Ian Livingstone's Board Games in 100 Moves

Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 will see not only the release of the new Scholastic editions of Caverns of the Snow Witch and Khare - Cityport of Traps, it was also see the release of two news books by Ian Livingstone. The first of these is a brand-new Fighting Fantasy gamebook, while the second is Board Games in 100 Moves, written in collaboration with James Wallis.


Board Games in 100 Moves

Journey through 8,000 years of history, from Ancient Egyptian Senet and Indian Snakes and Ladders, right up to role-play, fantasy and hybrid games of the present day.

Discover surprising stories behind board games you know and love to play, including: Buddha's banned games, stolen patents, boards smuggled into prison and Dungeons & Dragons hysteria.


If you are attending the UK Games Expo this weekend, you can pick up a Board Games in 100 Moves postcard from Stand 2-640, from Fighting Fantasy author and historian Jonathan Green, who will be there from Friday 31st May to Sunday 2nd June, and may even have some of the last hardbacks of YOU ARE THE HERO Parts 1 and 2 for sale.

YOU could be the Hero of the Fighting Fantasy Pub Quiz!

Do you know your Aardwolf from your Elvin? Can you tell the difference beween Quimmel Bone and Zanbar Bone? Are you a regular visitor to the teeming plains of Allansia and beyond? If so, then you should sign up for the second Fighting Fantasy Pub Quiz today!

On the evening of Friday 30th August, teams of budding adventurers will be gathering at The Forester Inn, in Ealing, to test their knowledge of all things Fighting Fantasy. Lone adventurers are welcome too, and will no doubt soon find themselves joining forces with a barbarian or two, and maybe even an elf, or a mage, well-versed in arcane lore.

Our Quizmaster for the evening will be Fighting Fantasy fan Bryan Howarth, and as well as having fun, we will also be raising money for the UK Sepsis Trust, in memory of another FF fan, Neil Taylor.

If you would like to come, remember, you do need to buy a ticket in advance and numbers are limited. The last FF Pub Quiz was a riotous affair and this year's event only promises to be even better!

You don't even need to be going to Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 the next day to come along! Although how much more fun would it be to make a weekend of it and do both? The Forester even has rooms available that weekend.

So don't put it off any longer, grab your ticket for the Fighting Fantasy Pub Quiz right now!

This is what happened last time.

You don't want to miss out this year, do you?

100 Days To Go!

100 days from today, you could be enjoying all of this!

Tickets are limited, so make sure you grab yours today!

YOU are the Hero, at Fighting Fantasy Fest 3!

Are you ready to unleash your inner Elf? Or maybe you have an Orc lurking somewhere deep inside you, desperate to get out. If so, then make sure you come along to Fighting Fantasy Fest 3, dressed in your finest Fighting Fantasy cosplay, since The World of Legend will be returning to the event this year, ready to capture your characterful creations for posterity.

Those who attended FFF1 may remember the Goblin patrolling the queue before the event opened, and some of you may even have lived out your fantasy for a day, choosing the way of the Warrior or the way of the Warlock.

As you can see, the finished photographic portraits were stunning, to say the least.

The World of Legend will not only have their iconograph with them, they will also be bringing the House of Hell LIVE theatrical experience to Fighting Fantasy Fest for the first time. So if you're a fan of Steve Jackson's seminal horror-themed gamebook, make sure you buy your ticket for the show today. Just follow this link, and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
