Great books, Matthew!

 

Those Corben covers are pretty cool!

 

And do you have the D&D ones with the Tim Truman artwork?

[mintcollector]

Just a side note; these books are VERY collectible! I sold a lot of these for a lot of money; and some are worth more than others (sorry, but no price guide exists to my knowledge). That being said, these are my favorite childhood books and are a great read!

 

Respectfully,

Those D&D ones were awesome when i was a kid!

 

I know i still have at least 2, one with like a snow Giant on the front and another one i cant remember. I just saw them a couple months ago moving some boxes somewhere in the house

 

After a quick search, apparently i have Mountain of Mirrors, Dungeon of Dread and Pillars of Pentagarn. I seriously must have read each of those 5,000 times when i was a kid. I think i had Pillars of Pentagarn and dungeon of Dread memorized when i was like 10

Serious note, I loved the Jackson & Livingstone books, I believe I read/completed most of them. I wonder what happened to them... will have to go take a look in my loft.

Not really diggin' the way Trip started this thread

 

I couldn't disagree more.

In that case, It wouldn't do any good to explain why it was offensive and disrespectful. Just leave it at that.

I like to laugh and enjoy things. It makes it easier to laugh and enjoy things.

I don't have too many, but here are the rest of them. I went after the ones I really liked as a kid, and just pick up others when I stumble upon them.

 

cool news about a new FF book!

Sorry if I offended anyone..I just thought it was hilarious...

[Tatterdamillion]

Were the fighting fantasy books the ones where you had to keep track of hit points and supplies? I vaguely remember having hit points in some choose your own adventure books. I remember one book where you would have a heart attack if you were scared three times or some such. Pretty good stuff Matthew.

 

[shiverbones]

Yeah, the FF books were a dice game as well as a choose your own sort of thing, and they were my faves as a kid. The Black slime book I posted had the section with the possibility of a heart attack if you chose wrong 3 times.

Why the *spoon* did I let the kid fly the plane!

 

I remember checking those books out in my elementary school library and enjoyed the heck out of them. Which made it even funnier!
