After starting !gamebooks@feddit.uk I have started hunting out my old books which are, presumably, in a box in the garage awaiting unpacking after last year's move. I have found the maps I made for some of the Fighting Fantasy books as well as my attempts to write my own, which made me smile - it was a doomed effort doing it in notebooks as opposed ti some kind of card system (or however it was done back in the day) but I gave it my best shot and persisted far longer than was sensible. I also found maps I created, I think of the setting, and I did them as contour maps for reasons that elude me other than I like a good contour map. I am looking forward to perusing this all and trying to figure out what my young self was thinking.
