Fighting Fantasy #8 – Scorpion Swamp (Part 2)

We’re back in Scorpion Swamp… and somehow still alive. After choosing our spells and quest in part one, we continue our journey through the swamp’s tangled paths, mysterious encounters, and increasingly suspicious characters. The map is becoming a mess, the dice are rarely turning against us, and we’re starting to realise this swamp might actually be trying to kill us... with kindness. This week brings more monsters, more laughs, and several moments where we confidently make choices that feel obviously... but are they actually terrible in hindsight? With multiple routes, hidden dangers, and no real clue who we should trust, the chaos levels are climbing rapidly. Will we find the bush and the berries? Will Andy stop trying to kill everything we see in order to take a trophy and wear it as a hat? Will Mike accidentally doom the entire adventure with his fate tempting comments? Honestly… who knows?.

Fighting Fantasy #8 – Scorpion Swamp (Part 1)

This week on the Old Mates New Laughs Podcast, we kick off our latest Fighting Fantasy adventure with one of the most unique gamebooks in the series — Scorpion Swamp. Known for its open-world style exploration, magical gems, and multiple quest paths, this swamp is packed with danger, confusion, and absolutely no clear sense of direction whatsoever. Armed with questionable instincts and a magic ring we barely understand, we head deep into the murky wilderness in search of adventure… and probably an early death. Expect suspicious strangers, terrible navigation, swamp creatures that definitely shouldn’t exist, and the usual amount of panic and laughs! Will we survive the opening stages? Will we make sensible choices? Or will we immediately wander into disaster? Grab your provisions and prepare to get lost in the swamp 🎲 If you're enjoying what we're doing and want to help us grow — our goal is to of become an on-camera podcast — you can now support us via Ko-Fi (totally optional, massively appreciated), here's the link should you feel inclined... https://ko-fi.com/oldmatesnewlaughs You can also follow us on our social media accounts here...

Fighting Fantasy #7 – The Island of the Lizard King (Part 2)

We’re back in The Island of the Lizard King… and somehow, we’re still alive. In Part 2, we head deeper into the adventure — where the dangers increase, the stakes get higher, and our decision-making continues to be questionable at best. After making it through the early stages, we now face tougher challenges, stranger encounters, and the growing feeling that this might not end well. Will we turn things around? Or are we heading straight for disaster? There's only one way to find out!!
