Now working hard on a Maelstrom Expanded book. Takes the original + our companion, expands character creation, revises combat and magick somewhat and gives a campaign structure. Watch this space!

I was lucky enough to meet him at a con back in 2019; soft spoken and a really nice guy. I managed to bag a photo with the guys themselves, too.

I've got a great Fighting Fantasy collection and I'm really proud of it - I got my first book The Citadel of Chaos signed by Steve, Ian and Russ and I use my copy of Titan as a mass signature book. I'm hoping to get it topped up at Dragonmeet this year.

I've still got lots of plans to write more!

I went on to create a version of the basic Fighting Fantasy game as it was first presented in the Introductory Book by Steve Jackson. One day I'll do something with it.

Fighting Fantasy will always have a special place in my heart, and I'd love to see it move forward in new mediums.

... of not only writing for the world of Fighting Fantasy but also drawing for it.

I went on to write several more adventures as well as supply six pieces of art for 'Demons of Doom', which put me in a book with artists that I'd grown up with and considered heroes. It was an amazing moment.

The game that gave me my break into TTRPG game design was Advanced #FightingFantasy from @ariongames.bsky.social .

First I co-wrote 'Stellar Adventures', the sci-fi version of the game, and then went on to write and illustrate 'The Floating Dungeon of Varrak Aslur', fulfilling a childhood dream...

@ariongames.bsky.social just listened to you on @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social . I remember Maelstrom, will have to check if I've still got my original book. I never actually ran it but I remember how interesting the setting and system were. Have just picked up your PDF ver for some one-shot material

I backed the Norma/Saxon/Viking one and their models are fantastic and a huge bargain if they hit the stretch goals!

My younger son (assisted by his older brother) has just played his first Wargame. His humans/dwarfs and gnomes utterly trounced my goblins.
I will have to up my game next time...
