COMPETITION 3: Tricks
n' Traps
Win Fighting Fantasy™ Books
All the Fighting Fantasy™ Gamebooks have
some pretty terrifying creatures that you may encounter on your
travels. How many of you read the Warlock of Firetop Mountain
and discovered the portcullis levers, or even worse fell to
the many devious traps and puzzles in Baron Sukumvit's deadily
Deathtrap Dungeon in both the Gamebook Deathtrap Dungeon and
the Trial of Champions?
WHAT ARE TRAPS?
Traps are often the most common obstacles that
an Adventurer will face in the Fighting Fantasy series and you
will often need a great deal of Luck and the use of initiative
and intelligence to survive. Often events or encounters in many
Fighting Fantasy™ adventures may cause death or serious
injury to your hero. Many of these encounters with traps will
often be found in locations laced with these (especially in
dungeons, tombs, underground lairs or cavern systems belonging
to thieves, pirates, evil warlocks, necromancers or sorcerers).
Traps are often triggered in many different types of ways and
we want to see original examples of these by our amateur designers.
You could have a trap that opens some form of trap door? A trap
that is a trap door? How about a booby tap or passage trap?
What about a compicated puzzle or devious risslebased trap?
The options are endless...
During September and October 2003 we are launching
a new competition. Do you have an idea for a gruesome Fighting
Fantasy™ trap? We would like to see your creations and
are offering – a signed A2 poster by Mel Grant as a prize.
Send us your description and design of a trap that could exist
in a ruined tomb or dungeon. We will publish the best of the
monsters on the site in the future, and age will be taken into
account. The Closing date of this competition is the 1st November
2003.
