As I was shooting a little b-roll for the interview video I found myself talking with the Lone Wolf himself, Joe Dever, and I have to say what really good guy he was; an amazing benefit of being the so-called media at these sort of events is meeting really cool people when you may least expect it. I didn’t get him on camera since I figured I’d already monopolized enough time with the folks at C7 but how cool is it to see an author who, for the most part, cinvented the create-your-own-adventure genre watch his work come full circle in an introductory RPG?
About the game:
