All I can say at the moment is that he isn't likely to continue his adventures as a bonus section in the upcoming gamebooks. That may not, however, be bad news. As soon as I can say more, I absolutely will. -A

Well good news that the books are coming back! Or at least continuing.
Just need a release date! ;D

On the other hand, that isn't a point blank "No. That's your lot." so I'm not giving up hope just yet. Out of curiosity, has Darren - The Wolf made the jump over here? I'd be interested to know whether he's under an NDA too... Just need a release date! ;D Teeheehee! The more things change, the more they stay the same... Hopefully release dates will have meaning from now on though. Finger crossed. I thought I saw something in a post on either the Mantikore site, or somewhere here that they were aiming for June for Bk. 18. Matthew over at Mongoose has passed the text across to speed things up.

Read carefully: it means that it might not come back in a bonus section but maybe in another, bigger form...

Hi Yes its correct that Mantikore aims to June as the publishing date. We have a huge gameshow in Cologne Germany at 1+2 June and we want to have the published book at our booth there. Probably Joe Dever will be there. www.rpc-germany.de/

This is fantastic, Mantikore! Thank you all so much for stepping up to the plate and upholding the honour of the Kai! -August

Hee hee... trust me, I WANT to bite. There's so much to tell you all.
And yet I can't. I have to keep all the details a secret for now. Just believe me when I say that this is only the beginning. There is a lot happening behind the scenes for Lone Wolf.

Ah! Cool. Good to see another of the old Mongoose Forumites over here. Soooo... NDAs... Might I ask if you're under a gagging order too, or aren't you allowed to say? ;D

I know very little about the future of Lone Wolf at this time, TYA. I am always under an NDA regarding things like that, Joe promises some pretty cool things in the pipeline and I'm sure he'll bring me back onboard for the RPG if he needs me. Good to see you too I had fun on the work I did for that. At the moment I'm at the Mongoose forums fixing Spider God's Bride.

I think fortunately JD isn't too good at keeping quiet when it comes to LW so I wouldn't imagine it'll be too long before we hear what's afoot. I certainly hope he does. Sommerlund and The Bestiary were both a great read. (I don't actually do any group gaming anymore, but it doesn't stop me buying a fair number of RPGs). So tiptoeing around NDAs... Is it pointless asking you about the Big Bad in Karoth's mini-adventure then? Is that secret lost along with the Megadeal? Personally I always wondered if it really was a Big Bad, or whether someone was posing as a Big Bad to manipulate Karoth as an agent for good. Either way, I really liked the idea of playing a Helghast who's goals were (at least temporarily) aligned with LW and the Kai.

Just to say, if 1-17 get reprinted with mongoose errors fixed (maters of darkness, good heavens), they would be an instabuy for me.

TYA: I did have plans in that regard but they're probably lost now to the vortex of change. I had a lot of fun using a Helghast as a protagonist for the bonus adventure and it's probably an idea I'd go back to if I was given the chance - I think the BA's that are coming will all be in-house though, which will be interesting to see.
IIRC one of the plans was to tie it into the rise of a Darklord from the RPGs supplement on Helgedad etc.
Thanks for the kind words on Sommerlund and the Bestiary. I do have a lot of other non-LW work in the pipeline and even my own published system/setting-agnostic publications over at Drivethru RPG - which riff on the idea of small plug-in places with maps by my wife Gill and interesting (Sommerlund like) text by me.
