Fighting Fantasy Fest 2 Sept 2017 Chat.

Join Ken and Julian as they have a good old chinwag about the second Fighting Fantasy Fest that took place at the University of West London in Ealing on the 2nd of September 2017.

If like me, you grew up when The Warlock of Firetop Mountain was published by Penguin, you’ll know all about the adventure game books that let you decide how the story unfolds. If you didn’t, you’re in for a treat.

Imagine reading a fantasy story but instead of the daring deeds being made by an adventurer the author has written, in these game books, YOU are the hero. You get to pick what you do by selecting different story entries numbers, flicking to the correct entry and continue with the story.

On top of the decision-based mechanic, you also get to fighting monsters! Before you get stuck in with the quest, you roll dice to determine your SKILL, STAMINA, and LUCK scores. These will aid you as you encounter enemies, take damage, or have to test your luck.

Thirty-five years ago, Games Workshop co-founders Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson had an idea to show non-gamers how to play Dungeons and Dragons. The result was the Fighting Fantasy game book series that have sold millions of copies worldwide and entertained kids and adults alike.

Fantasy author Jonathan Green loved the series so much he wrote two books YOU are the Hero and YOU are the Hero 2, and is the creator and organiser of Fighting Fantasy Festival.

May your stamina never fail you!
