Citadel of Chaos is the campaign conversion of The Citadel of Chaos for the Advanced Fighting Fantasy system, written by Brett Schofield.

Background[]

“ Who knows what monstrous creatures lie in wait in the Citadel of Chaos?
Deep inside the Citadel of Chaos the dread sorcerer, Balthus Dire, is plotting and scheming the downfall of the goodfolk of Salamonis. His battle plans are laid, his awesome army is gathering, and attack is surely imminent.
Summoned by a desperate plea for help, only YOU and your companions can undertake a mission which strikes at the very heart of Balthus Dire’s nightmare world.
The Citadel holds a dark and dangerous peril for anyone foolhardy enough to venture through its gruesome gates. And yet venture you must, for your mission lies at the heart of the Citadel. Many dangers lie ahead and your success is by no means certain. Powerful adversaries are ranged against you and often your only choice is to kill or be killed!
This extensive adaptation of the classic Gamebook will provide a challenge to Heroes (and Players) both novice and experienced!
Contains:
Prologue ideas to get the Heroes to Citadel
A four Act adventure with 85 Scenes
Black Sorcery - a new Magic style
Additional Lore
