Fighting Fantasy	comment	A series of gamebooks targeted at children and teenagers, responsible for popularising the concept in the United Kingdom. The majority of the 50+ books were set in a generic fantasy land called Titan, which later got its own tabletop RPG spin-off. Originally published by Puffin throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the series went out of print in 1995, having amassed 59 gamebooks, several spin-off series (including a range of non-interactive novels) and many other related books, boardgames and video games.According to the book Dice Men, while The Warlock of Firetop Mountain was first published in 1982, the idea behind Fighting Fantasy got its start in 1979 when a Penguin Books editor, Geraldine Cooke, approached Ian Livingstone, the co-owner of Games Workshop. Her best friend told her about the Dungeons & Dragons craze happening in the UK at the time. Geraldine was fascinated by the concept and asked if he could write a book about RPGs. Ian replied that it would probably be better to make a book that gave readers the RPG experience and Geraldine agreed. Initially Penguin Books thought the idea was failure, so Geraldine took the proposal to its kids-book-wing Puffin who took the gamble. After initial slow sales, the book eventually became a best-seller for Puffin, leading to demand for follow-up books and eventually an entire line.Wizard Books revived it in 2002, republishing some of the original books with new covers (and later some new adventures, including the infamous "lost" book Bloodbones which had been intended for release as part of the Puffin range). Following a brief tail-off, they relaunched their relaunch in 2009 with another range of new covers and more new adventures. The last new print adventure was released in 2012 to mark the 30th anniversary, although electronic versions of some of the books are currently being released by Tin Man Games for Steam, iOS and Android — many of these are expanded versions of the original books with new features. In 2017, the series was relaunched yet again for its 35th anniversary with more reissues and new adventures, this time being published by Scholastic.The game mechanics are like a simplified single-player version of Dungeons & Dragons. Aside from the usual Dungeons and Dragons-style themes, there are adventures set in sci-fi universes, a Mad Max rip-off, a Star Trek pastiche, a haunted house horror, a superhero scenario, and... Sky Lord, a book which was almost certainly written under the influence of psychedelic drugs and Dadaist thinking.The series has the standard second-person narrative style. Outcomes are influenced by three randomly determined statistics: Skill, Stamina, and Luck. A lot of the books introduced a fourth statistic, such as Faith or Honour, a selection of special skills, or statistics for your vehicle.As you will see on the Trope list below, the franchise has amassed quite a bit of mockery over its run, yet it remains fondly remembered and has an unusually devoted fanbase. This best example would be the web-based fan magazine Fighting Fantazine.The books were written or presented by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson note a different Steve than the Steve who runs Steve Jackson Games, though the latter has written a few books, see below. The series has had several Spin-Off series, most notable being Sorcery!, The Riddling Reaver (a multi-player gamebook available for up to 4 participants — a Game Master and 3 or more adventurers), and a game on the Nintendo DS. In 2017, Nomad Games made Fighting Fantasy Legends and a year later it came up with Fighting Fantasy Legends Portal for the PC and IOS. Meanwhile since 2011, Arion Games has been reprinting and expanding on Advanced Fighting Fantasy (which now has Stellar Adventures as a sci-fi spin-off). Most of Jackson and Livingstone's books are available electronically on Steam in the Fighting Fantasy Classics content pack.Not to be confused with the Japanese name of Data East's fantasy arcade game Hippodrome. Definitely not meant to be confused with Final Fantasy, whose original name was Fighting Fantasy before Squaresoft found out the name was already trademarked.

Fighting Fantasy / int_10dafb12	type	Flaming Sword
Fighting Fantasy / int_10dafb12	comment	Many of the series' main villains are vulnerable to their own weapons, which you must obtain to even complete the game. Including Razaak's sword in Crypt of the Sorcerer, the Lizard King's Fire Sword in Island of the Lizard King, the Nightstar from Vault of the Vampire which deals massive damage to Count Heydrich, among others.

Fighting Fantasy / int_12008c0e	comment	Treants: The world of Titan also features Tree Men, which are the typical gardeners of the forest and fiercely protective of their trees. They are almost indistinguishable from real trees, their mouth and small eyes being typically hidden in their thick, cracked bark. So much that, although elves knew of their existence for a long time, humans have only recently discovered them. Of note is that the SKILL and STAMINA scores given are for their two main attack branches; they are otherwise way too though to be killed by a single adventurer, but cutting both branches will force them to retreat, severely injured.

Fighting Fantasy / int_14184bc7	comment	Most of the books require you to collect several MacGuffins (the keys in The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, the hammer parts in The Forest of Doom). There is usually little to no indication of where they are, and getting one often requires success in two or three previous encounters, with no indication at the time that those are important. If you miss one, you have to start over again, as there is no way to backtrack. Players were intended to play the book many times and map the whole thing, as a way to give the books Fake Longevity.

Fighting Fantasy / int_1527d90d	comment	Early Game Hell: The Nomad Games Fighting Fantasy games — the first one is a mash-up City of Thieves + The Warlock of Firetop Mountain + Citadel of Chaos while the 2nd game is the Deathtrap Dungeon trilogy. In both games, you have no provisions to recover your health and Skill in combat determines how much potential damage an enemy does in a hit rather than if it can land an attack. In the books, an adventurer with 11 or 12 Skill is invincible against mooks, but in the iOS games even a lowly goblin can kill a talented adventurer in single combat. Luckily enemies and Skill/Luck tests give experience which improves your stats.

