Seas of Blood | comment |
Seas of Blood is the 16th entry in the Fighting Fantasy line of Gamebooks, written by Andrew Chapman.You are a ruthless pirate, captain of the Banshee and the most infamous pirate in the infamous city state of Tak. Or at least joint most infamous pirate as your rival Abdul the Butcher matches you for greed and daring. Out of this fierce rivalry a wager is struck. Both of you have thirty days to reach the distant southern isle of Nippur, winning as much booty as you can. The winner may call themselves King of the Pirates.Seas of Blood is notable as the first Fighting Fantasy book built around the idea that you are playing a bad guy, with the protagonist an unashamed buccaneer. It also introduced the concept of keeping time during your play through (in the form of a ship's log) and rules for fighting mass battles between ships crews, other groups of warriors or truly gigantic monsters. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change: The fight with the cyclops at the end of the book, where it disarms you and instead of rolling dice to fight you need to make branching choices on how to attack it, until one of you's out of Stamina. | |

Seas of Blood / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: You're playing a villain, whereas the typical Fighting Fantasy protagonist is either explicitly heroic or at least a mercenary facing definite evil. The heavy focus on you as a leader of a crew is also unusual with only Armies of Death having a similar emphasis. From the author's perspective, this is the only Fighting Fantasy story by Andrew Chapman that is a fantasy adventure set on Titan. His previous works, Space Assassin and The Rings of Kether, are both sci-fi adventures. | |
