I was always a fan of the Fighting Fantasy books - they were big in Canada and the UK, but less so in the USA. Interactive role-playing gaming in book form! And dice too!

- RhysU 4y agoYes, yes I do have the Sommerswerd.
- aidenn0 4y agoThe later books punished you rather harshly for having it. I think it was intentional so that people with more "powered up" characters (i.e. had been playing since book 1) were given a bigger challenge.

- stolenmerch 4y agoI was a big fan of Endless Quest for similar reasons. Loved CYOA, but loved the non-linear narrative along with tracking stats throughout your story.
- jimjimjim 4y agoFighting Fantasy books were a much bigger deal the cyoa books for me and my social circle around around that time. cyoa were fun but people I knew were obsessed by FF books. People would lend them to friends, borrow them, trade them, make or print extra sheets for recording stats and rolls. They built an ecosystem around themselves.