Fighting Fantasy / int_17d5e071	type	Weapon of X-Slaying
Fighting Fantasy / int_17d5e071	comment	Weapon of X-Slaying: In most books in which you set out to defeat a specific evil (Chaos Warriors, Undead, Demons, and the like), there is one to be found and make battles much easier. It is very often the only way to stand a chance against the Final Boss. Overlaps with Infinity +1 Sword, as they always give you a hefty power boost. House of Hell: Hell Demons can only be harmed by the powerful Kris dagger, which you must obtain before the final confrontation. Beneath Nightmare Castle: The Trident of Skarlos was made to destroy the undead and abominations created through sorcery. Night Dragon: You must recover a sword made specifically to slay the Night Dragon, who's actually paralyzed with fear in front of the weapon, allowing you to automatically win the first round of combat. Many of the series' main villains are vulnerable to their own weapons, which you must obtain to even complete the game. Including Razaak's sword in Crypt of the Sorcerer, the Lizard King's Fire Sword in Island of the Lizard King, the Nightstar from Vault of the Vampire which deals massive damage to Count Heydrich, among others. Stormslayer is a little different in this regard: the magic sword you start with gives you bonuses against dragons, but not the elementals that make up the majority of the monsters you fight. It's magical mainly to skip over the question of how you can hurt such monsters. Regardless there are a few dragons to fight in the book, so the bonus is still applicable. Subverted with The Spear of Doom from Legend of the Shadow Warriors. You use it NOT to kill Voivod, the main villain, but to resurrect him back to human form. Killing Voivod in battle will only have him resurrecting immediately and killing you on the spot.

That's because those items only granted a Skill point but not to Initial Skill. That meant they only served to prevent skill loss if your character was crippled somehow. Magic swords sometimes still had some use as they could hurt enemies that were immune to normal weapons, but monsters of this type didn't show up in the earliest books. Later books made sure to have new equipment be useful for any adventurer.

One aspect where they do stand out are their ability to eat just about anything (including wood, rocks, dirt and metal) and their bizarre funeral rites, where each mourner takes a bite out of the dearly departed's corpse. Your character participating in the rite can earn you their friendship in Armies of Death, both due to the respect you're showing their culture and the sheer balls you show in coming out of nowhere and doing it without asking.

Fighting Fantasy / int_1bd4c0bf	comment	Unwinnable by Design: In more than a few books if you fail to pick up the right item, 50 pages later you find that you're completely screwed. Caverns of the Snow Witch: if you roll too low for your initial statistics, half-way through the book, you die. Steve Jackson is a big fan of using this as cruelly as possible; House of Hell and Creature of Havoc both contain multiple areas with large decision trees where every path leads to death. Two battles in Creature of Havoc are unwinnable, as they will simply restart every time you win (by means of trapping you in an infinite loop of the same three or four sections), until you run out of Stamina. One is a fight against a constantly respawning number of Chaos Warriors, the other is against the undead Quimmel Bone, who will simply reform every time you win. Crypt of the Sorcerer is notorious in this regard; you must follow a very specific path and pick up the right items or information, or you will die. Thing is, it usually won't happen immediately, but some 50 paragraphs later... Howl of the Werewolf is generally quite lenient about this (if you don't collect all the Plot Coupons it's still possible to win the game, just a bit trickier), with one exception: if you attempt the vampire hunting sidequest and fail to kill its Optional Boss properly, then you lose the game at the point where you would otherwise have won.

Fans have pointed out that this is only fully true for a few books (Citadel of Chaos or Starship Traveller) or somewhat true for others (Warlock of the Firetop Mountain), and very dubious in most others (being theoretically winnable with super-luck). In some cases, it's a complete lie, as rolling low on your initial scores makes it impossible to win without cheating (House of Hell or Crypt of the Sorcerer).

Fighting Fantasy / int_20016429	comment	Experienced Protagonist: In most of the books, your character is a famous adventurer or veteran warrior, which is why you're sought by The Powers That Be to do their suicide mission. The most successful has to be the "Hero of Tannatown" from Stormslayer, who starts off with a legendary magic sword they quested for in the past and two extra-special items plus an unusually high amount of starting Gold Pieces. On the other end of the spectrum is the guy from The Port of Peril who's experiencing one of the economic downturn moments of being an adventurer. He starts off doing a Dumpster Dive for food and only has some "useless" trinkets as a reminder of previous adventures. The protagonists who are newbies are the poor trapped civilians in House of Hell and Blood of the Zombies and the dinosaur rancher of Robot Commando. As well as the ones who start the book as actual teenagers with terrible minimal stats, The Crimson Tide and Secrets of Salamonis, but fortunately those books have something of an experience system.

They succeeded, and the Old World was spared the destruction suffered by Allansia and Khul, but many of the Minimites were so overwhelmed by the power they wielded that they thought they could become the benevolent leaders of the world.

A better example would be the vampire hunter Van Richten in Howl of the Werewolf; if you reveal your condition to him he'll express pity, but he still has to kill you because you're a potential danger. And not only that, you're penalized Luck for killing him because he still did a lot of good in his own way.

