There is a few very noteworthy changes in the new book 21.
1. The NO grand master now starts with 5 disciplines instead of 4.
2. The origin of the disciplines are revealed. They were granted by Kai to Lone Wolf as a reward. It is also told that he received help from Bautar, Dessi and Lyris so he could teach them to the New Order.
3. Extra adventure is 300 sections long and Lone Wolf is the main character in it.
Also there seems to be a few link errors in the mini-adventure:
The links from 86 and 236 to section 165 are wrong, since it links to an section much earlier in the adventure.

Strange, because this means there will be only 3 books after book 28, instead of the 4 initially planned... Unless you are possibly a supreme master in the last book. In the original version of the books, you reach the Kai Supreme Master level with only 15 of the 16 NO Disciplines: linkIn other words, in the old version, at the start of book 32, we were supposed to be a Kai Supreme Master even if we were missing one Discipline. With this new version, I think now that we will still be a Kai Supreme Master in book 32 but with all 16 Disciplines mastered. Agarash must be nervous now...

Hmmm... book 21.... 5 skills. There is 16 skills. He needs to complete 11 books to gain the 11 missing disciplines.
21 + 11 = 32.
I.e. the new order grand master will have all skills at the start of book 32.
But you right rank wise. That was another change I did not mention. They shifted the ranks so the rank for 4 skills is now the rank for 5 skills. Previously you only needed 15 skills of 16 for rank Kai Supreme Master. Now you need all 16 for the Kai Supreme Master rank.

Just got 20 and 21 today. I think this is the second time that two books have arrived at once (the other being 7 and 8-ish...I think - okay, I don't really remember). It would have been even cooler to have received them a couple weeks ago on Joe's birthday. Being an American, this is the first time I've seen any version of Book 21.

I have now received copies of Book 20 and 21 - better late than never (with added 'mother' delay as they were sent to my parent's address and she put them in a cupboard for safety and forgot ... !).
7 more books and I will be back to where I was before the Mega-deal was even a thing ... I had a complete collection of 1-28, Greystar and Companion, which was sold to buy these lovely shiny hardbacks. Don't get me wrong, I do like the collectors versions (errors notwithstanding) - just seems a long path I'm walking.
Oh and RIP Sir Terry Pratchett ... along with Lone Wolf, Fighting Fantasy, 'old' Games Workshop ... helped shape my love of fantasy and roleplaying.

Yeaiii, got mine today. Sing Hallelujah! =) ...Oh, the copy of book 20 and 21 I meant ; )
And still I wonder why they need such a long time to send them out to everyone. It appears as if Matthew has to pack and ship them all by himself =/
...still not sure if I should feel pitty, picturing that ; )

Just remember Mongoose practically bit the dust in 2013 so at least you guys are getting your books albeit at a huge wait. I am still waiting from mine from Mantikore but should hopefully get in the next day or 2.
