The Steve Jackson Games' Kickstarter for the new US editions of the Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks is now live!
Combining gripping narratives with dice rolls and other tabletop RPG mechanics, Fighting Fantasy captivated readers, becoming a worldwide hit. Now this multi-million-selling book series returns to print in the United States for the first time in over two decades.
Steve Jackson Games – helmed by the American game designer Steve Jackson (no relation) – is working closely with Sir Ian Livingstone to deliver an amazing Fighting Fantasy experience to the United States.
Sir Ian’s thoughts on this collaborative effort show the enthusiasm both sides of the pond have for this project:
The Fighting Fantasy books have delighted fans for decades. What makes these versions special?
- The original art! When possible, SJ Games are using the original black-and-white artwork for the interiors – most of which hasn’t been available in over a decade!
- Designed for readability! The original Fighting Fantasy books were smaller mass-market paperbacks. They were perfect to sneak into your lunch bag at school, but these new versions are designed to make leaping into a hero’s life easier than ever, with larger print and enhanced formatting that makes reading a joy.
- Available in the States! No longer do you need to order overseas or via online auction sites.
- Designed as a set! These editions will look great on your shelf, with a unified design, numbered spines, and evocative art. If you’re a longtime fan, these are the versions you wish you had when you were younger! And if you’re new to Fighting Fantasy excitement, these books will be a gateway to worlds beyond imagination.
Rewards include the five-book set (cheaper than the books will cost when they come to retail), and a special retailer pledge.
