Sir Ian Livingstone is attending Dragonmeet this weekend, on Saturday 29th November 2025, at London's Excel Centre in Docklands.
You will find Sir Ian at stand G29, where he will be selling copies of the latest special edition hardback of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, signed by himself and Steve Jackson, and Magic Realms: The Art of Fighting Fantasy.
If you are attending, do drop by stand G29 and say hello, pick up a new book, or get an old one signed by the gamebook master?
When it was first published back in 1983, Steve Jackson's Starship Traveller was notable for two reasons. (1) It was the Fighting Fantasy series' first foray into science fiction, and (2) it was the first FF gamebook not to have 400 sections.
There is currently a crowdfunding campaign running on Kickstarter to publish this revised edition in Danish, but it would seem likely that, if it funds, when Steve Jackson Games come to publish Starship Traveller in the US again, there could be an English language edition of the extended adventure as well.

We were deeply saddened to learn yesterday that Pete Knifton had died.
Pete was known to Fighting Fantasy fans for illustrating Keith Martin's Tower of Destruction, and Siege of Sardath, by Keith P. Phillips. And while he may not have contributed artwork to as many adventures as some artists, his style was unique and he had many fans among the FF faithful.
“Marc Gascoigne suggested I send in samples to Penguin,” Knifton explained when he was interviewed for YOU ARE THE HERO - A History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks. “Subsequently I drew two. The editors were lovely and very encouraging. I did the best work I could in the time available. I aimed to do one illo a day. Sometimes the pictures took longer. I was fond of the picture of the ice zombies.”
“FF had a great effect on my career in terms of kudos. They were very popular, and people were interested that I had been a contributor. You had to be spot on with the details in FF. They were respectable illustration jobs!”
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Pete's family and friends, and fans, at this very difficult time.
