As being horribly bullied at many different school's, I took great comfort in reading fantasy game books by yourself and others. There was one I simply couldn't finish and for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it??? Anyway thank you for helping me even though you never knew it 👍👍

Steve was always my favourite author in the range as he was always inventive and original, and didn't want to do the same thing twice. His imagination really expanded the scope and ambition, not least with Sorcery!

I grew up playing fighting fantasy and lone wolf books. It was still a big thing even during 90s. They were true childhood heroes, rip joe dever

He is a great pioneer but I disagree in a couple of things:- I left Creature of havoc for being almost impossible to complete, so I dislike the book. Secondly, he speaks so fast from the people who left Games-workshop to publish his own gamebooks, of course he refers Joe Dever but he did not say anything about the unfair economical conditions imposed to members like Dever. I really like Steve Jackson´s work anyway.

This was great. So wonderful to hear from Steve Jackson about the creation of Fighting Fantasy and D&D in London in the early ‘80s. R.I.P Albie Fiore.

I remember when I was a kid introducing my next door neighbour's son to these books and his mum thanking me for getting him to read lol.

Also if Steve likes Century: Spice Road, tell him to look at Century: Eastern Wonders... and you can combine both games into a super mega Spice game!

When moving house during the late 80's - from village to town - that's when I truly discovered the FF series. My very first gamebook in the series was actually one of the hardest: Creature of Havoc (FF#24). I only managed to complete it around 2000 when consulting a solution you could find online. But I did all the groundwork of painstakingly decoding the coded text. Looking forward to reading Secrets of Salamonis; it's amazing how long FF has been going, admittedly with a few stops and starts, and that Steve is finally doing another gamebook for the Scholastic series. It's been too long in coming!

Most modern boardgamers and DnD fans I know usually played Fighting Fantasy books back in the 80s. Not sure if there is a FF presence at any of the boardgames conventions but I'm sure they would get a good reception 👍 Great interview👍😎
