Starship Traveller was recently published in Danish, by Faraos Cigarer, with a new translation by Morten Gottschalck.
However, Morten didn't just translate the Steve Jackson-penned adventure - he also added 60 sections to the adventure to take the total count up to 400. Here's Morten to tell you more about it...

Incredibly, it is over 18 months since Sir Ian Livingstone's latest Fighting Fantasy gamebook was launched at Fighting Fantasy Fest 5.
The Dungeon on Blood Island took adventurers back to Lard Carnuss' private, offshore, holiday hangout and sent them into a labyrinth filled with savage creatures and deadly traps.
The prize on offer was the fabled Golden Orb of Fang, if only the brave adventurer who found it could then also escape from the dungeon alive.
Since then, The Dungeon on Blood Island has been published in Danish and Hungarian, by Faraos Cigarer and Chameleon Comix respectively.
So, speakers of which language will be given the dubious pleasure of exploring The Dungeon on Blood Island next?
Sir Ian Livingstone is attending two European events this week.
On Friday, Sir Ian will be travelling to Denmark for the second event, the Bogforum book fair in Copenhagen. The new Danish editions of the Fighting Fantasy series are being launched at the event and Sir Ian will be undertaking a signing on Friday 3 November, from 5:00-6:00pm.
He will be signing again on Saturday 4 November, from 11:00am-12:00pm. and from 1:30-2:30pm. Then on Sunday 5 November, from 12:00-12:45pm, Sir Ian will take part in panel entitled Sword & Sorcery and Nostalgia, before finishing with one more signing session from 1:00-2:00pm.
So if you happen to be at either the Lucca Comics and Games fair, or Bogforum, now you know what to look out for.
Available now from Geny-G Ltd is the Bulgarian edition of Steve Jackson's seminal horror gamebook House of Hell.

Coming soon from Faraos Cigarer are another two titles in the Danish translations of Fighting Fantasy, or Sværd & Trolddom, as the series is called in Denmark.
Can you guess which classic Ian Livingstone titles these two are?
Now is a great time for collectors of overseas editions of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, and Danish speakers for that matter.
Fighting Fantasy may be almost 40 years old - it is the 40th anniversary next year! - but there are still new translations being published, as well as new titles, of course.
Two of those new titles - Ian Livingstone's The Port of Peril and Charlie Higson's The Gates of Death - feature among Faraos Cigarer's first tranche of releases for Sværd & Trolddom, or 'Swords & Sorcery', as Fighting Fantasy is known in Denmark.
The other two titles are the original Fighting Fantasy gamebook, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, and the seminal City of Thieves.
