YOU ARE THE HERO - Part 2

Just imagine for a minute, if you will, that there was to be a supplement to YOU ARE THE HERO published next year, to mark the 35th anniversary of the publication of the first Fighting Fantasy gamebook, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain.

If there was such a title, what would you like to see contained within its pages?

  1. May I say I am a huge fan of the original 'You Are The Hero' and it is hard to know quite what it didn't already cover!

    Perhaps some information (and interviews with the writers) on the more recent Advanced Fighting Fantasy books (ie. the Heroes Companion or Beyond the Pit)?

  2. I have a hazy recollection of some sort of Forest of Doom adventure weekend type of thing. I didn't read anything about it when I read You Are the Hero (bought the hardback). Maybe I missed it (a good enough reason to re-read it!) or maybe I imagined the whole thing. If it really happened it'd be nice to hear more about it.
    I still have a clipping of the picture of the cover art that I'm sure was used in the advert for it, but I might be mis-remembering where I got that from too. I must've thrown away the rest of it :(

    1. It's not something I'm aware of. I'll see what I can find out...

  3. It turns out you're right, and I shall reveal all in the new book. Thanks for the heads-up! :-)

    1. Yay me.

      I bet it was dreadful. It sounds like something that stands a fair chance of being dreadful.

      Cool idea though. At least I remember thinking it could be awesome.

      I bet someone could do a pretty good job of doing one today in these Pokemon-Gone days of augmented reality.