Fighting Fantasy / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Used almost to the point of absurdity in many books, when those seemingly innocuous things you gather just happen to be incredibly useful later on. Subverted by Crypt of the Sorcerer, where you can throw a rat skull into the Gargantis' pit. The Gargantis promptly crushes the rat skull and the text points out what a silly idea this was. A bit ironic considering Ian Livingstone's easily the author most guilty of invoking this trope. His style has you constantly collecting heaps and heaps of items for no clear purpose, until they suddenly turn out to have the magic power to save you from a particular type of danger you just happen to run into later on that same adventure. Nowhere is this more true than in Crypt of the Sorcerer, honestly. Beyond the string of magic items you need to have collected to win, to get to the final boss you need to answer a series of questions with numerical clues you're supposed to have found on the way. Some of the questions, to say nothing of how you're supposed to have learned the answers, are pretty random. One of them is something a companion just tells you in conversation at one point. Not something he found out that you need to know to get past the wizard's defenses, just a random factoid he tosses out when chatting to pass the time on the way to the next leg of the quest. Actually subverted in the very first book The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. The Y-shaped stick you find seems to build towards something, but by the time you're given a chance to use it, it has broken in your pack.

Fighting Fantasy / int_276ad49e	type	Karma Meter
Fighting Fantasy / int_276ad49e	comment	Karma Meter: Honour in several of the books. In most of these books a sufficiently high Honour score nets bonuses towards the end, most prominently in enabling that book's Infinity +1 Sword. In Sword of the Samurai, if Honour drops to 0, the main character automatically commits seppuku. On the other hand if you've managed to get it really high, you can unlock the full potential of the magic sword you're trying to recover from the Big Bad. In Knights of Doom, the lower the PC's Honour, the easier it is to corrupt them, but getting it high is the only way to be worthy of the book's ultimate magic weapon, which of course is the only one that can hurt the Big Bad. Tower of Destruction has a stat with similar utility. Honour also appears in Night Dragon, though it has little to no adverse effects. In general, Luck sometimes acts as one, as the reader can be penalized points for doing cowardly or unheroic things like abandoning people in obvious need, but can get more for things like saving people in trouble if it takes the hero out of his way. In Dead of Night, your character is a paladin who is constantly given the opportunity to commit unworthy or even downright wicked deeds. Any of these will increase your Evil rating, which if sufficiently high can cause you to automatically lose the game if you fail a dice roll. Presence fulfills this role in Island of the Undead. It's a measure of the player's spirituality; the higher it is, the better-disposed Non Player Characters become, and better able to resist the influence of evil spirits is the player. It is necessary to perform one Presence-sapping action, though the book reassures you that it's done for the greater good.

How are you supposed to know that this glove in that box is going to make you permanently weaker while that ring in that very same box enhances your agility? Most of the books require you to collect several MacGuffins (the keys in The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, the hammer parts in The Forest of Doom). There is usually little to no indication of where they are, and getting one often requires success in two or three previous encounters, with no indication at the time that those are important. If you miss one, you have to start over again, as there is no way to backtrack. Players were intended to play the book many times and map the whole thing, as a way to give the books Fake Longevity.

The lists of prices contained in Titan and Dungeoneer vary depending on whether you're in a large city with many merchants (least expensive), a smaller village with some regular commerce (more expensive), or a very isolated area where only a few very daring and greedy merchants will go (most expensive). Titan also goes into further detail about how a barter system can work-a master armourer will not accept two dozen chickens for a top quality breastplate, and it's a fairly dumb idea to buy a couple of apples with a bag of gems or a golden holy symbol.

You can only confront said vampire early if you catch up to him at a coaching inn, and then pay for a room, but there's no opportunities to gain gold in-between. This causes the player to lose out on an early Infinity -1 Sword and a Plot Coupon. It's still possible to win if you take the game literally, but it's harder and there are sections that refer to the Plot Coupon. This gets stranger later in the book; in the room of the minion who had the Infinity -1 Sword, he's only in the room if you prove that you killed said minion. Also, the coach that you chased can be seen parked at the vampire's mansion... and it again has a coffin in it, even if you destroyed it early.

Unfortunately, the editor of the book failed to realize this and increased the maximum SKILL of one of the first monsters you encounter from 6 to 12, thereby making the game more or less completely unwinnable at time of publication (since the error became apparent and the author of the book described the editor as "an idiot", most people reduce the monster's SKILL score accordingly). The notoriously Nintendo Hard Creature of Havoc has a system of finding secret doors by subtracting from the current reference you are on if it begins with "You find yourself..." The paragraph that contains a secret door you need to find to progress in the game does not begin with this.

Fighting Fantasy / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first book, you can only eat a meal when specifically given the option. Subsequent books let you eat at any time except when fighting. The same book also gave out extraordinarily large Luck prizes and Skill points at times when it really made no sense. Like after deciding to search a dead body, but before discussing what's special about whatever you took. The first few books were all more or less completely unconnected. Midway through the series an awful lot of Canon Welding attempted to tie all the books together into the world of Titan. The Demon summoned by Grimslade in "Scorpion Swamp" is stronger than any enemy in the series; including Demon Lords.

They are extremely durable, have SKILL stats in double digits, and cannot be harmed by edged weapons like swords or axes — adventurers will need to collect a warhammer in order to smash these enemies apart in combat, or else die in an unwinnable battle.

Fighting Fantasy / int_52db461d	comment	Significant Anagram: The Trialmaster in Deathtrap Dungeon gives you two anagrams to solve, each one the name of a monster. After solving them, you choose one, and then fight the monster. The anagrams are NO CROP IS: "Scorpion", and RUIN MOAT: "Minotaur". The Minotaur is easier to fight. A vitally important instance of this occurs in House of Hell. Inside one room is a kris knife, which is the only weapon that can be used to slay the Big Bad, but it has a magically locked door for which you will need to utter the correct password in order to enter. You have the opportunity to learn this password by getting a manservant drunk. When his tongue loosens enough to tell you the password, his brain is so addled he can't remember it anymore, telling you it's like the name of the house, but all mixed up. "Drumer" is an anagram for "murder", which is the password that lets you into the room.

