So who here is going to Fighting Fantasy Fest? |

For better or worse I have Dudley library DND the day after and Digbeth First Friday the evening before. Do they not aim the brand and the events at children in any case? |

There were very few children last time, but Scholastic seem to be making more of an effort for children. We'll see on the day. I know there are plenty of grown up gamebook people going. |

There's one tonight. I guess anyone staying over will go to one afterwards. |

The one tonight needs an advanced ticket from Event brute and is a pub quiz. It's on the FF blog. |

Hopefully it's in a decent rock boozer like the Intrepid Fox - as featured in Behind the Mask. |

I live in Canada can't attend this stuff. Does Fighting Fantasy have tee shirts and hoodies out yet? I want one |

Hoodies are brilliant. I've been living in this Arch Enemy hoodie since Metal days. At the time I bought it it was the only dry thing I owned. |

@Tammy - there were T shirts for the day as part of the adventurers' backpack. I didn't get one as I was leaving my job when the tickets came out and I was unsure as to how much work I would have. Don't think there's any T shirts that you can buy. There will be a new FF book out next year, though! |

But I want to promote FF at work with a shirt |

I wouldn't mind promoting Novacrow either, but I can guarantee I would be sacked. My Facebook might say I work at witchcraft as a mercenary, but, like university girl friend being a dark elf, I made that bit up. |

Apparently you can purchase FF t-shirts from Amazon. |

@Gavin
??? Is there an economic crisis going on at your end? I always thought we were all holding high-tech nerd jobs, and that we are irreplacable to our bosses... On another note, what's Novacrow? I may need to brush up my nerd credentials a bit. :-) |

I've said too much. I definitely work at witchcraft. That's what happens when you get 2:2, even with an MEng (Hons)0Oxon.
Novacrow are a goth metal band from Wolverhampton though they studied at Liverpool. They are amazing talents and I support their efforts wherever possible.
As for economic crisis though after watching them at Metal days, Megadeth at Bloodstock and Sister Shotgun at Bridgnorth all my cards are maxed out. Alex Sanders supposedly magicked up a vast fortune,but I didn't. |

In other news Anthrax Breathing Lightning is dead good and like much of their stuff is based on Stephen King more science fiction material. |

One of the freeware CYOA sites made me consider sharing the news. I started working on my own solo-adventure, and I can report that:
- Usage is easy. Even a non-programmer can learn to use it within a maximum of 2 hours.
- FF adventures can be fully implemented, if you know a mini-software for the dice rolls, or use the depicted dice like in the originals on '.jpgs

I think it is a decent step forward to increase the author's reputation, as your solo adventures are complete, while my own barely started.
I hope it becomes a good experience for those who check it out, too. |

You are more right than you know. Ever heard Sad But True by Metallica? |
