I always look forward to talking with Dominic McDowall at whatever con Cubicle 7 and I find ourselves at and I’m happy to say this year’s big release did fantastic sales numbers at Gen Con. While the Cthulhu Britannica London Box set was selling mighty briskly, the release of The Lone Wolf Adventure Game was practically flying out of the C7 booth; I always dig my friends in the industry doing well.
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:
In The Lone Wolf Adventure Game you are Kai Lords – brave and noble warrior-monks sworn to protect the realm of Sommerlund from the evil of the Darklords – adventuring across the world of Magnamund. You and your friends will face terrifying enemies and uncover fiendish plots, working together to overcome the wicked plans of the Darklords and emerge victorious!
The game is playable right out of the box – you can be setting off on your first adventure within minutes of opening the box. The game is easy to learn too, the first adventure teaching you how to play.
As you grow in experience, additional features can be added in to give the game additional depth. There are a bunch of these included in the boxed set, and more will be included in forthcoming supplements. Experienced gamers can dive right in with all the options included, while new gamers can tailor the learning curve to their group.
Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf gamebooks introduced a generation to fantasy gaming – now the legend continues with The Lone Wolf Adventure Game. Epic quests, thrilling combat, and a world of dangerous adventure lie ahead!