Fighting Fantasy / int_638b65bc	comment	Armor Is Useless: In that usually getting better armor or a shield will give you a small Skill increase and nothing else. In a few books having a piece of armor or a shield will protect you getting hurt at one or two specific points (e.g. the manticore shooting his tail spikes at you before the fight in Deathtrap Dungeon, having a helmet will make you take less damage and stay conscious at one point in Knights of Doom). Some books try to be a little more ambitious, like Legend of the Shadow Warriors which has armor decreasing damage, but with some of the heavier sets lowering your skill, and being destroyed after a certain amount of damage. Space Assassin has an Armor score that works like the Luck score, where if you get shot you roll against the score and take no damage if you make the roll, but it will go down every time you make a roll to show your armor taking damage and getting less reliable.

If one of the available items is a claw hammer, ignore the last four words of the previous sentence. At the start of Forest of Doom, you have the option to buy a whole bunch of magic items from a merchant, and almost all (except for a few red herrings) will be useful in some encounter you may have, either auto-succeeding a skill roll or just plain save your life. You don't have enough money to buy everything at the start, but since this book actually allows you to try again rather than give a Bad Ending if you didn't find the plot items, and you've been finding valuables all over the forest, a second attempt will allow you to test those babies out.

Freeway Fighter takes place in a Mad Max-type near-future society. Three of Steve Jackson's books offer totally unique settings: House of Hell is a horror movie-inspired story set in the present day, Appointment with F.E.A.R. is a superhero adventure and the player character in Creature of Havoc is the mindless monster you'd usually fight. All of these books punish the player for acting as if they're still in a fantasy/action story. Black Vein Prophecy has none of the usual introduction or rules at all, sending you straight into the first paragraph — you don't roll up your statistics or find out anything about the adventure at all before starting. Blood of the Zombies does not have the Skill stat. In combat, how well you do depends on your weapons which do varying amounts of damage. Additionally all your enemies die in a single hit.

Fighting Fantasy / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: Some of the books have only one true path (read, some very specific things to do) to make it to the end. Particularly bad offenders are: Crypt of the Sorcerer, which features an incredibly narrow path and turns the whole game Unwinnable by Design if you stray even one move from it. The Crimson Tide, which is similar and also features a unique mechanic of a hidden message which is easy to miss. Creature of Havoc, which has various frustrating features; notably, the only correct path includes a section which ends in your death. You need to have a specific item and then use it to Take a Third Option not given by the text, but even if you have the item in question you might not think to use it there. There is also a maze near the beginning that is very hard to escape and a lot of areas where all the paths lead to death. Armies of Death requires you to win a bet (which has a 50-50 chance) in order to obtain a brooch, which you'll need later on as a gift for the Oracle, who provides you with information that you need to defeat the Big Bad. This means that even if you make every choice correctly and win every fight, you can still lose the game early on because of an unlucky die roll, and not even realize it until you get to the final showdown.

While everyone higher in the hierarchy of evil is either a Sealed Evil in a Can or The Ghost, they rule the local Hell, commanding directly or influencing indirectly the individual Big Bads, as well as having caused the nightmarish Chaos Wars, resulting in a global civilization collapse and the world becoming hostile. But far from working in common, they are as busy with power struggles as they are planning to unleash Hell on Earth on Titan, by merging the Demonic and Physical Planes together.

Fighting Fantasy / int_7315fd38	type	Covers Always Lie
Fighting Fantasy / int_7315fd38	comment	Covers Always Lie: Dear lord, so many examples: The cover of the original edition of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain shows a white-bearded wizard who looks nothing like the Warlock, and he is summoning a dragon from a crystal ball, which does not happen in the story. The cover of the original of Creature of Havoc shows Zarradan Marr, the Big Bad of the story, but this can make anyone think that the titular Creature of Havoc is him. The new edition cover shows a furry albino-like beast, while he is described as reptilian in the story. The albino monster seems to actually be a "Devourer", a one-off enemy from fairly early in the book. The cover of the original Caverns of the Snow Witch shows an Orc who is grasping his neck as he stands in front of a globe containing a woman's head. The scene does actually occur in the story — the woman is the titular Snow Witch, who kills an underling just to show her power — yet many viewers think that the Orc is the Witch (because of his long hair and he seems to be "casting a spell" in front of a crystal ball). What is really, really bad is that the newest French editions of the book cut the image so it just shows the Orc, proving the editors did no research just by flipping through the book. You'd think that the menacing pumpkin-headed figures are the title characters of Legend of the Shadow Warriors, whereas they are actually just manifestations of nature's wrath against man, a force of good, not evil. The original cover for City of Thieves shows the book's Big Bad Zanbar Bone alongside a shot of the city Port Blacksand, making it seem like the whole story takes place there and that's where the final showdown will take place. But nope, your time in Blacksand is spent searching for the wizard Nicodemus, and later the necessary components for a compound that can destroy the villain. Zanbar Bone's own lair is nowhere near Port Blacksand. The reprint cover for City of Thieves shows a fierce-looking man in a crowded tavern waving a knife at you, seemingly to challenge you to a fight. In the actual tavern scene in the book, though, the man is harmless and inviting you to play a Five-Finger Fillet knife game. If you refuse he'll simply leave you alone.

