Advanced Fighting Fantasy Adventures iiiin spaaaace!

Fans of Arion Games' Advanced Fighting Fantasy RPG and science fiction adventures will be delighted to learn that the company have launched a Kickstarter to fund production of Stellar Adventures, the SF version of the AFF rules.

Due for publication later this year, this version will support all kinds of SF, from large Starships exploring unknown space, to small traders movings from spaceport to spaceport, to marines investigating ruined alien spacecraft, and even cyberpunk.

Backers of the Kickstarter will also be invited into the playtest area of the Arion Games forums at the end of the campaign to make sure that the game is as good as it can be!

The book will also be available through the Arion Games webstore in due course, but to get in early, visit the Kickstarter project page here and pledge your support today!


Arion Games are also pleased to announce that they are now able to sell PDFs of the Advanced Fighting Fantasy (Second Edition) core book. This PDF is available directly from RPGNow.

This development also means that from now on Arion Games can provide a free copy of the PDF whenever a customer buys a print copy of the book from they webstore. So there has never been a better time to get into the game if you are not already a fan.

SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK

If you missed the BBC Radio 4 documentary about interactive fiction - called SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK - that was inspired by the Fighting Fantasy series, then you'll be pleased to hear that you can still listen to it by following this link.

You can also play SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK as if it were an interactive fiction gamebook here, and reveal some sound byte secrets that don't appear in the broadcast documentary.

The Beta Test of Firetop Mountain

Tin Man Games' brand-new adaptation of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's classic The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (that was successfully funded via Kickstarter last year) is set to enter the Beta testing phase this summer (that is if you live in the northern hemisphere, or the teeming plains of Allansia, otherwise it's this winter) and will appear on Steam on 26th August 2016. The game will also release on iOS and Android platforms later this year.
