Thats right folks. The guys at Worldweaver who have already published the first Fighting Fantasy book, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain are also going to start publishing Lone Wolf
www.worldweaver.com/fightingfantasy.aspx
This all came about by accident. I was nosing around ebay looking to pick up the original books when I stumbled across a seller (joe8235) selling signed copies of the new Hardback Lone Wolf books (1-14) plus some of the MPGB, &c.
I emailed him as I wanted to get the entire set in one go rather than bid on each individual item. Only to get a response from the man himself, Joe Dever.
He has offered me all 14 collectors edition solo gamebooks at a very good price, personally dedicated
When replying I mentioned the Kindle, and Worldweaver's publication of FF and this is the response I received...
I have since, respectfully requested that he (Joe), Worldweaver and Messers Livingstone and Jackson (if he has any contact with them) put some pressure on Amazon to release Kindle Active Content to the UK (preferably the EU).

unfortunately, Amazon have not given any kind of sign as to when they might be thinking of releasing KAC to the UK/EU/WW markets
Even so, I hope this brightens people spirits, because looking at what they have done with The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, I expect this to be the closest any electronic copy will come to the original book, whilst automatically taking care of die rolls and keeping track of stats and inventory.

Hi ########, thanks again for your message. [snip] unrelated content [/snip]. The Collector Series will include all of the Grand Master (13-20) and New Order (21-32) books. I will add you to my special client list so that you receive email notification from me when each new book becomes available. That way you'll be able to order your signed copy from me directly and at a cheaper cost than buying via eBay. I'm sure you'll be very pleased to learn that WorldWeaver are currently preparing Lone Wolf 1 (extended version) and Lone Wolf 2 for release on the Amazon Kindle. I am expecting to receive the first builds of their programs for review and approval at the end of April. LW1 & LW2 are planned for simultaneous publication in July/August of this year and will be available worldwide. I'm a big fan of the Kindle and I'm very excited about this project. The WorldWeaver development team are lifelong Lone Wolf fans and they are doing some excellent work. I'm sure you'll be impressed when you see the finished books in the Kindle format. Thanks again for your order. I will organise delivery of the books immediately I receive your PayPal payment. With kind regards, Joe Dever.

Note on US only: Currently Kindle Active Content is only available to US customers (i.e. the Kindle is registered to a US address). The game is already licensed for all territories, so as soon as your local Amazon site supports Active Content it will become available to buy.
