Hello Al.
It depends upon what you mean by fighting fantasy gamebooks.
If you mean the original fighting fantasy series published in the 1980's,
and now being republished, ---- the answer is a resounding no, sinse text is
copywrite, ---- they are apparently publishing eletronic versions for
Iphone, ---- but though I've tried to contact them as regards creating
accessible versions, i've had no luck thus far.
If however you just mean ameter produced gamebooks which happen to use the
fighting fantasy system, ---- such as those found on the ff project
site, ---- go ahead.
It would be possibly polite to contact the authors, ---- but other than that
go to it.
In fact, if you wanted a suggestion of books which need converting, ----
check out the windhammer competition entries from the ameter gamebook
competition at http://www.arborell.com/ ---- not to mention the chronicles
books themselves, ---- imho some of the finest written, deepest plotted, and
most interesting gamebooks ever produced, ---- commercial ones included!
Actually if you could use random numbers to create an easier playing version
of the torchlight game, that might be helpful to some people.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] quest and ff game books
Hi all,
I was wondering if
translating the fighting fantasy gamebooks and similar products to be used
in the quest text adventure creater would be legal or not. I think it
could be possible, although I have to sit down and mess with the thing for
a while to get a better idea.
