Bring and Buy at Fighting Fantasy Fest 3

This year, for the first time, there will be a Bring and Buy stand at Fighting Fantasy Fest 3, which is being run to raise money for the UK Sepsis Trust, in memory of FF fan Neil Taylor.

Please note that the Bring and Buy is provided for individuals to sell their unwanted games and gamebooks. Exhibitors may not use the Bring and Buy as a way of disposing of stock.

Transform some of your old games and gamebooks into cash to buy new ones, or search our Warlock’s hoard of gaming goodness for that bargain you’ve been looking for. Board games, card games, role-playing books, miniatures, comics, and everything else associated with gaming – it’s all here.

ALL TRANSACTIONS AT THE BRING AND BUY ARE IN CASH ONLY. NO CREDIT CARDS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Please read carefully

1. Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 will take 10% commission on all goods sold on the Bring and Buy rounded up to the nearest 10p.
2. The seller is responsible for registering and collecting all submitted items.
3. Items cannot be withdrawn from sale before 12:00pm on the day.
4. All goods offered on the Bring and Buy are left at the sellers risk - Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 and the members operating the Bring and Buy accept no responsibility or liability for any goods stolen, lost or accidentally damaged.
5. Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 retains the right to not accept for sale any items it deems inappropriate. (This includes damaged items, poorly packaged items, items not suitable for a family audience, or old stock from exhibitors or other companies).
6. All profit from the Bring and Buy will be donated to The UK Sepsis Trust.

How does it work?

• When you arrive at Fighting Fantasy Fest 3, deliver any games or gamebooks you wish to sell to the Bring and Buy. There you will be given a raffle ticket for each item you are selling. The matching ticket will be attached to the item (using Blu Tack or a rubber band) with the price written on it. The price will also be recorded on a sheet by the person running the stand.
• The Bring and Buy stand will be accepting items for sale on Saturday 31st August from 9:00am to 12:00pm.
• When you are ready to leave Fighting Fantasy Fest 3, return to the Bring and Buy stand and either collect your items, if they have not sold, or hand over your raffle tickets and collect your earnings, minus the 10% commission rounded up to the nearest 10p, which will be donated to the UK Sepsis Trust.
• PLEASE NOTE THAT LAST COLLECTIONS FOR THE BRING AND BUY ARE at 4:00pm.
• If you have not collected your unsold games and gamebooks or money by 4:00pm you will have agreed to donate the money to the UK Sepsis Trust. Any uncollected items will be disposed of as the organisers see fit.

How well do you know Ian Livingstone's City of Thieves?

For those of you attending the Fighting Fantasy You Are The Beer-o Pub Quiz next week, we have some exciting news - Ian Livingstone himself will be joining us for the evening! Not only that, but as part of the night's proceedings he is going to run his own short quiz round, based on his classic gamebook, City of Thieves.

To enter this bonus round will require an additional £5 donation to our chosen charity, the UK Sepsis Trust.

However, if you win the round, you will not only receive a signed copy of Ian's new book, Assassins of Allansia, you will also receive a copy of the Brazilian edition of The Port of Peril, featuring new illustrations by Róger Goulart.

For those of you who haven't bought your tickets for the pub quiz yet, you had better hurry - there are only five left!

YOU could be the Hero of the Fighting Fantasy Pub Quiz!

Do you know your Aardwolf from your Elvin? Can you tell the difference beween Quimmel Bone and Zanbar Bone? Are you a regular visitor to the teeming plains of Allansia and beyond? If so, then you should sign up for the second Fighting Fantasy Pub Quiz today!

On the evening of Friday 30th August, teams of budding adventurers will be gathering at The Forester Inn, in Ealing, to test their knowledge of all things Fighting Fantasy. Lone adventurers are welcome too, and will no doubt soon find themselves joining forces with a barbarian or two, and maybe even an elf, or a mage, well-versed in arcane lore.

Our Quizmaster for the evening will be Fighting Fantasy fan Bryan Howarth, and as well as having fun, we will also be raising money for the UK Sepsis Trust, in memory of another FF fan, Neil Taylor.

If you would like to come, remember, you do need to buy a ticket in advance and numbers are limited. The last FF Pub Quiz was a riotous affair and this year's event only promises to be even better!

You don't even need to be going to Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 the next day to come along! Although how much more fun would it be to make a weekend of it and do both? The Forester even has rooms available that weekend.

So don't put it off any longer, grab your ticket for the Fighting Fantasy Pub Quiz right now!

This is what happened last time.

You don't want to miss out this year, do you?

Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 & You Are The Beer-o present... The Forester of Doom!

Tickets are now on sale for the second ever dedicated Fighting Fantasy pub quiz. The first was held two years ago, on the eve of Fighting Fantasy Fest 2, and, continuing the tradition, The Forester of Doom meet-up will take place the night before Fighting Fantasy Fest 3, on Friday 30th August 2019.

This year all profits from the event are going to be donated to the UK Sepsis Trust, in memory of FF fan Neil Taylor, who attended the very first Fighting Fantasy Fest back in 2014 and who tragically passed away as a result of sepsis on 5th January.
