  • The Forest of Doom Holidays were run by Dolphin and Colony Holidays in 1985, offering real life adventures in the forests of Oxford and Edinburgh based on the book of the same name. Mention is given to the Dolphin and Colony Holidays package in issue 5 of Warlock. This said that it offered a week of Fighting Fantasy real-life adventures in either Edinburgh or Oxford: "Players are formed into teams and must immerse themselves totally in the world of monsters and magic. A full range of modern stage and drama equipment will be made available, along with video, lighting, sound, make-up and costume." The quality of the holiday experience was reportedly disappointing. Despite being given a substantial amount of text space in issue 5, a special message was posted in issue 10, signed by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson, disassociating themselves from these holidays. Entitled "Holiday of Doom?" The message read: It appears from the above that "Colony Holidays" was a separate operational name as "Dolphin Holidays". However, a full year before the above message was printed in issue 10, the company was referred to as Dolphin and Colony Holidays in issue 5.
