Adventurer! For a limited time, this You Are the Hero Quick Deal presents the 40th Anniversary Edition of You Are the Hero plus interactive Ace Gamebooks inspired by the Fighting Fantasy gamebook series. Part history, part celebration, You Are the Hero chronicles four decades of the Fighting Fantasy phenomenon. Written by Jonathan Green (author of eight Fighting Fantasy gamebooks), this revised, updated, and lavishly illustrated tome will appeal to anyone who ever whiled away a washed-out summer holiday with only two dice and a pencil.
This new Quick Deal celebrates a Kickstarter campaign in progress, "Fighting Fantasy Solo Adventure Gamebooks - Back In Print!" American publisher Steve Jackson Games is reprinting the first five Fighting Fantasy gamebooks in enhanced editions with large print. (Trivia: The British Steve Jackson who started the Fighting Fantasy gamebook series with Ian Livingstone, and who also co-founded Games Workshop, is no relation to the American Steve Jackson, designer of Munchkin, GURPS, Car Wars, Ogre, and Illuminati. But – get this – the US Steve also wrote three Fighting Fantasy gamebooks! You Are the Hero explains everything.)
For just US$19.95 you get all nine titles in our Ace Gamebooks Collection (retail value $129) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete full-color, 324-page You Are the Hero 40th Anniversary Edition along with seven Ace Gamebooks written by Jonathan Green in the Fighting Fantasy tradition: Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland, The Wicked Wizard of Oz, Neverland - Here Be Monsters, Beowulf Beastslayer, 'Twas - The Krampus Night Before Christmas, Dracula - Curse of the Vampire, and Ronin 47. We also include Jonathan's Saxon-era roleplaying game Heorot - Roleplaying in the World of Beowulf Beastslayer. (It's not a gamebook, just a good game.)
We presented the first volume of the original You Are the Hero (2014) in our November 2016 Indie Cornucopia 4 offer. This is the newly updated and greatly expanded 40th Anniversary Edition (2024), funded in an October 2022 Kickstarter campaign. Note: You Are the Hero isn't available on DriveThruRPG.
