Titan is the fantasy world where the majority of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy and Sorcery! gamebooks and novels are set. It is also the subject matter of Titan: The Fighting Fantasy World, a guide book written by Jackson and Livingstone in 1986 (ISBN 0-14-032127-6).

Fantasy world

In most of the books, the Titan world is in the typical medieval fantasy setting, complete with magic, monsters, and fantastic treasures. Titan has three main continents: Allansia, The Old World and Khul. In the Time of Heroes, there had only been one continent, Irritaria, but it was split into three by the gods. Titan contains typical beings of the genre (such as goblins, elves and other assorted legendary creatures), but also original creatures (such as the loud-voiced Jib-Jib) and recurrent original deities:

Modern world

In a few books, the Titan world is brought to a contemporary setting. One notable example is in Appointment with F.E.A.R., a comic-book-based adventure in which Titan is an urbanized town in the USA where superhero and supervillains collide. Another is House of Hell, highly similar to a haunted house setting.
