Years ago I said to a fellow FF reader "did you actually use dice then? I just ignored that an automatically won" - received a look of total digust and "OF COURSE I USED DICE THATS THE POINT" in return.

I also tried writing my own Fighting Fantasy book at the age of 12 and tied myself in knots before I ripped it up in a tantrum.

Assumed most people graduated straight on to jazz mags and swapped fantasy world for another.

I started writing my own, too. What made me stop was realising how jumbled-up and nonsensical the 'scenarios' in those books were. (We only played Tunnels and Trolls for a short time before upgrading to MERP/Rolemaster.)

We always used dice when playing the books and dutifully started from the beginning again when we got killed.

Anyway, this thread is meant to be about wargaming. :)
