Joe Dever author of the Lone Wolf gamebooks has passed away. There were a few years in the 80s when I was really into these, I probably read the first 15 or so. I remember the first, Flight From Darkness, very well. Lots of memorable names: Kai / Magnakai Lord, Sommerland, Magnamund, Laumspur (healing potion).

He created Magnamund as his D&D campaign back in 1977.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd miss the 80s while I was there, but I do. Bits like this, anyway. :-(
ReplyDeleteI have no experience with Lone Wolf but I've heard about it for years. RIP...

ReplyDeletehttps://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Books Free copies of Lone Wolf books, Dever-approved. Thanks to Scott Mob
ReplyDeleteGrey Star the wizard was cool, too. I read at least the first of those. Magnamund Companion was exciting when it came out, had a short solo in it too.
ReplyDeleteZach H I liked Grey Star too, but Joe Dever was the editor on those as I recall
ReplyDeleteAnyone tried the series of novels?
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the series, but I never knew there were so many! Looks like I'll have something else to do this winter! RIP Joe Dever.
