Hey all!

Hi!

I found a link to this site from Titannica, the Fighting Fantasy wiki.

(http://fightingfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Fighting_Fantasy_on_the_Web - link 53).

I am a long time gamebook enthusiast and former Magic the Gathering player.  I also have some Dungeons and Dragons sourcebooks and online resources, but I use them mostly for ideas as I have never found a group to play with.

I have written a few gamebooks, mostly Fighting Fantasy.  They can be found at the Yahoo gamebooks group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gamebooks/messages?o=1) and the Chronicles of Arborell webiste (http://www.arborell.com/gamebook_archive.html).  I am also writing a blog about gamebooks.

http://virtualfantasies.blogspot.com/

I am running an FF RPG and taking part in Gamekeeper's RPG on facebook.  I have a dayjob, but spend as much free time as I can either writing gamebooks or writing about gamebooks.  

I would love to hear about more obscure gamebooks - I have only read a few Choose your Own Adventure books and I have not yet read any Way of the Tiger series.  

I always like to chat about the better known books as well.

Now that all the Lone Wolf books are free online, I'd like to play through them all.  That would be nice.

Look forward to being part of the forum guys!

Your gamebooks look nice and compact.  100 sections is seriously digestible. Ace.  Congratulations on the awards as well!

Edit: Which author are you on the Chronicle page?

Have you ever thought about writing Tunnels and Trolls solos? - I got tipped off the other day that Flying Buffalo are still interested in submissions (I was thinking about having a crack at one at some point but as always I feel my ambition is greater than my capacity atm)

I'm going to have root about for the link ...

Hi Billiam!  Thanks for the link - I need to check this forum more often!  

Tunnels and Trolls looks interesting.  I need to get clued up on the system and then submit.  Thanks, Billiam.

I'm Stuart Lloyd on the Arborell website.  Thanks for checking it out :)
