New collector's hardback edition of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain coming soon!

Today marks 43 years since The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, was first published by Puffin Books.

The Eye of the Dragon comes to Advanced Fighting Fantasy

The latest release for Advanced Fighting Fantasy Second Edition is a reimagining of Sir Ian Livingstone's dungeon crawl Eye of the Dragon by Brett Schofield.

Based on both the classic gamebook and also the pre-FF adventure from Dicing with Dragons, this adventure by Sir Ian Livingstone offers the usual mix of traps, puzzles, monsters and strangeness you have come to expect from Fighting Fantasy.

The book also offers you two different ways to run this adventure; you can use the provided maps to run it as per the gamebook layout or, to to make it a little different, you can run it using the included Dungeon Designer to create a random dungeon, either ahead of time or even on the fly!

The Eye of the Dragon is available now from DriveThruRPG.
