Fighting Fantasy with A Knightmare Twist

My next Fighting Fantasy Campaign its A Solo Campaign and The GM had a idea

Every few years young commoners between 12 and 15 from very wealthy families can enter A
Fighting Fantasy Version of The Old Game Show Knightmare

The quests are very hard but so are the rewards for victory, A noble title, 2,000 Gold Coins worth of
both cash and valuables, 800 Gold Coins worth of belongings, 1D2+1 magic potions of healing, 1
Magic Shortsword, 1 Skill 8, Stamina 10 Pegasus, any stuff you get during the quest and the ability to
cast any Spells you get during the quest

The title or titles you get will depend on a mixture of how hard the quest and how well you did
during it, but at the very least the title is minor knight ruling a decent sized Fiefdom

You can even do multiple quests and if you win any quests before losing you keep the stuff from the
quests you won, sadly no matter how many quests you successfully complete you only get 1 +1 magic
Shortsword

My character is 1 of the few that won more then 1 quest, that gets him at least 2 noble titles 4,000
Gold Coins worth of both cash and valuables, 1,600 Gold Coins worth of belongings, 2D2+2 magic
potions, 2 Skill 8, Stamina 10 Pegasus, any stuff he got during the quests and the ability to cash any
Spells you get during the quests and 1 +1 magic Shortsword

Because I won when I was 13 and I became A adventurer when I was 19 I get 6 years worth of
earnings from my domain

Stat wise he's fairly good with Skill 11, Stamina 19, Luck 11, Faith 2, Honour 2, Resolve 9 and
Presence 5 and 12 Gold Coins and A Automatic Social Scale of 6

Even better is that I can and did get boosts to my secondary stats during the quests that where part
of my backstory

The quests will be based on those from The Gamebooks rather then those from The TV Show
because the quests will be based on those from The Gamebooks are a lot easier

Also

The GM's told me that if he has decided to change it from A Basic Fighting Fantasy RPG into A
Advanced Fighting Campaign

He has since switched it from A Basic Fighting Fantasy RPG into A Advanced Fighting Campaign

What do you think of the fact that he's said that in edition to the 11 points of Skills I get to choose
that because of my actions during the quests I will also get 1 point each in The Skills Darkseeing,
Healing, Leadership, Mounted Combat, Pacify, Sleight of Hand, Swim and Weapon -Lance and Sword

I also get 1 point in The Skill Magic without lowering my Skill Stat and without losing the ability to
boost my Skill Stat, I get 4 Stamina Cost worth of Spells rather then 3 Stamina cost worth of Spells
and the spells I get are automatically Fireball/1 Stamina Cost, Ignite/1 Stamina Cost, Light/1 Stamina
Cost and Strength/1 Stamina Cost

So

Here’s the character I’ve ended up with

I gained this in the 1st of my 3 Knightmare Quests and whenever I made a mistake I used this to go
back far enough to not make the mistake

The campaign

But 1st

Another GM I know has asked me to try a truly solo version of the advanced fighting fantasy RPG he
made, it doesn't even require A GM, it just requires the player to be completely honest

The GM that I created Alexander Nott for has agreed I can use Alexander in this truly solo advanced
fighting fantasy RPG he made, it doesn't even require A GM, it just requires the player to be
completely honest, was that a bad idea? I don't know, will it be fun?, yes

Adventure 1
Name

A advanced fighting fantasy version of Hills of Pheros

This is fun

Its going to be fun because since the 2 foes that if you kill them both guarantees you a title not being
the foes main and/or final foe, this is because the adventure doesn't have 1, I can one shot each of
them, separately of course, with A WYRMSLAYER Spell and get the title you get if you kill both with
ease

As it’s a solo truly solo advanced fighting fantasy RPG he made, it doesn't even require A GM, it just
requires the player to be completely honest I allow this
