Hi all,
Forgive the shameless plug, but myself, Richard Fox and Lauren Yason here at FoxYason have recently secured the rights to produce original audio dramas set in, and based around, the world of the Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks. This is is an exciting new venture for us so we're trying to spread the word. We have a great track record in audio working for amongst others, Big Finish Productions on a variety of classic and cult television audio dramas based on Doctor Who, The Avengers and Stargate.
You may have already seen that the first release is provisionally slated for release at Fighting Fest 2 Convention on September 2nd 2017 entitled: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain: A Hero's Quest.
This is an original audio drama, not the gamebook itself, set in the world of the Warlock of Firetop Mountain. This release effectively serves a prequel to the original Warlock of Firetop Mountain and features many of the characters, settings and scenarios in the book including the titular Warlock himself.
The script is written by David N. Smith and stars Tim Treloar (Doctor Who/Warhammer), Rachel Atkins and Toby Longworth (Star Wars/Hitchhikers/Warhammer/Doctor Who) as Zagor.
We'll be releasing more details very soon including our new website/download/platform plus a trailer/clips etc. If this release is successful then we will be looking to release a six-story box set of other FF gamebook dramatic adaptations in 2018.
The website will go live shortly. Until then I'll post information on here and hopefully we'll have the site up before you know it!
Cheers
Richard Fox
Director/Producer - FoxYason Music Productions
