Stumbled across this website and I have to say, it's fantastic. Used to love the FF books when I was a kid. I'm playing Hellfire now and I'm a bit stuck.

Hi Stuart,
Gamebooks for this comp must be written in the 12 months prior to the submission deadline for 2009. The competition timetable allows for a development period up to the 1st of September. Check the Windhammer Prize page for the full competition timetable. Unlike last year I have given a much longer development period, one that should allow any prospective entrants the time to put something together. I look forward to your entry.

Greetings,

I invested one night to do auto-correction, adding hyperlinks and making a pdf where one can click those out of "Beggars of Blacksand".

I stored it at http://scribd.com/pauper to hopefully bring some people... to the wrong side! It will bring people to the link in the file, which is www.fightingfantasygamebooks.com

I got an email and mail you a copy, if it works.

If the author dislikes my self-initiative... my apologies, the passion of joyful gaming really took me for a moment. After all, I did your work cost-free.

Hi Duffmeister.
I have the first volume in .pdf which I downloaded from Underdogs last year. I can email it to you if you provide an address.

I too, must ask about online gamebooks. While writing my 'Achaeid' I heard a lot about the greek themed 'Cretan Chronicles'. I have been unable to find much about them aside from very basic synopses. Are there any online versions of them in the fashion of Lone Wolf?

The Fabled Lands series was really innovative. It's a terrible shame it was left, literally, half finished. Damn, I wanted to go to the underworld so bad, too.

Thanks very much, either or both of those would be great. As a major exploration fan, the series deffinately sounded like my sort of thing.

Interestingly enough, on Wikipedia there was a quotation from the creator saying that he'd considder making a web based version of the books. It's a shame that hasn't materialized as yet, sinse not only would that be an incredibly good thing in general, but also obviously it'd make things exceptionally good on the accessibility end of things, as in fact the one or two exploration based online games, ----- Age of fable and Sryth, have in fact been.

Never mind though, I'll look forward to trying the books out.

all the best,

Dark.

Hi.

I was wondering if someone could please help me with this.

For a long while, on sites like here and project.aon I've heard of the fabled lands series.

Reading about them on Wikipedia, they sound really intreaguing.

apparently all of the originally published books, ----- pluss some extra fan published later books, are available from the Fabled lands yahoo group as pdf documents.

while playing gamebooks in basic text using ctrl F can be rather slow as compared to links, it's stil certainly a lot better than not playing them at all.

the only problem is that to download the books requires being signed up to the yahoo group, which requires one of those irritating image verification logueines, and unlike Google's groups system there didn't seem to be any kind of alternative.

Contacting Yahoo to fix this looks like something of a nightmare with their contact forms (which also feature image verification systems from what I could gather), so I was wondering if someone around here who might have the books from the fabled lands group, ---- both the originals and any fan work, would be kind enough to send them to me. I could also see then about sticking them on sendspace or similar so other visually impared gamebook fans could read them without hastle.

The E-mail address to send to would be dark at xgam dot org.

As an exploration fan, I deffinately like what I've hard of this series, so am certainly eager to try them.

Thanks in advance.

Dark.

normanscott Sun May 24 12:23:38 2009 General Chat	i didn't mean outsider (once again, sorry) but curse of the yeti
	That one is from the Warlock magazine version of Caverns Of The Snow Witch and is by Duncan Smith.

normanscott Sat May 23 14:16:12 2009 General Chat	sorry for the repeated questions, but this is the last one. what about the pictures of lair of the troglodytes, outsider and in the footsteps of a hero (i'm assuming its from magehunter)?
	Well, the Outsider! one I've just told you. The Lair Of The Troglodytes picture is from Casket Of Souls and is by Iain McCaig, the one for In The Footsteps Of A Hero is by Russ Nicholson and is from one of the books in the Fabled Lands series.

normanscott Thu May 21 07:01:36 2009 General Chat	is the picture of the vampire as the template of outsider! from Vault of the Vampire or Revenge of the Vampire?
	Revenge Of The Vampire.

Hey Ulysses. I've been playing The Diamond Key, and it's got to rank as one of my best FF reads ever. Kudos.

Question. I am trying to get to the reference 1000 ending, but am getting stuck somewhere.
