Starship Traveller - Turn to 400!

When it was first published back in 1983, Steve Jackson's Starship Traveller was notable for two reasons. (1) It was the Fighting Fantasy series' first foray into science fiction, and (2) it was the first FF gamebook not to have 400 sections.

But now, Danish gamebook author Morten Gottschalck has extended the adventure, with the full permission and approval of Steve Jackson and the FF team, so that it has 400 sections.

There is currently a crowdfunding campaign running on Kickstarter to publish this revised edition in  Danish, but it would seem likely that, if it funds, when Steve Jackson Games come to publish Starship Traveller in the US again, there could be an English language edition of the extended adventure as well.

Fighting Fantasy - Solo Adventure Gamebooks - Set 2

The Steve Jackson Games' Kickstarter for the second set of the new US editions of the Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks is now live!


The Fighting Fantasy series features epic fantasy adventures in which YOU are the Hero! In each book, your character’s life depends a bit on luck... but mostly on the decisions YOU make. Will you triumph... or meet some terrible fate?

Steve Jackson Games – helmed by the American game designer Steve Jackson (no relation) – has continued to work closely with Sir Ian Livingstone to deliver a spellbinding Fighting Fantasy experience for fans in the United States. Sir Ian sums up the excitement we all share as we work together across the pond:



It is worth noting that the new Steve Jackson Games' editions of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks are more than just reprints - they are in an updated reader-friendly format, but still feature the original artwork*, and are available in a smart slipcase featuring Qatlas's map of Caverns of the Snow Witch, which is included within the set. The other titles are Creature of Havoc, House of Hell, Scorpion Swamp**, and Island of the Lizard King.



So don't delay and pledge your support today!

For those who may be nostalgic for the original U.S. printing of House of Hell, there is the House of Hades Variant Edition!

* Where possible.

** Featuring new cover art and internal illustrations by Tazio Bettin.
