- BREAKING NEWS: Crypt Re-opened - 8 June 2025
CHALICE, MOONSTONE HILLS – In breaking news, local authorities have confirmed that the sealed tomb of infamous necromancer Razaak has been "accidentally disturbed" by an as-yet-unidentified group of amateur adventurers, gold-diggers, or possibly drunk hedge wizards.The fissure — described as “smelling like rotting ambition and burnt toast” — reportedly erupted with foul vapours and a skeletal hand flipping off a passing Giant Eagle. One Elf barely survived the encounter, and is now recovering at the Lion Inn on a strict diet of soup, grog, and trauma therapy.“It’s exactly what I warned people about,” muttered reclusive wizard and known herb enthusiast Yaztromo. “You let one idiot open a cursed sarcophagus 110 years early and boom — there goes the kingdoms.”The undead crisis, dubbed "CryptStorm" by local media, has sparked panic-buying of healing potions, talismans, and pre-owned swords.…

- A big-ish update coming soon! - 16 January 2025
Hello adventurers! We have an update that we'll be pushing up in the next week or so that brings some QoL improvements to Fighting Fantasy Classics, particularly if you're playing your gamebooks on a Steam Deck. 1) New Save System Support has been added for three adventure profiles per FF gamebook.

We'll also be giving you the ability to delete your bookmarks too, a regularly requested feature! You'll also be able to delete an adventure profile, if you feel you've wandered too far down one of Ian or Steve's notorious story dead-ends. 2) Controller Support We're making full use of modern controllers, with a mind to making the game more playable on your handheld device of choice, or using controllers on your computer.

- FFC is coming to the Steam Deck! - 13 November 2024
One of the most popular requests we get is whether we can push out a "proper" build of Fighting Fantasy Classics on the Steam Deck. It's a great platform for handheld gaming, and seeing as the FF books were technically some of the very first on-the-go games for Gen Xers back in the 80s, it's a perfect fit. We're currently adding in controller support as well as updating FFC's saving system to allow for multiple save slots per book. We're also adding in cloud saving, which is obviously super important for FF fans playing on their computer and Steam Deck. A new build will be pushed out in a couple of weeks and we'll then request deck verification from the Steam gods. There will also be an announcement in the next few weeks about new FF titles coming to the library! If you follow the TMG channels on X or Discord, you may already have seen a few clues! ːwarlockorcː
