For anyone who doesn't know Titan is effectively the campaign/worldbook for the original Fighting Fantasy adventure game books.
One of the great things about this book is that there are no rules at all in it. Its just flavour and background. That means the book is system-agnostic and can be used with any rules set. Back in the day when I had my original print copy I ran a 1st/2nd ed AD&D game set in Allansia and it was tons of fun.
This book is very much a product of the UK RPG scene from the early 80s. What that means to me is that the book freely mixes high-fantasy with gothic horror while also having a ton of tongue-in-cheek humour. For me personally that's a huge plus but for some who might not appreciate the shift in tone throughout be advised.
I'll close by saying that if you're an old school gamer (or a fan of old school gaming) who really liked the original Fiend Folio but couldn't really put their finger on why then Titan is a must have.
