A review by inbetweenthelines
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain by Steve Jackson
4.0
Many Many years ago, when I was a wee little shitling (just turned 13). In the early 2000s, I saw a trailer for a book. This trailer to be exact:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZgDNuYgVcU
And it set me off on a journey of reading gamebooks - and getting me into TTRPGs.
This book to me is a classic. It's a maze of death in different ways BUT it is rewarding when you manage to do it. Plus I remember reading it with some paper and pencils drawing the map as I went along, I miss those days.
I enjoyed it so much that to this day I still have this book with the set I saved up for all of them years ago. The fact that I have managed to hold onto the set for nearly 19 years says something to me about a book/set.
