Good luck ,you will need it,as it is the most difficult one and the longest to play No kidding! I spent much of yesterday evening dying. I'll go a few more rounds tonight. I'm also reading the complete fictions of H.P. Lovecraft at the moment, so it seems complementary. EDIT:Well, it certainly is tricky. Am I right in thinking one of the words required to finish the game can only be acquired with a failed test of luck? It was great fun, though. I'll try another. I'm not sure how taking provisions or potions works, and it would be handy to have initial SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK scores on screen somewhere at all times. Great site, though, and fun to play.

Hi everyone. .. I'm Leon and my username is coppertop71. I've only just joined this site and it looks great by the way! I was a big fan of the fighting fantasy series back in the 1980's and have recently started reliving my childhood by getting back into them again. . My favourite book i think is house of hell but i like most of them although I'm not as fond of the science fiction themed ones

I thought so. It was only by accident that I returned to that location, and was unlucky, or I'd never had known there was anything there. Brave move to make a failed luck test essential. Highlights just how shaky a concept (in my opinion) the Luck score is. It's a difficult adventure, but I never got bored playing it. Very House of Hell inspired. With a little of Vault of the Vampire thrown in.

Greetings all, another new member. I was heavily into FF from the age of 8 'till.. well, I must have been about 18 when the original Puffin series ended and I was still buying and reading them ritually even then.
My first FF was Talisman of Death. I place this as being 1986, although I'm not entirely sure. I bought House of Hell & Demons of the Deep shortly after.
Favourite gamebook? If I'm allowed to pick Sorcery! as a single choice I'd go with that. From the FF series it's hard to pick just one. House of Hell was one of my first and had a tremendous impact on me. I was also very much a Way of the Tiger fan at around the same time. I got in to Lone Wolf a little later in my teens.
I recently read 'You are the Hero!', which rekindled many memories and prompted me to play a few FFs recently - Forest of Doom & Island of the Lizard King (on the excellent tin man apps).
Not sure how active this place is, but it seems to have a fair from recent posts. Looking forward to contributing.

Hi all, I'm a long time FF fan in his mid-thirties. Nostalgia did its thing and I've been collecting and re-reading for the past year or so. The artwork was one of the main things that attracted me to the books as a kid - both the inked illustrations and the covers and I feel inspired and obliged to give something back. I've been thinking of doing a small series of tribute paintings - here's a quick WIP of a Sightmaster guard: My tumblr blog has some more finished artwork to give you an idea of my painting style and how this might end up: rvnant.tumblr.com/Looking forward to hanging around here
