Looks good Bifford!

Nearly finished some dragon pictures to go with my monster article.

I made a 'Beyond the Pit' folder in the above link and uploaded the document as a PDF and DOC, plus the Palatino and Moria Citadel fonts used. Currently working on the art.

The Beyond the Pit article is almost done. Where do I send/upload it?

Also, I'm going to try and sort the art out for it too. Hopefully finished soon.

Hopefully it won't take as long as Return to the Pit! What it looks like so far: Chapter 1: Intro. Using pre-existing skills/talents/rules plus 6 new archetypes. DONE Chapter 2: Treasure generation system including new Creature Treasure Table (treasure split into Coins, Gear, Treasure, Magic), plus ...

I was thinking of working on the Monster/Pit section this weekend. Something suitably weird, epic, and non-canon: CHAOS DRAGONS! Specifically, Yellow (acid breathers, swamps and marshes), Orange (wind breathers, deserts and wilderness) and Purple (mutant-plague infectors, chaos wastes, deep jungle, ...

Another game that just got published is Warlock! which is a mash-up of Fighting Fantasy and Warhammer FRP 1e:

Thanks for the responses and offers of editing! :-) Once it's done, I will take you up on them. It will hopefully be the first in a series of magic compendiums (maybe a little bigger than the Herbal but smaller than Beyond the Pit) Some answers to questions: The items are from the first 10 books in ...

Ironically, I'm currently working on a magic items book for AFF which will have a summary of all the Medicinal Potion/Blimberry Juice info in it. In fact I'll be adding entries on all Sorcery! components, as for example, you can Green-Furred Wigs in RAP and YAP spells but in the original FF RPG ther...

Hi Damian,

I don't think there's an official map of Chalice. The best place for info is Titannica here:

https://fightingfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Chalice

I also found 2 fan maps (based on Port of Peril, which has the most Chalice info) on FB here (by James Kail and Dave Gillson)

Hope that helps!

I'm working on a magic items book right now!

Any particular monsters we want to see for the Pit section of this issue? Tempted to go completely non-canon and do something totally new for some obscure corner of Titan.

I'm happy to help out too, doing whatever. I can do a OOTP section or a background section, or whatever, really. Let me know what you want me to do. :-) Don't do solos - they're huge and intensive. Fighting Fantazine does them and there should be a new issue of that coming out soonish. (There was al...

Hi, yep, the Herbal Distribution tables were intentionally designed as 3d6 bell-curve tables to mirror the Encounter Table format in Out of the Pit and Beyond the Pit. Generally, the rare/dangerous/valuable monsters/plants should be the most difficult to encounter. Obviously, if you're only using th...

Will be there, finally!

It will be great to meet you!

Totally! You going to the Beer-O thingamajig the night before?

Glad people like it! I had a lot of fun writing it, but there were times when I wasn't sure it would be finished. In the end it took 3 years to write and added up 125K words, of which 20K was the Ultimate Monster Index, so almost double Beyond the Pit. The damage thing - for both books I just went w...
