How about we each list our favorite thing about our 10 least favorite FF Books and we can list 1's made by Fans?. Here's mine and they aren't listed in order. Also I've corrected 2 mistakes. The 1st is that the title of the 1st book is Deadline to Destruction not Deadline to Disaster and The 2nd is that in the bit on Blood of The Zombies by mistake I said that I've always been a big fan of Horror Stories but I meant to say that at the time I was a very big fan of Horror Stories
The Fan Made Deadline To Destruction -because its the only fan-made Book that I ever managed to beat on my 1st attempt without cheating, using a guide or asking someone I knew
Caverns of The Snow Witch -because the main villain is 1 of the most beautiful, in my opinion, main villains in the Series
Sorcery Book 1 -cos its the only 1 of The Sorcery Books that I beat on my 1st attempt without cheating, using a guide or asking someone I knew
Starship Traveller -cos at the time that I first read it I was A Huge Fan of Star Trek The Next Generation
Island of The Undead -because it was the only Book in the series that had A Evil Wizard in it that I could truly say that I felt sorry for
Phantoms of Fear -getting to play A Elven Warrior-Wizard
Blood of The Zombies -at the time I was a very big fan of Horror Stories
Revenge of The Vampire -only Fighting Fantasy Gamebook that I ever converted to be used in 1st edition Warhammer Roleplay
Chasms of Malice -how much I like the fact that despite the fact that going by what the regent says your characters family has been their homelands rightful rulers for at least 2 to 3 centuries your character doesn't show any bitterness about it, or at least they don't during the book
Deathmoor -the fact that the maths puzzle that you need to solve in order to win is the only puzzle, which means all puzzles and not just maths puzzles, in the series that I solved on my 1st attempt without help |

Sky Lord - A villain with a more understandable motivation than most (and a very warped sense of humour, judging by the pineapple stunt).
Legend of Zagor - Er, the board game looks pretty cool.
Eye of the Dragon - It led the way for other, better new books.
Blood of the Zombies - Some of the illustrations are very good.
Gates of Death - The author's name is on the cover even though he's not Steve or Ian.
I'll have to think about the other 5.

Blood of the Zombies, Eye of the Dragon - excellent artwork
Chasms of Malice - I like the subterranean lore
Sky Lord - very good punchy cover
Gates of Death - overall plot is actually pretty good
Starship Traveller - the idea of having a crew is good
Magehunter - interesting premise
Rings of Kether, Star Strider - I cannot remember anything about them after reading
Deathmoor - first third of the book is difficult but well written

Gates of Death - it is quite creative in its approach to FF mechanics
Blood of the Zombies - it's got a sense of fun
Starship Traveller - some great concepts for some of the planets
Chasms of Malice - you have a cat sidekick!
Seas of Blood - some amusing incidental details
Robot Commando - allows for a lot of exploration
Sky Lord - genuinely very funny in places
Masks of Mayhem - the whole Fallow Dale sequence is great
Night Dragon - it's got a really epic feel
Legend of Zagor - four characters to experiment with

Night Dragon is one of your least favourites? Plenty of other real stinkers out there. Yep. I just find it very tedious. But I don't really hate any of the books. I would actually rate a few on your list quite highly! |
