[edit] Richard Corben Images?
I really dislike the fact that this article shows a bunch of relatively insignificant cover changes of the various editions of one of the books, but there is no example of a Richard Corben cover. Those are the covers I am most familiar with (at least, living in the United States) and have fond childhood memories of. Not that I dislike the original covers, but I thinks it's important to show at least one of the Richard Corben covers since they are so stylistically different. --RainbowWerewolf 04:13, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
There was one, which I removed, basically because it forced the gallery onto two lines and made the layout 'less pretty' - which was perhaps a bit of a poor reason for doing that! That section of the article is a pretty chunky block of text, perhaps it would be good to add a US cover as a regular image to pretty it up a bit. EvilRedEye 12:04, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Right, I've added the original cover of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain and the American cover to the section. Is this alright? EvilRedEye 12:35, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Archive
I've archived the previous discussions. (EvilRedEye 18:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC))
[edit] first or not first - whatever!
I found the following in the heading introduction: "Despite common claims to the contrary, Fighting Fantasy was not the very first series of gamebooks. The gamebook format used in Fighting Fantasy was previously seen in a series of solitaire adventures released for the Tunnels and Trolls role-playing game, the first of which was Buffalo Castle [1]. "
It has no place in that prominent location, so I moved it down into the "Importance" section. I can add I don't like the tone of it, but I have kept it completely unchanged (in its new location).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Original logo.gif
Image:Original logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:46, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Role of luck in game system
This a very minor point, but in the "System" section on the page, failing a Luck test does not *always* have negative consequences. If I remember rightly, it's impossible to complete Siege of Sardath without failing a luck test near the beginning. For this reason, I changed the statement that says failing a luck test has "invariably negative" consequences to having "almost invariably negative" consequences. Okay, so I'm bored! 86.53.69.81 (talk) 13:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
