Season 1 Nerds in Babeland has a nice introduction and interview with the producers. It's a two-parter, with summaries of Part 1 It's annoying because it ties into the toxic masculinity that REAL MEN are out playing sports or getting in fights or shooting animals or trolling for ass. The rule book is a tad confusing and will having you flicking between pages like a Fighting Fantasy novel, but hidden within it is a surprisingly deep 1 to 6 player game of order giving, formation management and combat. Introduction First, some history. Standard Action is a fantasy-comedy webseries dealing with a number of topics—everything from dealing with the barbarian's outbursts to what happens when you split the party. This adventure, titled “The Well†, was the first adventure in the original Fighting Fantasy role-playing game (also from 1984, not a solo game book) and I have played it a few times with people just for kicks. I don't care about the distinction, really, but I think Murderous Ghosts really is more like a Fighting Fantasy game book with a GM, rather than an RPG per se. I would rate the game 4/5 for both substance and style using RPGnet's reviewing system. Fabled Lands was a series of gamebooks released in 1995 and 1996, right at the end (or even after) the solo gamebook era. So, since there is no need to create characters, a group can just pick up these rules, read through the basic explanation of combat and tests and then start playing the introductory adventure included. But Steve Jackson didn't leave the idea of an introductory role-playing game in the past. The Fighting Fantasy series had five books aimed at teaching people how to run and play tabletop RPGs. It was unique It was a sandbox fantasy RPG campaign turned into a gamebook. Much like the parents of ye olden times who wouldn't name a child until it first ran a multi-year gauntlet of smallpox exposure, famine, and spear-related accidents, I tend to save the introduction/mission statements for any given new Fighting Fantasy ended up being a direct gateway into “real” role-playing games, but not before I'd stripped out its simple system of stats and dice rolls in order to create solo adventures to try out on my little brother and a couple of friends. Probably the closest thing we've had to a true fighting game/RPG hybrid is Dissidia Final Fantasy, which was definitely an interesting spinoff with some solid RPG elements, but couldn't really be called a traditional fighter. Now Playing the game means reading the introductory text, and then navigating your hero along a nicely rendered game map (the hero looks like an RPG miniature, complete with base) to story points. Long, long ago, before we had smartphones or apps or even 8-bit gaming consoles, game designer Steve Jackson released Fighting Fantasy, a series of single-player paper RPGs that played something like a Choose Your Own Adventure book , but with more rules. Unfortunately Dragon Warriors, Lone Wolf Multiplayer Games and Advanced Fighting Fantasy have all returned to the RPG hobby. Fighting Fantasy (The Introductory Role-playing Game) was written by Steve Jackson in 1984 and published alongside the more regular FF gamebooks (Warlock, Citadel etc.). For over ten years, the crew of Dungeon Master has performed roleplaying games with a party of audience members testing their knowledge and wits against a new scenario each week. It's a radio show called Castles and Cauldrons, with a special introduction from James Dobson, warning you kiddies about the dangers of those role-playing games and their non-Christian magic and mysticism, which will lead them into contact with demons and satanism.