In Dead of Night, one of the talents you can choose as the Demon-Stalker is "Banish Undead" which, well, banish undead monsters. It's also the Achilles' Heel of the Blight Demons. The Keep of the Lich-Lord features the Charm of Unbinding, an exceptionally powerful variation that obliterates every undead around at once, and can prove vital against the Big Bad. Night of the Necromancer uses it as a twist: Since you are a ghost, many characters mistaking you for an evil spirit will use it against you.

Fighting Fantasy / int_831164fe	type	Signature Style
Fighting Fantasy / int_831164fe	comment	Signature Style: Ian Livingstone's books have varied settings, enthralling atmosphere and powerful and enjoyable travelling companions, but consist mostly in Dungeon Crawling, usually with a single mandatory path to victory, requiring the player to collect a ton of items and trinkets, and usually to open every door and pick a fight with everyone they meet in order to find them all. The markedly different style of Legend of Zagor created a Running Gag within the fandom that Livingstone had taken the credit for the book from Keith Martin and buried him in his back garden. note This was eventually confirmed, except for the last part. Steve Jackson is more experimental, always trying new ideas and situations. His books have deep background, but often require the player to collect items in order to avoid hard battles. The notorious style shift within the series' very first book The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, frequently registered when its infamous "maze" section comes up, is a result of Jackson and Livingstone essentially writing half the adventure each and simply jamming the two parts together to create the finished volume. Paul Mason's books require the player to take an incredibly narrow, specific path, but also tend to have the most complex stories, featuring actual plot twists. To make up for the restriction, he often includes a few mediocre endings and hollow victories in addition to the optimum ending and failures. American Steve Jackson (see Names the Same in the Trivia section) stands in direct contrast to Mason. His books feature non-linear stories that give the reader multiple paths to success and multiple good endings. Like Mason, he allows the reader to revisit locations. Dave Morris and Jamie Thomson collaborated on Keep of the Lich-Lord. The book features optional miniquests, a heavy sense of atmosphere, passwords, multiple (optional) weapon upgrades, and more-expressive-than-usual supporting characters. All five staples are prominently featured in their own series, The Fabled Lands. Stephen Hand puts very detailed settings with well-developed backgrounds. His books feature many plot-relevant non-player characters, with multiple paths to success, and more Shout Outs to movie villains and horror monsters per book that can be counted. Most of his books also include complex plots and many enigmas, and villains that can rarely be faced in straightforward fights, forcing you to rely on your wits to reach them, let alone to win. A Guile Hero who thinks before they slash he wants you to be. Jonathan Green specializes in Ãœberwald settings and plots that transpose staples of the horror genre and their most famous stories (coven of wizards, demons, mummies, Ghost Pirates, werewolves, ghosts searching to unmask their assassin, you name it) into the franchise's setting. He also uses codewords and alphanumeric codes to measure your progress. While his first books had a single path to victory and many unforgiving That One Bosses, his recent works are much more diverse and more open. They offer a large number of optional side quests and different branches, with multiple different ways of fighting the endgame by means of Plot Coupons with huge Replay Value: It's possible to go through some of them six or seven times without seeing everything. Keith Martin's books usually feature long and thoroughly detailed quests, having you exploring various wide landscapes with many different settings, leaving you free to go pretty much wherever you want and little penalty for skipping sections, for enormous Replay Value potential. He also adds detailed scenery, enthralling atmosphere, fleshed out Non-Player Characters, and battles with a charismatic and considerably powerful Final Boss (thankfully made much easier with an Infinity +1 Sword and some trinkets collected in a Gotta Catch Them All quest), and often a much easier True Final Boss fought in the Golden Ending.

Many books require the reader to work out a number hidden in a riddle or a name, which may depend on an acrostic, a pun, or converting a word into a number using an alphanumeric code. Translators usually just translated these directly without concern for lost information, rendering the acrostics and puns meaningless. The riddles could potentially be saved, but the code would lead to a different reference, and the paragraph numbers were not updated in the translation. This all meant that many books were unwinnable except in English.

But there's no such thing as a goblin goddess of agriculture; who the goblins have actually been praying to is Galana, the elven goddess of plants and fertility. Galana is so benevolent that rather than allow the goblins to starve, she helps keep their food production up despite them being evil.

Fighting Fantasy / int_950bbfa7	type	Take a Third Option
Fighting Fantasy / int_950bbfa7	comment	Take a Third Option: A lot of dangerous encounters give you an alternative to fighting, and some even give you an alternative to that. For example, in Space Assassin, there's a place where you have to get by a sentry who won't let you pass unless you answer a riddle. You can actually answer the riddle, which gets you by without a fight, or you can fight him (not recommended, seeing as he uses a disintegrator, which means he wins the fight if he makes one successful attack), or you can use options that involve items from your inventory, assuming you have them. (Although one of these options carries a risk of making him angry and forcing you into the fight option.) Note that the first option (answering the riddle) seems to be the proper option, because the challenge in the next room is much harder if you get past him any other way. Some of the more ambitious gamebooks hid options from you; the notoriously Nintendo Hard Creature of Havoc has several items or options that you aren't prompted to use but you have to deduct or add to a reference number to get a new reference number to use certain items (for example, a pendant that can find secret doors that requires you to add 20 to the reference number you are on at the time to use it). Notably, one of these options has to be used in a section that ends in your death to win the game. The spin-off series The Cretan Chronicles has a system where at certain points you can add 20 to the section number to attempt a nonstandard action. If no such action is available, you are penalized for trying to be ahead of your time. Both Zagor and Balthus Dire (the Big Bads of the first two books) can be defeated without a fight if you make the right choices.

