You should hear me talking about Silver Age Marvel comics or the Empire of the Petal Throne.<br /><br />Wrt Kindle - we'll do more if there's demand. Like every other FL-related thing, it has to wait until I have a free weekend. But between that, FL8, Blood Sword 5, The Eye of the Dragon, more large-format FL books, and maybe apps... phew, that could keep me busy for a few years' worth of spare weekends!Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-54521842780222789872016-03-09T02:16:45.658+00:002016-03-09T02:16:45.658+00:00Right on!

I just came across Fabled Lands on Kindle but there is only War-Torn Kingdom so I went to ebay and purchased a large format copy of War-Torn Kingdom and Cities of Gold and Glory also large format with a blister pack containing a set of dice. Is there plans for Kindle version of the other books? Sorry so many questions I am just really stoked about Fabled Lands. In fact I was so blown away that I had to tell my cousin and nephew about it. My cousin Mandy is wanting to borrow my War-Torn Kingdom book when it arrives (just ordered it two days ago which was two days after buying the Kindle version) because I have a ebook copy. I will quit rambling on now. Sorry I am very excited to have found Fabled Lands! <br /><br /><br /> Thank you for creating such a wonderful world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427155533720967142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-5919810724797395542016-03-08T14:39:58.770+00:002016-03-08T14:39:58.770+00:00Book 7 is not out *yet*, Graumann, but it's on...Book 7 is not out *yet*, Graumann, but it's on its way.

Please tell me number 7 is not the LAST book. I wish there was other book series created in the same fashion. Thank you for creating Fabled Lands and for putting out book 7.

We did have high hopes that a series of apps would tip the scales, but the new app series we announced in 2011 (and expected to appear in mid-2012) never happened.<br /><br />We haven't given up, but we need to find a way to make FL pay for itself. Maybe there just aren't enough gamebook fans out there, but my gut feeling is that apps and/or videogames could be the series' salvation.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-73057594305953537092013-08-17T03:40:45.150+01:002013-08-17T03:40:45.150+01:00Just ordering the whole set from Amazon.

Did they even sell enough for 5 and 6 to be reprinted?<br />This is my favorite gamebook series too, and I am so curious what could have been for the later half of the series to be written with open world gaming beeing more popular then ever (thanks to The elder Scrolls series and general MMO popularity).<br />To anyone reading this I can also recommend the Destiny Quest book, which will have a followup coming out later this year: its excellent too, although it lacks the exploration feeling of Fabled Lands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-88162105380209588182011-03-09T14:38:24.479+00:002011-03-09T14:38:24.479+00:00Okay, I've downloaded the single Adventure she...Okay, I've downloaded the single Adventure sheet and the 4 maps however there is no second sheet for the codewords and ship's manifest.

Unfortunately I never owned 1-3 and it never occured to me until recently to look about online for them, I'd been playing the FLapp and it got me back into it. Now seeing that I can buy 1-3 makes me incredibly happy, and ontop of that to see that there is even a chance of you guys doing 7-12 makes me squee. I wanted to give you guys a big thank you for even considering coming back to this series, and for writing it in the first place! I know you've kept a lot of people over the years entertained and inspired with one of the most unique series ever.<br />I think i'll recommend them to EVERYONE I know that would even remotely listen to me, as well as posting them on forums and so on.<br />Now that I'm done sucking up and having my favourite-gamebook-authors-fangirl moment, I wonder if you'd perhaps be able to post up a downloadable and printable copy of the adventure/character sheet?

I can honestly say that I think the Fabled Lands series was one of THE best things to come out of the 90s - pure genius Dave and Jamie. Thanks for writing them - they gave me months and months of pleasure all those years ago. I always wanted the series to be completed though as although you can do an awful lot in the first 6 books, there is equally a lot more that you can't do without 'the missing links' of books 7 to 12. I had virtually given up hope of ever seeing books 7 to 12, but now I have renewed hope. Please, please release books 7 to 12! I know it needs to be profitable as you guys aren't a charity, but I would personally pay a small fortune to you both if I were able buy them. You can't put a price on something as unique and brilliant as the Fabled Lands! Anyway I think I've made it clear now that I'm a fan. I'll do my bit now and add a 5 star review to amazon.Colinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-42880737112601071492010-12-27T21:27:52.815+00:002010-12-27T21:27:52.815+00:00As said before, the Mantikoreverlag aims to rerele...As said before, the Mantikoreverlag aims to rerelease Sagaland.
