Arion Games have teamed up with Cubicle 7 to bring us that old stalwart of introductory RPGs – Advanced Fighting Fantasy.
Advanced Fighting Fantasy was the roleplaying game that evolved from Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone‘s famous solo adventure Fighting Fantasy series of books.
The new version of Advanced Fighting Fantasy is due out in May 2011.
It was an early favourite of many a gamer group and I’m really pleased to see Cubicle 7 re-publishing Out of the Pit to help launch Advanced Fighting Fantasy. That’s enough to whip up a whirlwind of nostalgia.
Out of the Pit was a key supplement for the RPG. This 128 paged, black and white, supplement is also due out May 2011.
The supplement will have a host of monster stats, 250 illustrations, maps and plenty of tables and charts. A glance at the authors suggest that we may not be changing much from the 1985 original. Who are the authors? Steve Jackson, Ian Livingstone and Marc Gascoigne.
As a way of an illustration to just how solid Out of the Pit has been for all these years. I bet you can still find it for sale at Amazon.
