Graham Bottley | Advanced Fighting Fantasy Designer

In Conversation with Jordan Sorcery

Advanced Fighting Fantasy Publisher Graham Bottley in conversation with Jordan Sorcery.
Fighting Fantasy gamebooks have had an incredible legacy - ever since that we found that Warlock at Firetop Mountain we’ve gone back into the dungeons, forests, cities, islands, and everything else that Fighting Fantasy has had to offer.
In the 80s there was an initial attempt to create a roleplaying game based on the world, adventures, and enemies from the gamebooks, but it wasn’t until Arion Games released a second edition of the RPG in 2011 that the system really took off.
My guest today is responsible for resurrecting the Advanced Fighting Fantasy RPG, commissioning, writing, and publishing the entire game line, and most recently creating a brand new Advanced Fighting Fantasy boardgame - Dark Dungeons. We talk about honouring the legacy of what has come before, the methods and approaches to building a new game in an old world, and the business of RPG publishing in the modern marketplace.
