A Halfling, a Gnome, and an Orc are running away from the city guard in Port Blacksand when they come to a thick wood on the outskirts of the city. They each decide to hide by climbing a tree. When the Troll Guardsmen arrive, they go to the first tree
where the Halfling is hiding and shout, "We know you're
up there, come down!" The Guardsmen, thinking that it's a bird, move on to the next
tree where the Gnome is hiding and once again shout, "We
know you're up there, come down!" The Guardsmen, thinking that it's an owl, move on to the next
tree where the Orc is hiding and once again shout, "We
know you're up there, come down!" |

Anvar the Barbarian who was one of the player-chracters in Legend of Zagor was also the first ever D&D character that was created by Ian Livingstone in 1975!!! Some of the characters illustrated in Deathtap Dungeon were
drawn from photos taken by by Ian Livingstone, e.g. the old
man in para 187, and the crowd and entrance illustration of

| All of our Gamebooks are popular and if our FFG Forum is anything to go by you all like nothing more than attempting to write your own. With this in mind, we have decided to start collecting and presenting your own Adventure Moments! Whatever your favorite Fighting Fantasy™ Gamebook is, we want to hear your ideas on how the ending or certain paragraphs could be edited to make the adventure more difficult or more fun. Post your ideas to us and we'll launch a new area presenting the best! |
ADVENTURE GAMEBOOK RULES: A Guide to Fighting Fantasy™ PAGE 2
BATTLES You will often come across paragraphs in the adventure, which instruct you to fight a creature of some sort. An option to flee may be given, but if not – or if choose to attack the creature anyway – you must resolve the battle as described below. First, record the opponent’s SKILL and STAMINA scores in the first empty Encounter box on your online Adventure Sheet. The scores for each opponent or creature are given in the adventure each time you have an encounter. The sequence of combat is then: 1. Click the ROLL DICE button once for the creature. Add its SKILL score. This total is the creature's Attack Strength. 2. Click the ROLL DICE button once for yourself. Add the number rolled to your current SKILL score. This total is your Attack Strength. 3. If your Attack Strength is higher than that of the creature, you have wounded it. Proceed to step 4. If the creatures' Attack Strength is higher than yours is, it has wounded you. Proceed to step 5. If both Attack Strength totals are the same, you have avoided each other’s blows – start the next Attack Round from steps 1 above. 4. You have wounded the creature; so subtract 2 points from its STAMINA score. You may use LUCK here to do additional damage (see next). Proceed to step 7. 5. The creature has wounded you; so subtract 2 points from your own current STAMINA score. Again, you may use LUCK to reduce the loss of STAMINA (see next). Proceed to step 7. 6. Make the appropriate
adjustments to either the creature's or your own STAMINA scores
(and your LUCK score if you used LUCK – see next).
