Chernobyl Mon Mar 31 16:54:34 2008 Bodies In The Docks	Hey can you talk to whoever made bodies in the docks and maybe convince him to write a sequel
	He (Simon Osborne) was certainly at one point working on a sequel, but as it's been over five years since Bodies In The Docks was written, I wouldn't hold your breath. If you want to encourage him yourself, his email address can be found at his website http://homepage.ntlworld.com/outspaced.

Hello Seeker-

Steve Jackson and and Ian Livingstone co-founded Games Workshop in 1980 (as a result of the growing interest in Dungeons and Dragons). You are of course correct that there is also 'another' Steven Jackson, based in the United States, who was/is involved in gaming and also wrote Fighting Fantasy Books.

What's also interesting is that Joe Dever, author of the popular Lone Wolf Series, originally created that world as a setting for his Dungeons and Dragons campaign (Dever had won a Dungeons and Dragons tournament in Los Angeles, which was part of what inspired him to pursue writing gamebooks).

Point is, it's probably not a stretch to say that without Dungeons and Dragons, role playing (and ultimately many well loved gamebook series) would not have developed as we know them today (if at all).

RIP Gary Gygax

Steve Jackson created FF AND Games Workshop. Well helped any way. I should know seeing as I play Games Workshop products (Warhammer, Warhammer 4000 and LOTR SBG).

Gaetano, are you sure the Steven Jackson who created Games Workshop is the same guy who was involved in gamebooks?

From what I recall, that was a common misconception as two "Steve Jackson" were involved, rather than just one: one being in gamebooks and the other one with Games Workshop.

Gary Gygax. the creator of 'Dungeons and Dragons'. He was a pioneer in the field of role playing games. Gamebooks such as Fighting Fantasy are a spinoff of role playing games. Without Mr. Gygax, Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone might never have started Games Workshop and gone on to create Fighting Fantasy. Many of the other gamebooks we love might never have been written.

Mr. Gygax passed away a couple of days ago, which is what Josh had referred to.

Hello Krist and welcome.
Sorry for not responding to your posts, but I wasn't sure if you were trying to ask a question or what your questions were exactly.

If you would like people to review your work, I suggest you ask those interested to send you their email address so you can email your work-so-far back to them.

If you would like me to be one of them, you can email me at: ff_stories(at)hotmail.com

By the way, I'm not special or anything. There are many people here who can give you good advice.

Freddikins, I Just Wanted to show U guys what I've got so far.I'm new at this chat stuff and any ideas that will help with my story are greatly appreciated. Like many of you I was a big fan of Steve and Ian's work and recently (after reading the Zagor Chronicles) decided to try my hand. I am new at using the computer and was hoping that you may be able to help me get started.? TM . :) I guess I got a bit excited after discovering the guestbook and the fact that there were people Icould discuss this with. I've got some really great ideas. I was going to just try to write an F.F. type novel, but now feel that maybe online's the way to go. The intro. was meant well, for Ulysses to scope. But he hasn't responded as of yet. Sorry for taking up space or whatever.

Not a problem. If you do intend to go on and type out the whole of your adventure into the guestbook, that would seem like a futile activity to me, but it's up to you. I can't say for sure why Ulysses has not responded, but it's not clear to me what exactly you are asking, so it might not be clear to him either.

Um, sorry to be rude. But can people who write things in this guestbook write stuff that makes sense? If the entires above is supposed to be the introduction to a gamebook, why is it here?

There are many other towns & cities crawling with Evil. Ti'Bor for one. This city is run by rough 'Norse Men' whose origins are unknown. Sulkt is the Northmost city inhabited exclusively by Wizards & Sorcerers. Though not much is known about the place. The Petrified Forest & The Jungle of Illusion (which is inhabited by Lizard Men) is another place few dare to venture. To the south there is a swamp inhabited by, some believe two witches. Mount Melkor is located smack dab in the middle of your lands. Some believe a Great Dragon named Melkor once dwelled there. Melkor was a Demon-God in Middle-Earth. He is also believed to be Krist' GrandFather. Krist is famous for stopping the orc takeover Years ago. At a place called Orc's End. Where he posed as an Orc , gaining they're trust. Being a member of the cult of Decay, He's somtimes is look down By other members of his Father's court. Kingdom, however, loves his son & and wants what's best for him. Despite his rebellous ways. At the Battle of Orc's End, Krist will defeat The Orcs. Hopefully to gain his Father's Kingdom.! Ther are also a few Islands around offshore of his Father's kingdom. One is the Island of 'Spekt' ; which is inhabited by Fallen Knights. Again for the most part they stay on there island. There are afew great rivers to explore , lakes. Forests? Nataly (also called Nat or Not) is an island where people have been seen taking. A brave adventurer might to look into that.The Frozen city/Continent of Nethcros is the Krystlands worst enemy. Located to the North of Kristia. The Great or long River spans fr. one end of the continent to other.

Your adventure starts on the Moors just outside your Father, Kingdom's lands. The moors have always been one of your favorite places to blow off steam when your finished your training to be King. Your Father's lands are great for adventuring. As of late you've been tracking the orcs that inhabit them. Descendants of Dree also reside around the moors. Witches and Warloks. They are for the most part loyal to your Father in exchange for his protection.
