Critic reviews

"[E]xactly what you’d want a drama based on the Fighting Fantasy series to be.... The tale nails the feel of the Fighting Fantasy series perfectly." (Starburst Magazine)

The Traditional Fantasy audio drama I wanted

About 15 years ago I tried to create a traditional fantasy audio drama series in college but couldn’t get the funding or participation that I needed to make it work. This is exactly how I envision a perfect realization of my original idea. Fighting Fantasy Audio Dramas are a continuing, serial story arc with interesting traditional fantasy characters including Elves, Dwarves goblins, Orc’s, wizards,warlocks and many other Tolkienesque / D&D tropes. It is very well written, very well conceived, very well acted and overall very well realized. I also felt a hint of nostalgia hearing David Warner‘s incredible voice again after spending hundreds of hours with him in the classic PC RPG Baldur’s Gate II as the mysterious Jon Irenicus. If you like D&D - you should really try the first of these audio dramas and see if it sucks you in like it did me.
