WELCOME ADVENTURERS'
TO ANOTHER EDITORIAL UPDATES
Greetings, lowly ones! another
Fighting Fantasy™ editorial
update.
First up-this month after a long hiatus will see lots of amature adventures in downloadable .pdf format for you to read at your leasure. Also online in April part 1 of Fighting Fantasy™
: the Introductory Advanced role-playing game. A free taster of an all-but complete book
on how to role-play Advanved Fighting Fantasy™
adventures..
The new taster will reveal how to generate more complex role-playing adventures with the introduction of a new character generation system along with WITS and DEX, a new special SKILL system, MANA magic use, adjusted combat system, and includes a full new complete introductory adventure - Deathrise Mountain - that will provide you and your friends with a great way to start your own adventures in the realms of Allansia. Even better
the generation chapter will enable you to construct seemingly
endless adventurers from Fanf to Zengis, Sardath to Frostholm.
Within the complete volume are hundreds
of detailed rules for encounters, combat, travelling, advancement, wealth, specialised skill use, spell use, career change and more that you randomly and easily generate with
a simple D6.
WE WANT YOU!
Fighting
Fantasy™.com has been designed to build a library
of information regarding the Fighting
Fantasy™ genre in general and it is our hope that
it will become a regular port of call where you can read posts,
contact other Fighting Fantasy™
fans, read new amateur stories and Gamebook adventures and become
part of it's growing community development. If you can recall
the days of the brilliant Warlock magazine, we want this site
to develop through your input as much as the Fighting
Fantasy™ magazine also did during its 13 issue
publication.
CONTRIBUTORS :
In order for the site to develop long term what we need is your
assistance. What we'd like from all our visitors at the site
is contributions on any of the topics below. Please read our
submissions area if you would like to contribute in any form.
You will get full credit for all your work. We would like your
help with the following:
ARTWORK : This
site will be dedicated to posting any of your illustrated pictures
or scanned images associated with the Fighting
Fantasy™ legacy. If anyone can provide the site
with any drawings, scanned illustrations or book covers, maps,
etc., Then their will be a special place for them here.
ADVENTURES :
Are you considering developing a game book? Have you the skills
necessary to write or devise a FF, AFF adventure? Have created
one and would like to see it posted here for others to read?
Do you want to see a particular Fighting
Fantasy™ adventure in the future that sadly was
never devised? If you can answer YES to any of the above questions
then contact us for more information.
REVIEWS : If
you would like to post your reviews or comments about any particular
Fighting Fantasy™ game books,
the AFF game, FF novels or handbooks, then send them to us!
All contributions should be a good length (describing the story,
what you liked or disliked about the book as well as any general
comments and comparisons that you have with other books). If
you would like to also provide a personal rating out of 10 in
comparison to other Fighting Fantasy™
books I can then post a rating system in the future. I know
most people believe they're all good, but some of them are a
lot better than others, and the lower ratings will reflect that.
SOLUTIONS :
Solutions to game books could provide a way to help other readers
who have found a particular adventure tough. For most people,
this is easy to accomplish - but for others it is less so. If
you would like to provide detailed information on how to finish
an adventure, solve the puzzles, crack the codes then send your
solutions to us. They need not be extensive or exhaustive (it's
up to you whether you want offer a bare minimum of help to a
complete walk through or a lot more), but bare in mind not to
give to much of the plot or story away otherwise there is no
point in playing the book for the other readers. Last and most
important, don't give away the ending. It is always easy to
read the ending anyway but bare in mind some readers won't have.
AFF : If you
have created characters, places or events during your FF or
AFF adventures, or have even started a campaign we would be
delighted to hear from you. If you have devised your own campaign
world and setting for AFF and would like to see it on the web
again let us know about it.
MULTI-PLAYER :
The creation of an adventure is a tough process and requires
a lot of time and patience. Not only have you got to consider
the plot, setting, size and timescale in which to play it, but
also the players, the events that will happen and characters
they'll encounter. For this reason, many people miss out on
the brilliance of fantasy role-playing (particularly if they
can't find any other experienced players). We are especially
looking for individuals who are skilled in this area. If you
are currently playing another more popular role-playing game
and have devised your own adventures, post us a general outline
and plot. Provide details of events, encounters, creatures and
characters met along with any maps and epilogue.
We want this website to inspire
you to take quill to scroll and become a haven for your ideas
and suggestions that you can like to share with other fans.
We are especially looking for Fighting Fantasy™ contributions
concerning new rule articles, new monsters, new Sorcery! spell
ideas, and anything else you would like to see upon the site.
We want to know how you think we could improve existing adventures
or the rules, so feel free to write up an article and send it
in. Articles are a great way to share adventure ideas with other
players.
May your Stamina never fail?
The Warlock! - July 2006.
