Rebel Planet: The Graphic Novel - launching on Kickstarter soon!

Rebel Planet has to be one of the most popular science fiction titles in the Fighting Fantasy range. Published in 1985, it was written by Robin Waterfield (who also wrote Masks of Mayhem, Phantoms of Fear, and Deathmoor) and illustrated by Gary Mayes.

As revealed during last year's 12 Fighting Fantasy Days of Christmas, Robin Waterfield and series co-creator Ian Livingstone have given permission for the classic FF gamebook to be turned into a graphic novel.

Written by long-time Fighting Fantasy fan and gamebook author Mark Lain, the graphic novel is being drawn by original Rebel Planet artist Gary Mayes!

Mark is raising the finance required to produce the book via crowdfunding, and the Kickstarter launches at 8:00pm on Friday 1st October 2021.

Rewards include both soft- and hardback editions of the graphic novel, signed bookplates, Arcadian propaganda badges, and T-shirts. You can even pledge to have the book dedicated to YOU!

Steve Jackson interview for International Gamebook Day 2021

As part of the International Gamebook Day celebrations last weekend, the co-creator of the Fighting Fantasy series, and co-founder of Games Workshop, Steve Jackson himself was interviewed by Olly Mc of The Storymaster's Tales.

In case you missed it at the time, or you do not use Facebook, you can watch it again now below.

If you were unaware of International Gamebook Day until now, make sure you sign up to next year's event - which will be held on the 40th anniversary of the publication of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain - here.

Creature of Havoc comes to Fighting Fantasy Classics

The necromancer Zharradan Marr is close to stealing the secrets of Elven magic and none can stop him. YOU are the Creature of Havoc, a monstrous beast with a taste for fighting. Ruled only by hunger and rage, you have no knowledge of your past or destiny. Will you stop Marr or succumb to his evil?

Steve Jackson's seminal Fighting Fantasy gamebook Creature of Havoc has joined the other titles on the Fighting Fantasy Classics shelf on Steam, courtesy of Tin Man Games.

Featuring Alan Langford's original illustrations, this is a faithful adaptation of what, for many, is the ultimate gamebook.

An appointment with Zharradan Marr and his minions awaits you! Dare you face the mighty Darramouss or ride the Galleykeep, a flying ship of great renown?

“This book has what must be one of the densest and most satisfying plots of any FF, which, through constant changes of location, ongoing aims, and self-awareness, remains compelling and pretty intense throughout.” - Mathus Dire

Any die-hard Fighting Fantasy fan will tell you that this gamebook is brutal, but brilliant. Steve Jackson really found his stride with Creature of Havoc, the 24th book in the original Puffin paperback run. It is also one of the longest gamebooks in the series and includes a detailed background into the goings-on in Trolltooth Pass. Enjoy the pain, revel in becoming the beast, and seek out the truth! Grab it NOW!

If you're new to Fighting Fantasy Classics, now is a great time to try them out, with these two great bundle deals available now!
