This is particularly exciting for me as the original Fable game was perhaps my first introduction to fantasy role playing games, and from there to tabletop role playing like Dungeons and Dragons. So my father-in-law wants to play an RPG with me. The idea of Fighting Fantasy was a sort of cross between Dungeons & Dragons and Choose Your Own Adventure, creating a solo adventure experience for young role-players everywhere to waste time during recess or study hall when a group of friends were not available. It's nowhere near the best, but it works terrifically as the introduction to an RPG.

The series would go on for nearly sixty books, although by the '90s it had been pretty well eclipsed (and rendered all-but-obsolete) by computer games. Board games such as HeroQuest, or the Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf books often serve as a gateway to Tabletop RPG gaming. Free adventures and character stats, campaign and design ideas, write ups of RPG game sessions, and of course a good rant from time to time. I don't think he nows about the narrative part of it Skills: Fighting d8, Guts d8, Notice d4. Well, maybe that's an overstatement, but I have yet to meet somebody who has been introduced to an RPG without getting a rules lecture ahead of time who has not enjoyed himself. Another Savage Worlds Fantasy Introduction Adventure. Ian Livingstone would later write Dicing with Dragons – An Introduction to Role-playing Games.
