Fighting Fantasy is the title given to a series of interactive novels also known as Gamebooks that were developed by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. They had a huge following during the 1980s and 1990s. The FF books were ground-breaking in their heyday as they provided the reader with the chance to enjoy a good fantasy story as well as, for the first time, allowing the reader to guide the direction of the story to one of numerous end variations.

What is so special about the Fighting Fantasy series of books is that in each and every book the reader participates and affects the outcome of story. The reader assumes the role of the main character in the story, from the beginning of the story to the end, by guiding their character down various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs. The basis of all the books is a written background that outlines the location of the story, the characters involved and the events that have taken place. As a reader follows the plot they are often given certain choices that have to be made as the game progresses.

These books are coming back into print.

This script rolls virtual Dungeons & Dragons dice in your terminal! Rolls use standard D&D die types (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 100) but custom die types can be used with a script option. Multiple rolls can be added together. Modifiers are added to the total roll by default but can be added to each die rolled using a script option. The Advantage and Disadvantage options allow to roll a roll twice and return only the highest or the lowest result. Results are printed in the terminal but can also be saved to a text file using a script option.

Each roll must be passed in argument using the following pattern: [dice quantity] + d + [die type] + [optional: modifier]

For example: 1d20+2 or 3d4-1 or 2d6
