About This Game Only the foolhardy would risk an encounter with the unknown perils that lurk in the murky depths of Darkwood Forest. Yet there is no alternative, for your quest is a desperate race against time to find the missing pieces of the legendary Hammer of Stonebridge – fashioned by Dwarfs to protect the villagers of Stonebridge against their ancient doom.Computer gaming was in its infancy and it was the early days of tabletop RPGs when Ian Livingstone's The Forest of Doom exploded into bookshops in the early 80s, proudly displaying Iain McCaig’s iconic cover.Relive the adventures in Darkwood Forest, lovingly updated for PC, Mac and Linux. Presented in full colour with realistic physics-based dice rolling for battles, auto-mapping, an auto-updated adventure sheet and stat keeping.This Standalone edition of The Forest of Doom gamebook comes specially themed to suit the adventure. The Forest of Doom is also available to purchase within the Fighting Fantasy Classics library. Please note that purchasing one does not unlock the other and will need to be re-purchased if desired in the other format. 7aa9394dea Title: The Forest of Doom (Standalone)Genre: Adventure, Indie, RPGDeveloper:Tin Man GamesPublisher:Tin Man GamesFranchise:Fighting FantasyRelease Date: 30 Oct, 2014 The Forest Of Doom (Standalone) Free Download [key Serial Number] While this game could have easily coasted by on nostaglia, I'm very impressed with the work that went into the presentation. Where do I start? The music is decent - not my cup of tea, though some may enjoy it (it's certainly thematic). All of the old artwork has been not only retained, but enhanced with color, and (in the case of the main menu screen, and perhaps others I haven't seen yet) subtle animation. The parchment-style rendering of the text is a nice touch.The interface is easy to use, and the creators understand their users. The game supports the use of unlimited bookmarks to simulate how you used your fingers back in the old days! The graphics and sound effects further enhance the atmosphere of the game, although they aren't obtrusive on what is simply a text-based game. The game comes with extras written by co-creator Ian Livingstone himself, about the history of Fighting Fantasy and the creation of Forest of Doom.Anyway, I appreciate the TLC that Tin Man and Livingstone brought to the project. I hope this makes enough money that we see more of these. I can't wait until Deathtrap Dungeon, Freeway Fighter, and other alliterative titles are released! Also, the Sorcery! series...keep em coming, guys.. 6.1 hrs on recordAHH FEEL THE NOSTALGIA!As a child growing up in the 80's and being a big reader it was a labour of love saving up money to buy every fighting fantasty book as they came out. This was my first purchased fighting fantasy book so it still holds a special place in my heart. Forest of Doom was in the typical setting of most of the fighting fasntasy books. Tin Man games has done a great job of transferring this book to the computer. If you enjoyed fighting fantasy books back in the day then I highly reccommend you pick this up for your self or your children.. And I'm 12 again, on an autumn afternoon, drinking root beer and having fun in an Ian LIvingstone story and - it's wonderful. Trust no one and let the dice fall where they may!5\/5.. As an avid Fighting Fantasy and Gamebook collector, I was very pleased to see that this was available on Steam and purchased it during the Halloween Sale. Playing the game was both a nostalgic delight and a fun, exciting interactive experience slightly reminiscent of playing "Citadel of Chaos" on the C64 many years ago. TinMan Games have done a fantastic job of reproducing Ian Livingstone's classic extremely faithfully; I was able to find my old maps and utilise them to complete the game in around an hour. Combat rolls are represented with actual dice; white for the player and red for the monsters, enabling a quickly understood and resolved outcome. The musical track is suitably atmospheric and doesn't outlive its welcome. I very much like the inclusion of a "Hardcore mode" for experienced players where no provisions are allowed and initial player statistic rolls are lessened. (You get only 1d6+4 for your skill stat for example...) this added a dimension of challenge to a familiar story. However, amusingly I ran into a bug at the encounter with "Quin the Arm-Wrestler" and found myself with 68 stamina going into the next encounters, which trivialised reaching the conclusion of the book. It was a pleasure to support the developers and I look forward to seeing more of their work. Recommended to Gamebook, Fighting Fantasy fans and those looking for an interactive reading and single player role-playing experience.. An adventure to be had!Worth a couple of hours full of adventure through a forest that almost took my life several times over in hard core mode.A short book but It'll be one that I actually read. More over very action packed and leaves you to think before you choose.Dice rules stick to the classic.Although the book doesn't have many visual on several other beasts, you could add custom visuals for the game itself.For those of you who do not like to manually save your game I suggest you Free Read mode (Cheats). Although I recommend this game for its fun and unique storytelling, I must include a word of warning.This game is short. Although you'll undoubtably have to play it through four or five times before you see everything, it's still a very short game with little content. The creatures are stereotypical of this genre, but you must remember this is based on an old novel from the days of D&D. We didn't have the crazy monsters which we have now.I'm not sure if the game is worth the money I paid, even if that amount was lower due to a Steam sale. I expected this game to be as long as a Tolkien novel with thousands of different paths and events. This is more like a single chapter.In the end, I do recommend it for a quick play through, but wish I had referenced the game before purchasing. At least to the game's credit it offers a free-roaming option so that I may re-read every possible option without fighting.. I still have a lot of the Fighting Fantasy books from when I was a kid, and to see them in a new format is a joy.Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, The Forest of Doom is a real gem.I look forward to seeing more adaptaions, especially if they're as well done as this one.10\/10. To those who made this game possible, I thank you. I loved this book when I was growing up. Pros: + Kept true to the original paper book+ Beautifully done graphica and animation+ I can't fault the playability. I just know I'm going to be playing this through several times. :) Cons: - There aren't anymore of these yet (that I know of at the time of writing this)- The only other con is that I can't sing the praises of this game loud enough to do it justice. :P Best $13AUD I've spent. Highly recommended and I can't wait to purchase future games based on the other Ian Livingstone \/ Steve Jackson books. I eagerly await them! 482 wishlists. 42 days until release. 12.05% toward goal.: Have you wishlisted our new game yet?

Faerie Solitaire Cards Repaint: First repaint of the cards is done (I've been wanting to do this for over a year+): http://i.imgur.com/KpO3I.pngNote: The sizes of the art on the top are the full sizes, but they will be scaled down a bit to the bottom sizes so that they fit better on the cards. This art is not final. If you see anything which bugs you please let me know so I can fix it. I see a bunch of stuff which I want to improve on, but overall I'm pleased with the improvements.New full size is 750x1070 vs the old full size of 75x107. These cards are 75x107. The new full sized cards will make it possible to display the cards in game at larger sizes without losing detail. Also, I made sure to paint them at a large enough size to allow me to get some real decks of cards printed! :D As soon as I get the cards perfect I'll make it possible to buy real decks of FS cards for a limited of time..
