Fighting Fantasy fan works being built for the SKILL + STAM FAM JAM
At last your two day hike is done…
41 years ago this weekend, Puffin Books released The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. The book was built to show British readers what the burgeoning roleplaying game scene was — rather than explaining what it was, running them through a sample adventure game entirely contained within the book. Hell, today most large trpgs still include a statement explaining What IS rpgs?
While the Fighting Fantasy books would mostly go on to inspire other gamebook series and solo play, there remains a strong vein of contemporary and current trpgs whose lineage draws directly from WOFM — many of whom still commission the same classic artists!
Starting this August and run by Chitin Press’ Sean F. Smith (EXUVIAE, Quarrel + Fable, Orc Borg (editor)), the SKILL + STAM FAM JAM invites creators from around the world to create adventures and gaming materials for all these systems.
The jam runs until the end of December 2023.
