Latest News - January 2012 - 304 A.C. Year of the Fox

Happy new year and welcome to the January 2012 news update on the world's greatest Fighting Fantasy website. It is the month of Freezing in Allansia and the start of a very busy year for Fighting Fantasy since it is our 30th Anniversary. The Warlock of Firetop Mountain was published 30 years ago on 27th August 1982 (see image for original cover).

It is the intention that on the 27th August 2012, Ian Livingstone will release his new gamebook but you are going to have to wait a little longer to find out what the theme is and the title. Keep visiting the site for teasers.

We are all looking forward to more Advanced Fighting Fantasy RPG releases from Arion Games following in the footsteps of the last three. Expect to see the Sorcery! title Crown of Kings adapted first and then followed by Out of the Pit II, Blacksand, Dungeoneer and Allansia as well.

A lot of you are wondering what has happened to the House of Hell movie? Well, negotiations are still taking place to make it happen and hopefully I will have some news for you on that soon.

At the end of last year Worldweaver released City of Thieves on the Kindle (US only, UK to be confirmed) and they have announced House of Hell as the next title followed by Creature of Havoc.

You have also been asking about the next release on iPhone, however no plans are in place at the moment for anymore to be released. The good news is that a few interested parties are working with us on bringing the books to Android (fingers crossed). No news as to whether or not the books will be released on the Nook platform though.

Also to look forward too is the Laughing Jackal release of Forest of Doom in the PSN mini format.

Traffic to the website has risen, Facebook likes are up and we have gained a hundred or so more Twitter followers, so I must be doing something right! I re-opened the registration part of the site and gained a few hundred more followers only for it to be abused again so I have shut it down until I work that through. I will endeavour to mass mail every legitimate member to keep in-touch.

I have lots of amendments to do on the site this year. I will be selling signed books through the site and running more competitions. I will also be integrating more of the original material into the site as well. Look out for issue 8 of the Fighting Fantazine at the end of this month where I will be interviewed at length.