One group of Elves believed that, since you Can't Argue with Elves, they should lead the other races to actively fight the forces of evil in Titan. The rest of the Elves balked at this, considering it tyranny. The dissident Elves and their prince (who was secretly a worshipper of Slangg, god of malice) tried to force the issue by trying to assassinate the Elf king and take power over the Elven nations themselves. The rest of the Elves fought back and nearly defeated the dissident Elves, until the dissidents fled underground. These dissident Elves eventually became the Dark Elves.

Fighting Fantasy / int_98b1dc8f	comment	Luck-Based Mission: In the first part of Creature of Havoc, your character is almost mindless, so instead of choosing what to do, you have to roll dice. The final confrontation of City of Thieves is another example. A wizard tells you that to kill the demonic Big Bad of the book you have to collect three alchemical ingredients and rub the mixture from them in his face. After you leave the city and before you enter the villain's stronghold, you get a message from the wizard that he remembered wrong: you have to use a mixture of only two of those ingredients out of three possible combinations, but he doesn't remember which one, and you're asked to lock in your decision with no guidance before you even start the final dungeon. Meaning you can get through all the dangers of a tough last area, incapacitate the final boss, and then still die and have to start all over because of the 66% probability of making the wrong random choice. At least this frustrates the player's avatar too.

In Crypt of the Sorcerer, you have to kill the defenseless keeper of the Valley of Bones (which penalizes you right off the bat) and steal one of his rings, which you need to awaken the undead in the graveyard. Some readers found the book frustrating. In The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, Zagor is just sitting in his lair, minding his own business, when in barges this bounty hunter who wrecked the place and stole all his stuff, who kills him. Amongst Zagor's stuff that the player loots is a spellbook that shows the owner how to control the monsters of Firetop Mountain. That's right: the hero has the option to become an Evil Overlord should they feel like it.

Fighting Fantasy / int_9dab0a6e	type	Continuity Nod
Fighting Fantasy / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: After a while, the authors started including more and more references to previous books. For example, the Trial of Champions follows the player through a reworked version of Deathtrap Dungeon, and the protagonist goes on to star in Armies of Death. Likewise, the plot of The Crimson Tide is kicked off by events that occur in Black Vein Prophecy, and the PC of the former can meet several character from the latter, as well as a diplomatic envoy from Hachiman, previously seen in Sword of the Samurai. The brother of the vampire hunter Van Richten from Howl of the Werewolf shows up in the otherwise unrelated Night of the Necromancer. Likewise, one of the pre-generated characters one can choose is the protagonist of Knights of Doom. In Caverns of the Snow Witch, characters will pass in view of Firetop Mountain, and one of the companions will ask if the Warlock still rules Firetop Mountain. Presumably the player is about to answer when they are interrupted, since the reader may or may not have read that book. The Forest of Doom (book #3) begins with you encountering a dying dwarf named Bigleg, who begs you to recover a warhammer which was stolen from the king of Stonebridge. You are aided in your quest by the wizard Yaztromo. In Caverns of the Snow Witch (book #9) you're accompanied for a time by a dwarf named Stubb, before he runs into his friend Bigleg and leaves with him to go after the stolen warhammer. And Temple of Terror (book #14) opens with you "resting in Stonebridge" after "the rigours of a recent quest," before Yaztromo arrives and sends you on another quest (after asking "Haven't I seen you before?'). In the middle of the book you run into another dying dwarf who was sent to deliver you the selfsame warhammer, after Yaztromo learned that you'd need it to accomplish your goal. Phantoms of Fear has a dream sequence which, if you pick up on the clues, is a glimpse into the story of Trial of Champions. The Port of Peril being the first book of the last relauch, it is filled to the brim with too many allusions to list, mostly to Ian Livingstone's previous books. The protagonist of Assassins of Allansia is the one who killed Zanbar Bone in either City of Thieves or The Port of Peril and is tracked down by assassins sent by his second-in-command, who is quite miffed about it. (The Port of Peril is more likely, as The Hero is broke in both and said second-in-command plotted to resurrect Zanbar Bone in it.) In the end, the protagonist has to take part in the Trials of Champions, most likely becoming the hero of Deathtrap Dungeon as well.

Fighting Fantasy / int_a414c3f0	comment	One-Hit Kill: In some books, you have the pleasure of being able to kill a foe in a single hit depending on the circumstance: In the Fighting Fantasy book Creature of Havoc, the Player Character is a hulking Monstrous Humanoid with a 1-in-6 chance each combat roll of landing a Critical Hit that instantly kills its opponent. It can also accidentally drink a potion that suppresses this power. In Freeway Fighter and The Rings of Kether, you can do this but only in vehicular combat and are limited by ammo. The first example, your car has rockets to blow up enemies while the second, your spaceship has smart missiles to vapourize them. In Rebel Planet, humans (and it's only humans) have taken to mastering the martial arts against their alien oppressors, the Arcadians. Human fighters know all the pressure points on Arcadians and humans, so they have a chance to kill either species if they fight them unarmed (making your character's laser sword kinda pathetic barring a skill penalty for being unarmed). In Slaves of the Abyss, your character is a master with their sword of Fangthane steel. With this weapon and only this, your character will instantly kill enemies if you roll a pair of 6 for your Attack Strength. In Starship Traveller, if you successfully shoot someone with a phaser - they're either dead or stunned depending on the weapon's setting. Unfortunately your enemies have the same advantage (except for one "primitive" species that uses a rocket staff - your Medical Officer has a chance of stabilizing crew that have been struck, preventing them from dying).

