Five roleplaying adventures by Sir Ian Livingstone - including classic titles and new adventures never seen before in the United States - will make up the third set of FF gamebooks to be published by Steve Jackson Games, which will be coming to Kickstarter soon.
A beloved title makes its return to print in the epic Trial of Champions! A famous adventure finally gets an American release with the terrifying Crypt of the Sorcerer! And three recent Livingstone masterpieces that are new to American shores will be included in the set - The Dungeon on Blood Island, Assassins of Allansia, and Shadow of the Giants.
As well as the individual volumes and the stunning slipcase edition for Set 3, this campaign will also give you the chance to complete your collection with Slipcase Set 1 and Slipcase Set 2.

One week ago, Fighting Fantasy Fest 6 took over the University of West London in Ealing.
A host of guests, exhibitors, traders, and adventurers spent the day celebrating all things Fighting Fantasy and gamebook-related.
Our Guests of Honour were FF co-creator and author Sir Ian Livingstone and artist Karl Kopinski, who were joined on the day by special guest editors Gerladine Cooke and Philippa Dickinson.

The day was chock full of talks and panels, and we were delighted that so many creators - artists Malcolm Barter, Alan Langford, Tony Hough, and Rob Ball, as well as authors Marc Gascoigne, Peter Darvill-Evans, and Jonathan Green - overseas publishers and FF licensees were able to join us too.

A huge thank you must go to Lord Azzur's City Guard - James, Stuart, Pete, Sally, Simon, Lyndsey, Julian, Scott, Jake, Mattie, and Ariana - who made sure everything ran smoothly, but the biggest thank you is reserved for all the adventuerers - both young and old - who attended. But a special mention should go to Hamad and Layla who were attending FFF6 on the second day of their honeymoon!

The night before FFF6, the now traditional charity You Are The Beer-o Pub Puiz took place at The Forester in West Ealing, which raised an astonishing £1,200 for Guide Dogs UK in memory of FF artists Pete Knifton, who passed away last year.
The winning team!
