message: "Like many other Ian Livingstone Fighting Fantasy books, such as Deathtrap Dungeon and Temple of Terror, Island of the Lizard King has multiple paths which lead to the final confrontation, though only one which provides all the items required for success." - This isn't actually true. The book can be completed by taking any path. All that is needed for the final confrontation is either a Fire Sword or a Monkey. It's impossible to get to the final confrontation without coming across the monkey, so (theoretically at least) any path is plausible, though some are obviously better than others.

message: I have completed this book having only accumulated 6 Fear points.  Under no circumstances is this sufficient to frighten you to death, therefore the inability to complete info is inaccurate.

thread_title: Talk:House of Hell

message: I've changed the cover from the American version to the British version, because
a) It's a British book by British authors, so I feel we should use the British cover
b) Consistency. Every other article on the books uses the British Puffin covers.

message: I'm giving this article a going-over to bring it in line with the rest of the series.  Are there any objections to the removal of the lists, which I consider to be completely unnecessary? Euchrid 15:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: This comment was left on the page. I've changed the article accordingly but obviously I couldn't leave it there so I've reproduced it here:
( Note from Dave Carson, interior illustrator : None of the illustrations were "banned". Puffin just thought one or two were rather gruesome and decided against using them.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by EvilRedEye (talk • contribs) 11:50, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I've given a summary of the book and its links to Moonrunner and the never-written third book.  Hope people like it.
Can someone provide a .jpg of the cover (I don't have a scanner)? —WebDrake 21:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

message: == Mudworm printing error ==
This resulted in a long-running enmity between Mason and Gascoigne, with Mason considering the editor to have essentially ruined his book.
I removed this statement since it has been in the article for a long time but yet, no source has been supplied supporting the proposition that Mason and Gascoigne had a long-running enmity due to the error. However, if someone can supply a reference that can support this, please don't hesitate to add it once more.--Auger Martel 06:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good man.  If you look on the former Fighting Fantasy site (via the internet archive), there's an interview with Mason where he describes Gascoigne's edit to the Mudworm.  It's clear he's pretty pissed off about it, but no justification for "long-running enmity" or whatever. —WebDrake 12:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mudworm printing error 

message: It should also be noted that this book has an awesome reference to the "Friday The 13th" Films. 
A long time nemesis of yours named Conrad is killed and then hit by lighting. He sits up, dons a nearby hockey mask (dubbed a "war mask") and proceeds to stalk you throughout the book slaughtering everyone in his way.
Conrad cannot be killed, mereley slowed by besting him in combat. However if you lure him to the docks you can chain him to a boulder and throw him under the lake just like in Friday The 13th Part 6.
== Rewrite ==
I've made something of a major rewrite of the article, expanding on the storyline and the relationship to Legend of the Shadow Warriors.  I've also added the Friday the 13th reference, along with one to Halloween, since Conrad the Maniac Guard seems to me to mix characteristics of both Jason and Michael Myers.
We need a citation for the projected 3rd book that Stephen Hand was to write.  An interview on the former www.advancedfightingfantasy.com website (before the Wizard Books site took over) contained it, but I haven't been able to find it yet (the Internet Archive is down).
Hope people like the work!  Now I'm going to put in something for Legend of the Shadow Warriors... —WebDrake 20:15, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, following the lack of response on this subject, and as discussed on Talk:List of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, I am reverting this change.  If the (anonymous) editor who added this material can provide appropriate supporting evidence, I will reconsider. —WebDrake 00:54, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Alright, I've made the article. I don't make many, so if I've done anything wrong please fix it. I figure even if we can only make a very basic article to start with, its worth making so other people can build on it. I don't know how to add a picture, so could someone do that? Peace.
