Fantasy Rising - Funding now on Kickstarter!

Funding now on Kickstarter is Fantasy Rising, a sweeping, feature-length documentary which charts Fantasy’s epic rise – from myth and folklore to Tolkien, Dungeons & Dragons, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Romantasy and beyond – through exclusive interviews with some of the genre’s key creators, including Fighting Fantasy's own knight of the realm, Sir Ian Livingstone.

Not only does Sir Ian appear in the film, it also has a whole section devoted to Fighting Fantasy, placing it within the wider context of the fantasy genre's evolution.

Exclusive Kickstarter rewards for backers include:

• Two-disc Blu-ray edition with original artwork by acclaimed fantasy artist Wayne Reynolds.
• Exclusive hardback edition of George MacDonald’s classic novel Phantastes, featuring new artwork by Joe Wilson and an introduction by Tolkien scholar Brian Sibley.
• Signed art prints from celebrated authors and illustrators, including Wayne Reynolds and Sir Ian Livingstone.

The Kickstarter campaign runs until 20th September 2025 so, don't delay and check it out today!

SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK

If you missed the BBC Radio 4 documentary about interactive fiction - called SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK - that was inspired by the Fighting Fantasy series, then you'll be pleased to hear that you can still listen to it by following this link.

You can also play SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK as if it were an interactive fiction gamebook here, and reveal some sound byte secrets that don't appear in the broadcast documentary.
