Livingstone on the Fighting Fantasy stand in the Upper Trade Hall (indicated by the small blue tent under the ACE Gamebooks logo on the map below).

I will have copies of YOU ARE THE HERO: An Interactive History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks to sell, and Sir Ian will have copies of MAGIC REALMS: The Art of Fighting Fantasy that we worked on together, both of which were published earlier this year.

I will also have some phsyical copies of the 'TWAS and HEOROT RPGs with me, so do come along and check them out. Maybe I'll see you there.

Gamebook Friday: Jonathan Green to attend Dragonmeet 2024

I must apologise for the lack of Gamebook Friday updates recently. I have in fact been very busy working on multiple gamebook projects, but I still can't say very much about them. However, there will hopefully be at least one announcement at Dragonmeet this year.

I will be attending Dragonmeet on Saturday 30 November 2024, where I will be joining Sir Ian Livingstone on the Fighting Fantasy stand in the Upper Trade Hall (marked in blue on the map below).

I will have copies of YOU ARE THE HERO: An Interactive History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks to sell, and Sir Ian will have copies of MAGIC REALMS: The Art of Fighting Fantasy that we worked on together, both of which were published earlier this year.

I will also have some phsyical copies of the 'TWAS and HEOROT RPGs with me, so do come along and check them out. Maybe I'll see you there.

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.)

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.
