The classic Fighting Fantasy solo adventure books have returned in a new edition now live on Kickstarter:
In 2024, Steve Jackson Games announced an historic publishing collaboration with Games Workshop co-founders and Fighting Fantasy co-creators Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson to bring Fighting Fantasy back to the United States. Now the first five books in this classic series are available via a Kickstarter campaign that gives fans early access to these exciting solo game books.
Fighting Fantasy is a series of adventures in which players create a character and take part in an epic adventure. Along the way, their decisions – and dice rolls – will determine the outcome of the story. The Fighting Fantasy Kickstarter campaign includes the following titles:
- The Warlock of Firetop Mountain by Steve Jackson (UK) and Ian Livingstone
- Deathtrap Dungeon by Ian Livingstone
- City of Thieves by Ian Livingstone
- The Citadel of Chaos by Steve Jackson (UK)
- The Forest of Doom by Ian Livingstone
…
Pledge levels include a $15 option for The Warlock of Firetop Mountain and a $60 option for all five books in the set. A retailer pledge level is also available. Stretch goals will be announced at a later date.
All five titles will be available in stores in the summer of 2025. An additional five volumes are slated for release in fall.
I actually still have a copy of “The Warlock of Firetop Mountain” that came as a preorder bonus for the game for the DS. The books was miles better, ironically.
