Hi, Im a big fan of Fighting Fantasy, and I was looking for this site for a long time! I always dreamed of writing a Fighting Fantasy Book, and I have on little question about it: Is it possible to make a FF WWII based adventure?
Thanks for the online version of Midwinter, Andy. Loved it. Looking forward to more works from this author.
Thanks. You might also like to visit http://www.ffgamebooks-online.com, where an online version of Kieran Coghlan's Feathers Of The Phoenix has just been added.
I've made an online version of Kieran Coghlan's festive gamebook.
Tomorrow is the 14th of Snow's Cloak, the Midwinter Festival and all Arion is preparing for the festivities. All that is except you - Ethelred Samiar, the Baron Den Snau. You have no time for the present giving and "good will to all men" that this sanctimonious holiday demands. No, you have great plans for tomorrow. The Love of Libra Orphanage has failed to pay back the money you lent them and you're going to have the place closed down tomorrow...
BACKGROUND It was the 24th of December, and after turning on your computer, you logged onto the fighting fantasy project website...
Now turn to 1
1 As the guestbook page springs up onto your screen, you notice that a different entry is on top, someone has added a post! It has been a while, so you scroll to the bottom of the page.
If you celebrate Christmas, turn to 2 otherwise, turn to 3
2 You read the latest post, which says: "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" You feel a warm glow in your heart. How sweet!
Turn to 4
3 You read the latest post, which says: "Have a GREAT DAY for no particular reason!" You feel touched and special by this random well-wishing, wiping a tear from your eye.
Turn to 4
4 After you finish on the computer, you have an enjoyable evening, and the next day is loads of fun!
Hey, just a line to say that I really enjoy this site! I come back to it every few months to try a few more of the games.
Bodies on the Docks so far is my favourite- I love how there's no hint at the beginning what the theme really is. Instead, I was sucked in by the atmosphere, I was wondering where it was all going. And then the Deep Ones appeared...
Great stuff. I hope the site continues to be a resource for fans and writers of gamebooks!
Hey Kristopher. I was curious as to whether your gamebook would be availlable exclusively to the admins of this site, or whether you'll send them out to us mere mortals as well. *Smile*. I'm always interested to read other's gamebooks. Also, when you finish it, you can submit it for download to the site, and if Andy likes it well enough, it'll probably be added for online play as well. Get back to me when you can. Hope all is going well for the rest of you guys, as well.
This site is amazing!!! Finally one place on the net that capture the real fighting fantasy spirit!!!!

Hi guys, huge fan of this site and love some of the efforts. House of Horror II everybit as good as the original and love the dark humour in the Planet of the Spiders -both right up my street!
You guys inspired me to have my own little effort as I'm a fantasy author too and so I've printed a bonus "choose your own adventure" book as a partial follow up to my debut Lyrian. Sadly not as good as some here (you guys should consider print for some of these efforts!), but I'd love to give a few of the contributors on here a free copy if they like. it's the least i could do for some truly amazing efforts...
if you would like one just email me at lyrian@hotmail.co.uk and i will get one sent out. not sure if it will arrive by Xmas, but something to pass the drab january or give me a pointer of where i'm going wrong =)
well, I went ahead in the series seperately and I must say, I like ht and co because of how you need to do things in a spacific order in ht, and you have to click use so menny times btw, in the dead world
SPOILER
how come I only found that explosive 3 times? is there a spacific path to getting it? it looks random to me twice I faught the giant lizard and killed it
Arborell.com is pleased to announce that the winner of the 2010 Windhammer Prize for Short Gamebook Fiction is Stuart Lloyd for his impressive pirate adventure, Sharkbait's Revenge. Merit awards have also been won by Zachary Carango for his sci-fi adventure, Red World, and Ashton Saylor for his modern-day fantasy entry, The Gates of Heaven and Hell. Congratulations go to all who have been successful in this year's competition and a sincere thankyou to the authors of the entries that did not find success.
2010 has been a year of growth for the Windhammer Prize, the quality and diversity of the entries exceptional, the interest from readers greater than in all previous years. More than 1240 downloads of entries were made over the course of the voting period and the number of votes forwarded more than doubled those received in 2009. It has been both a busy and satisfying time for the competition sponsor and this can be attributed in the main to the quality and originality of the entries submitted.
I would like to thank everyone who submitted entries and to the many readers who took the time to download those works and forward their votes. It is greatly appreciated. At this time I would also like to invite all who enjoy gamebooks to consider entering the 2011 competition. If you are an author who wishes a competitive environment to promote your work then this is the competition for you.
May Glory and Renown follow all who have found success here.
Episode 7: Return to G15-275 is still in development and has been expanded to 450 references. I've nearly finished writing, but it's quite a complex book and so there will be lots of checking to be done. Hopefully it will be entertaining and so hard that no one will be able to finish it. I've had high hopes for previous titles in the series, but some of you are far too clever.
Don't go with the tribesman. You won't get a chance to go with him after the ship and you don't need to. To find out if the number on the paper is for the time travel machine you should try it ...but yes.
okay am I correct in saying I should find the ship first? or do I go with the tribesman with the metal thing? I also found a safe with a folder with that number 16964 is this for the timetravel portion later?
Go and get weapons and medical supplies. Make sure you leave with: A disposable blaster, a small silver disc, and a computer chip. Then leave the ship at once by yourself. Once on the panet, make sure you find something really interesting there.
END SPOILER
Regarding the end:
SPOILER
The battle at the end can see you facing any one of a number of monsters. When the Merchant price of Projudia arrives, he has with him a number of fellow shapeshifters. If you have found or done certain things throughout the course of the gamebook, then you have the option to kill off some of the shapeshifters. The number you kill off detrermines which monster you fight. if you are facing the death-O-saur, it means you have not found any of the items or performed any of the acts which will allow you kill off the enemy shape-shifters. These items/actions are: Antique genades (2 to be found, each eliminating 3 shapeshifters), getting married to a frog-snail-cat woman (eliminates 3) or meeting a doctor-death-bot (eliminates 6). You won't be able to collect all of these, and in fact one lies on an incorrect path. If you kill off all 12 on the Merchant Prince of Projudia's men, then you face him alone in battle. Another note about the ending is that any path that leads to you returning the Crate without this battle occuring is the wrong path.
hi, could someone please tell me what to do for the golden crate? every time i either get killed by the king, or its that huge dino thing am I supposed to take the pod myself or with the rats? and what items will I need at the start?