Fighting Fantasy / int_a5e02e9e	comment	Honour in several of the books. In most of these books a sufficiently high Honour score nets bonuses towards the end, most prominently in enabling that book's Infinity +1 Sword. In Sword of the Samurai, if Honour drops to 0, the main character automatically commits seppuku. On the other hand if you've managed to get it really high, you can unlock the full potential of the magic sword you're trying to recover from the Big Bad. In Knights of Doom, the lower the PC's Honour, the easier it is to corrupt them, but getting it high is the only way to be worthy of the book's ultimate magic weapon, which of course is the only one that can hurt the Big Bad. Tower of Destruction has a stat with similar utility. Honour also appears in Night Dragon, though it has little to no adverse effects.

In Sword of the Samurai, retrieving the extremely cool sword "The Singing Death" from the villain who stole it was the main goal of the book. In Vault of the Vampire, you can find "Nightstar", which is especially deadly against vampires and can be used instead of a stake against a dormant vampire.

Fighting Fantasy / int_b7920c43	type	Lost in Translation
Fighting Fantasy / int_b7920c43	comment	Lost in Translation: Alarmingly bad in the non-English editions. Many books require the reader to work out a number hidden in a riddle or a name, which may depend on an acrostic, a pun, or converting a word into a number using an alphanumeric code. Translators usually just translated these directly without concern for lost information, rendering the acrostics and puns meaningless. The riddles could potentially be saved, but the code would lead to a different reference, and the paragraph numbers were not updated in the translation. This all meant that many books were unwinnable except in English. Averted in most of the German translations, however. Even a set of two riddles based on converting letters to numbers and adding them up was done properly in the German version of Sword of the Samurai. The Hungarian translations take great pains to transplant every riddle correctly as well. Not too surprising, given that Hungary has a very large and active fantasy/roleplaying scene with several publishing companies dedicated solely to it, one of which publishes the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks.

Fighting Fantasy / int_c053f1fc	comment	Ian Livingstone's books have varied settings, enthralling atmosphere and powerful and enjoyable travelling companions, but consist mostly in Dungeon Crawling, usually with a single mandatory path to victory, requiring the player to collect a ton of items and trinkets, and usually to open every door and pick a fight with everyone they meet in order to find them all. The markedly different style of Legend of Zagor created a Running Gag within the fandom that Livingstone had taken the credit for the book from Keith Martin and buried him in his back garden. note This was eventually confirmed, except for the last part.

Fighting Fantasy / int_c2393191	comment	Show Within a Show: In Magehunter, to defeat Mencius, you listen to a story by Al-Haddar, which starts out as a metaphor for your own adventure — Jaddar pursued the evil Abdul Al-Azrad with his magic bow. Abdul escapes, but Jaddar pursues, and en route encounters a man who tells him the story of a prince who befriended an evil wizard. In this substory, the wizard was captured but the prince freed him, and the wizard turned him into a lion. The lion prince wandered the land in desolation and eventually came across a genie, who had to kill him. First, however, the genie told the lion prince the story of his brother to explain why he had to kill him. The genie's brother was a great genie, but he was killed by his jealous brother. The brother was thrown out of the tower, and when he tried to get in, he found his way blocked by a snake, a lion, and a raven, and he was instructed to kill the most dangerous. At this point, the story transitions to second-person choose your own adventure style, but still has Al-Haddar's quotation marks. When the most dangerous animal is dead, the hero is approached by an exile prince who asks for aid — and at this point Al-Haddar stops narrating.

Just before the end of Dead of Night, your brother's "ghost" shows up and tells you to jump out a window at the top of a high tower in order to reach Myurr. Guess what happens. There are three cases of this with the Final Boss of Space Assassin. (The guy is a Faux Affably Evil type and a Bad Liar.) He first offers you a drink. (It's poisoned.) If you don't fall for that, he asks for a Last Request and asks to play cards. (He's trying to distract you to get a weapon.) And if you don't fall for that, he threatens you with what he claims is a lethal weapon. (It's nothing but an old clock.) The worst part about all this is, even you're smart enough not to believe any of his lies, there's still a fight, and it isn't easy. But not always, because sometimes the books try to trick you this way. The original Deathtrap Dungeon is full of places that play this Trope straight. However, In one place, a sad-looking ghostly girl recites a poem to you, and later it becomes clear she's urging you to dive into a pool of water at the end of a corridor. While this seems like an obvious attempt to trick you into jumping into a flooded subterranean tunnel with no exit, she's telling the honest-to-goodness truth. Not only is it safe, but if you don't believe her, you won't find a crucial item you need to win the game. Drinking red "wine" in a vampire's castle isn't a smart move.

