Fighting Fantasy game books

[Buleste]

I think i had the first 25 books of the FF series then i went into Pen and Paper RPG's and Warhammer etc. Still play every now and again when i'm not playing Ocarina Of Time on my GC.

I miss playing paper and dice RPGs, and Warhammer even more so. I used to love playing table top war games. Sadly there are now none of the friends left that played.

Same here. I try looking for gaming clubs but i'm in my thirties and when you turn up at these clubs and it's a lot of kid's you feel very self consious.

[Harrison]

Why? You could use the power of your age to your advantage by reducing the common rule arguments that always happen mid battle to the simple comment "I'm older and have more experience, so what I say goes!". That way you should easily win as you can "adjust" the rules to suit.

I can imagine you'd be tempted to cheat every now and then.


"You encounter a bloodthirsty forest troll. Roll the dice to determine the outcome of the fight. If you roll 6, 5, 4, or 3, you may proceed to page 203, section III. If you roll 2 or 1, tough luck, buddy. Game over."


"Right. Here goes."

*rolls 1*

"Damn."

*rolls 2*

"WTF."

*rolls 1*

"Hell no, I'm not gonna start over from the beginning."

*rolls 1*

"Argh."

*rolls 2*

"$%^$^%$#!"

*rolls 2*

"These dice are cursed, man. Cursed, I tell you."

*rolls 5*

"Finally."

Of course, the experience of the battle is lost with the flick of the dice.

All of you who own or read these books, I hate your guts.

I was a big fan too but in french, it was called "les livres dont vous êtes le héro", it was really great, i've found this picture with all the covers:

It was where all the roleplaying adventure started for me: Chtulhu, AD&D, the black eye...

Man i wish i had kept my books. Maybe i could try the english version, i've seen that you can still buy them... If i had to start with one of the FF collection, which one would you advise?

Btw, i have started to write a scenario for Vampire which is especially made to be played with only 2 persons.
I have moved to another city 5 years ago, most of the people here talk another language than i do (belgium dual language, argh) and nobody that i know play rpgs. Therefor, I had to find a way to go on playing paper RPG with only my wife... If someone is in the same situation, i can email what i have already written... It's in english...

I have many GB of RPG stuff. Let me know what you would like and if i haven't got it i can probably get it. May even be able to get some french versions.

Thanks for the offer but i already have a huge stock of RPG stuff, the only thing i miss are my "livres dont vous êtes le héro", they have been destroyed in the basement flooding at my parent's place several years ago... So i was more thinking about buying one or two GB from here. Any good one i should start with?

I us ed to have the first 30 or so but it's been a while. If i remember rightly Freeway Fighter was good. Why not go here for some free gamebooks to download. No FF but plenty of others including The Way of the Tiger series (God i loved that game).

Usually men with no girl experience are prone to these books. Holt is a sinner. He should go down with the Kursk.

Oh wait.

He has.

Of d20 and d6 rolls while testing your SKILL it is imperative to test your LUCK and knock off from the initial. Buy them *used* and the authors never benefit, especially Jon Green.
