Creating Games Workshop & Fighting Fantasy | Steve Jackson In Conversation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- In conversation with the truly legendary Steve Jackson we talk about founding Games Workshop in the 70s, starting White Dwarf, working with Bryan Ansell as his Citadel team created Warhammer, co-writing Fighting Fantasy with Sir Ian Livingstone, and creating cutting edge interactive storytelling over the phone with Steve Jackson's F.I.S.T (Fantasy Interactive Scenarios by Telephone!)
This was a huge joy for me to film and a conversation I never thought I’d get to have - a magical opportunity for which I am very grateful. Thank you to Steve and to everyone who has supported the channel that has allowed me to do this work!

Outstanding! This old Yank thanks you!
What a fun and wonderful and insightful interview!
I truly hopes he knows how much he influenced the world over with fantasy gaming (solo and otherwise) and not just the UK!
Cheers, everyone!
This is astoundingly great work you are doing for the history of the hobby
You’re very kind! It was a real pleasure and privilege to chat with Steve, I was just happy to be there!
You are getting so close to the top, Jordan. When are you going to interview James Workshop himself?
If only I can track him down!
Just wait until they release a new Votann Codex and they’ll wheel him out to apologise for it again!
@@jordansorceryplease find and interview Nigel Stillman🙏
The man, the myth, the poor guy my ignorant American self confused with the Steve Jackson of Steve Jackson Games....and I owe so much to both of them. But for Steve Jackson of the UK, thank you so much for Sorcery and Fighting Fantasy! And thank you, Jordan, for this interview!
Given as the US Steve Jackson did write some of the later Fighting Fantasy books you can see how getting them mixed up was/is really common.
@@SuperFunkmachineAbsolutely, and I owned some authored by both.
I had no idea they were different people! And to think *another* guy with the same name wrote some of the same series? What are the odds?
Steve Jackson presents a book written by Steve Jackson was one of the Reavers best riddles!
I had no idea they were two different people!
Thanks so much Jordan putting this video together. Your interview technique really helps bring out the best from the interviewee and your channel is quickly becoming an invaluable resource in cataloguing the memories of those involved in the formative years of GW.
Steve was utterly charming, a truly wonderful interview, Jordan, thank you! (I think Steve enjoyed it too!)
Thank you Steven & Jordan *_Both (!)_* What a terrific Interview & recounting of GW~&~FF's early days. Love the Oldhammer+ History
(" Ahh, Those Were The Good Ol' Days....When War Was Really Something....." ~ Ollenius Persson
Thank you so much for making this happen. Steve's FF books still hold a very special place in my memories of my childhood. I had never heard him speak until now - what a truly down to earth and inspirational gentleman he is.
Some of my earliest entries into fantasy roleplay was warlock of firetop mountain! I still have that old first edition copy proudly on my shelf!
Wonderful interview Jordan. Listening to Steve is like sitting down to reminisce with a favourite uncle, an absolute pleasure.
STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a joy to see hi!m! He hardly ever does interviews!
Great video. I wonder if Jervis Johnson would like to do one.
I would love to chat with Jervis one day
Another fantastic interview.
Another cracking interview, well done! I remember traveling to London, from South Africa, and seeing him in a games workshop warehouse we had pleaded with my parents to visit! Sorry I didn’t get his autograph!
Also….this old Yank is just sitting here the whole time with an ear-to-ear smile the entire time! 😁
(Redundant, yes, but, so what….)
I don't know who I would be without British fantasy games and British Heavy Metal music; two things that came out of the 70's and 80's. And this man, right here, is an originator that should be celebrated alongside other cultural icons of his day. It was just entertainment for young lads back then, but it went on to inform our lives, our thinking and our character.
Great interview. I experienced the same joy you did, expressed by the same big smile on my face.
Excellent interview Jordan, thank you. I hope Steve knows just how much impact he's had on so many people's lives.
Brilliant stuff!
Thanks!
Wow, what a privilege to hear Steve's account, good work Jordan 👍
Fantastic interview, what a great man Steve is. And thanks for these interviews with these people who created the hobby which became such a major part of my life. Have a drink on me (White Dwarf prices not Own & Weasel prices!).
Thanks so much, Paul. Really appreciate the support
Jordan, this is such an amazing effort of archival and verbal history you're doing, thank you 💕!
I’m enjoying the chiasmus S J J S - very nice :-)
Jordan, you are a fantastic human being. Thanks for this!
Thanks for a great interview! Would be great to get another FF book from Steve.
Looks like his latest FF book was in 2022 Secrets of Salamonis. The FF site says this was his first book in 36 years.
Will watch later, but liking and commenting for lord algor. Looking forward to this one!
How was it in the end, getting to experience Steve Jacksons FIST?😉
Great video Jordan well done!
Thank you!
Just thought I'd post again - Steve, if you're reading these would LOVE another fighting fantasy book colab by you and Johnathon! Secrets of Salamonis was SO GOOD and SO INNOVATIVE, and it would be really interesting to see what you come up with next, even if you want to leave Sorcerty as it is!
Best dude and much love.
Thanks!!!
Amazing
You're talking to people who filled my imagination as I become an adult
Splendid interview yet again Jordan, keep it up lad :)
what a great interview, your channel is great usually and this is just superb ^_^
Steve was fantastic to chat to! Thanks for the kind words
My mate (probably 10 at the time) got their phone cut off temporarily by running up a massive bill playing FIST lol, i totally forgot about that until now. I was worried by the per minute cost and he'd been on it for hours on an upstairs phone. Great video.
Wow what a kegend! So cool to see him still gaming a lot!
Holy crap!
Please tell me he's going to some more FF books!
Sorcery V!!!!!
That would be great!
My god that was painfully boring, unfortunately. His manner of speech is unbearable and he is so rambly and such a terrible story teller. Incredible how he can be a good writer but not be able to talk as well.
The indignities of age?
@@eviesandston4273 possibly. Doesn't change the facts though.
The man is 72, he's probably forgotten more than you have ever known. I would like to hear you retell a story from 40+ years ago, with perfect recall.
@@countquackulon3004 emotional reasoning aside, did you enjoy the story and delivery?
@@30035XDyes I did
