Pathfinder / Fighting Fantasy hybrids

[Jurassic Bard]

So basically, I was reading my old fighting fantasy gamebooks and I had an epiphany. Coming up with various pathfinder campaigns using fighting fantasy as the setting! It would start off simple, taking a small group of adventurers on pre-existing missions (e.g. going into Firetop Mountain to find the treasure of the evil warlock, Zagor, or going into Darkwood Forest to retrieve the dwarfish hammer of Stonebridge) to provide a more wider range of options, then they can be tweaked, turning the great Yaztromo from a human wizard into a tengu arcane trickster for example. The possibilities could be endless!

A company called Myriador had converted these into d20 books, I have a couple in hard format. Have a search around on the internet and you may save yourself a little work.

Huh, didn't know that. I shall have to look these up some time. Myriador, you say? Would be a good place to build it up.

I didn't like the fighting fantasy gamebooks. My problem was that i couldn't keep my characters through multiple books. Would you be using the straight FF system just converted to Golarion?

^ replace the above with I did like the fighting fantasy gamebooks

[Jurassic Bard]

I believe I would start with using the FF system to begin with, just so I had a template to work with, then by the tenth game or so I can then evolve it little by little.

Personally, I'd rather keep the characters as they are just with a pathfinder spin though there is plenty of leeway (prime example, Zagor - the warlock of firetop mountain - originally got most of his power from a deck of cards but he also had a spell book so he could easily become a wizard/bonded witch hybrid turning him into a half elf in the process).

The FF game books rescinded to exist in golarion?

[Jurassic Bard]

Not quite sure what rescinded means, but if it means placed in Golarion then, yes. Of course, you can still have Titan as the world for your settings.
