[QUOTE="Beretta, post: 1397498, member: 12260"] I sure do - they were my introduction to D&D. When I was 10 I had AU$10 pocket-money and was looking for something to read. I was in the bookstore and was looking at the old Choose your Own Adventure books but the ones on display I had read from the school library. There were some similar ones nearby with a green spine; I had a look at a few and I guess the cover of Demons of the Deep must have won me over (I think it cost me AU$6 - it's hard to get a decent book for less than $18 now). In the years from then I collected up to Stealer of Souls (or something); by then I was in University and my reading tastes had matured, so I stopped picking them up. I wish I had got them all now. Two years from buying that first book I changed schools and noticed a couple of others reading books from the series and from that new friendships were born. One had an older brother that played D&D - I borrowed some of them and then went out to get my own Basic D&D Red Box. I enjoyed those books then as much as I enjoy D&D now - I owe what became many future friendships to the Fighting Fantasy books. [/QUOTE]
