Choose-your-own-adventure style RPG Fighting Fantasy was a UK obsession in the '80s, and it's finally coming to the US

Covers of the new Fighting Fantasy books.

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.

Over the years, Fighting Fantasy titles have accrued something of a cult following, sitting alongside some of the best tabletop RPGs in terms of popularity. Aside from a long legacy – with the first book in the series having been published back in 1982 – Fighting Fantasy novels have enjoyed global popularity with their multi-million-selling classic book series, despite being widely unavailable outside of the UK.
