Now that Jamie and I are working on the Vulcanverse gamebooks (first two almost ready, since you asked) this seems like a good time to revisit our 2018 trip to Manticon with Paul Mason. Travelling and meeting up with other people, eh -- those were the days.
We gave two talks while we were there. Here's the breakdown of the one on gamebook history and design -- of all the gamebooks that we three had a hand in, that is:
07m 41s: Media outrage about gamebooks as too scary for kids
11m 31s: The Lord of Shadow Keep, originally planned as a Fighting Fantasy book
13m 27s: The Way of the Tiger
17m 22s: Blood Sword
19m 24s: 1980s roleplaying in the world of Tekumel
22m 30s: Fighting Fantasy books by Paul Mason