Fighting Fantasy / int_d397657d	comment	Hoist by His Own Petard: The Archmage from Spectral Stalkers sends a group of unstoppable demons called the Spectral Stalkers after the bearer of an artifact called the Aleph. You eventually hand him the Aleph... just as the Spectral Stalkers are about to appear in his throne room. The resulting Oh, Crap! moment is stupendous. In Bloodbones, one of the enemies you fight is the Anchor Man, an assassin who uses an anchor and chain as a weapon. The story is set in a seaside port. Take a wild guess as to one of the ways you can kill the Anchor Man. In Daggers of Darkness, you are a contender for the throne of Kazan. If you manage to survive the evil Vizier's assassination attempts and reach the throne room, you find his daughter already seated on the throne. She first tries to attack you with a dagger, and then sics some ogres on you. However, the throne is enchanted to kill anyone who draws a weapon in its presence.

Fighting Fantasy / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: After your home village is decimated at the start of Tower of Destruction, you can either start clearing away rubble and helping the survivors or you can start gathering up supplies for yourself by basically looting the ruins. Your fellow townsfolk do not appreciate your apparent opportunism. You can get a few moments like this from the gamebooks themselves, such as by killing the harmless goblin children in Citadel of Chaos, or killing the blacksmith in City of Thieves, the latter of which actually punishes you with a Luck deduction. In Portal of Evil you can find yourself in a position where you have to rob a merchant of 10 gold pieces in order to pay for food. You need one of these to pay for the provisions, and if you refuse to hand over the rest to a group of beggar children, the text will say "Evil-doers have little to fear from you, you are joining their side!" This also results in a Luck penalty as the gods frown on you.

Although most depictions of him match the original illustration by Russ Nicholson — tall, thin and dark-haired, with a widow's peak and a goatee. The "old man" on the cover of the first edition of Warlock is a magical disguise, and the more inhuman appearance in Legend of Zagor is the result of him dying and coming back fused with a demon.

Legend of Zagor itself was also a sequel to a "Puzzle Art Book" called "Casket of Souls", causing a crossover (Zagor fusing with the Big Bad Demon from that book). Deathtrap Dungeon was followed by Trial of Champions, which uses a different player character attempting the Trial in a different year; Armies of Death features the same player character from Trial. The Forest Of Doom has a follow-up in Temple of Terror where the hero who had recovered the Hammer of Gillibran is now on a quest from Yaztromo and learnt a few spells from him too. The Crimson Tide has a follow-up on the events of Black Vein Prophecy (with cameos from the player character and several others) at the end. Revenge of the Vampire is a direct sequel to Vault of the Vampire. The Port of Peril to City of Thieves, written thirty-plus years after the original. With Assassins of Allansia being a sequel of one, most likely the former.

As you might expect, they're all pretty unpleasant sorts. One of the big evil empires on Titan is the desert-dwelling (but expanding) Snake Man empire, who were created when one of the lesser gods of evil collected a variety of human and snake specimens and blended them together. Unusually for a god, there were "a great many horrific mistakes, on which it is better not to dwell", before said god actually managed to create the species they wanted.

At their height they had both fearsome magical powers and fighting skills, but in their final war against the Dwarves their Skorn slaves rebelled and joined their enemies, and the Dwarf-Skorn alliance crushed them. Now, the N'yadach are pitiful wretches reduced to hunting vermin and struggling to survive.

Fighting Fantasy / int_fcd993bd	type	Video Game Cruelty Punishment
Fighting Fantasy / int_fcd993bd	comment	Video Game Cruelty Punishment: As noted above, you'll get burned by this if you commit certain dick acts. Sometimes you'll lose SKILL, STAMINA or LUCK, sometimes you'll be cursed with some sort of negative effect, or you may simply suffer an instant death. A notable subversion occurs in Crypt of the Sorcerer, where you have to kill the Bonekeeper to get an item that lets you get another item that you need to avoid an extremely hard fight later on in the book. Unfortunately, you're still hit with a major LUCK penalty for doing so. Another subversion occurs in Vault of the Vampire with the Cloudcuckoolander Wilhelm Heydrich. If you attack and kill him, you'll suffer a LUCK penalty... but if you catch him in an Ax-Crazy mood and he attacks you first, you will not be punished for killing him.

Fighting Fantasy / int_fd752bc3	comment	All Trolls Are Different: Large, tough, not too bright — and commonly employed as city guards, at least in the more morally ambiguous parts of the world.

Fighting Fantasy / int_ff6ae1f6	comment	Evil-Detecting Dog: In the Magehunter's world, it is common practice to feed a dog on nothing but goat meat for a week to make them sniff out wizards. On Titan, if you do this, it turns out they specifically sniff out evil wizards, as Kurt is actually quite friendly towards Khasim.

Fighting Fantasy / int_ff7f34c5	type	Pet the Dog
Fighting Fantasy / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Lord Azzur is the tyrannical ruler of Port Blacksand, the otherwise hopelessly corrupt and vile City of Thieves. While Azzur was a notorious pirate and murderer before he seized control of Blacksand, he indulges some rather odd acts of charity, including providing a luxurious home for a woman abducted by the evil Snake Men of the Desert of Skulls and left with the head of a giant snake, and celebrating the New Year by executing several of Port Blacksand's wealthiest citizens and donating their riches to the poor. Subverted in the Blacksand! sourcebook, when the entry for his first charity executions is immediately followed in the timeline by "Several of the now-rich citizens from last year's poor are killed in this year's charity executions." Fine sense of irony, that tyrant. The reader can even use Azzur's care of the Serpent Queen (the lady with the snake head) to their advantage in City of Thieves. If the player character enters the Serpent Queen's home, they can avoid a fairly difficult fight by presenting her with flowers and saying they are from Lord Azzur. She takes the gift with delight and gives the player a small tip.
