More than 40 years after its initial inception, the classic Fighting Fantasy book series is back as a Kickstarter campaign collection, owing to a book deal with Steve Jackson Games. Trailing an intimidating legacy behind it, this marks a milestone for the classic choose-your-own-adventure style RPG as it finally comes to the US, along with larger print and a host of original artwork to accompany it.

While coveted across the Atlantic, prospective players in the US had been stuck scouting for ways to ship the books “overseas or via online auction sites” as the Kickstarter page notes. That will no longer be a problem, thanks to the series being picked up by Texas-based publisher Steve Jackson Games last year.

…

Now, writers Steve Jackson (UK), Steve Jackson (US), and Sir Ian Livingstone are working together to bring us revisions of the classic original series, which will contain original black and white artwork “when possible,” as well as larger print and better formatting for enhanced readability.

The current collection, which is live on Kickstarter right now, includes the five most popular books in the series: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain by Steve Jackson (UK) and Ian Livingstone, Deathtrap Dungeon and City of Thieves by Ian Livingstone, The Citadel of Chaos by Steve Jackson (UK), and The Forest of Doom by Ian Livingstone.
