I remember a two player one I had which had two books, one for each player. One of you played a wizard and one a warrior. It wasn't a fighting fantasy one though.
It actually worked quite well. What you did was both read the books at the same time and your characters had fairly seperate journies except at certain points you'd meet and have to discuss what to do. It was a weird experience to both be sitting there reading in silence and then all of a sudden both discussing something from the book.
I wish I could remember what it was called.

I loved the way of the tiger books, few months ago at work I walked past a colleagues desk and saw one of them. I picked it up and was leafing through it and commented that I remember it all and used to love the series. Then Mark, the guy who's desk it was, told me he wrote it!Er he said he liked the one done by the way of the tiger guys, so obviously it won't be way of the tiger. Talisman of Death was written by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson who wrote the Way of the Tiger series (and a few others).
Yeah, one player was Clovis, the other Lothar if I remember correctly.merman wrote:CLASH OF THE PRINCESmonkey010101 wrote:Hi everyone,

Really good fun.

I'm a huge fan of FF, since I was a kid playing them. It's one of the very few nostalgic things that I can go back to that completely delivers on all counts. I'm just as happy to spend a night playing these books as I was back then. I've been on a fairly casual quest for the past few years to gather a complete collection, not only of the books themselves but also the peripheral stuff I used to have like Warlock magazine. In fact I received a Tasks of Tantalon this very morning.
My favourites were always the earlier ones, because that was my introduction to FF, gamebooks and fantasy stuff on the whole. I remember sitting up all night with my desk lamp on, playing through Deathtrap Dungeon and mapping it (and yes, I did used to play them properly and in fact still do - I even print out adventure sheets to use
As a teenager I even used an Atari ST hyperlink database program to recreate one of the mini adventures from Warlock magazine. Took me bloody ages!
Quite an event this year as a few weeks ago the long-awaited 60th book was published, called Bloodbones. I've yet to sit down with it but the thrill of receiving a NEW FF book after all these years was just undeniable. FF is one of my proper nerdy guilty pleasures.
