Hello, Lone Wolf friends and fans (both new and old). Zipp here, returning to announce the beginning of a project that I have wanted to do for years and am excited to get to finally put into place, starting today.
Those who have followed me on the forums may remember that roughly ten years ago (ten years?!) I began a long running playthrough of the Lone Wolf adventures with a female friend. I called it Female Lone Wolf and posted our adventures here. Eventually our friendship sadly fizzled and the game with it, but the fun we had and the sheer enjoyment of GMing in Joe's world never left me. I have long wanted to return to it.
The release of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition only helped stoke this desire. Fifth edition was DND as I had always liked it best: simple, with an emphasis on imagination over rules, but equipped with a versatile rule set that could simulate a myriad of scenarios and player decisions in seconds without the need to ever flip to this rule or that errata. It felt perfect for Lone Wolf and in fact one of the first things I did on its release was to run a short Lone Wolf game (Books 1 and 2). It was a blast, but it was also with a seven person party, and so a lot of what makes LONE Wolf special was lost. It wasn't the Female Lone Wolf adventures.
Long story short, today I finally get my wish! Beginning at 11:00am (GMT -8), I will be live streaming the first of a continuing series that is intended to take a single player (MorgaKnight) all the way from the first Lone Wolf adventure to the 20th (and from level 1 to 20 in the running). You can tune in at MorgaKnight's Twitch channel, linked below. The videos will stay up for a week or two after the event and then will be transferred to a permanent YouTube location (link to come later).
We will be playing regularly at this time, Saturdays at 11:00am (GMT-8) so if you ever want to tune in live, you can. You'll also get the dubious honor of seeing my face and hearing my voice (spoiler: I am not a woman).
I hope anyone who has interest will join us or check the videos afterwards! I'll be monitoring this thread, too, and am happy to answer questions here or engage in discussions about the conversion-to-DND effort.

Past Episodes:
Episode 1: Flight From the Dark (up to the Gourgaz fight) (Note that this was our first time and we had some technical issues. Nothing too bad, and nothing experience breaking, but my audio is a little choppy to start. My audio gets much better after the first hour, when we switched audio programs. It is fixed for the rest of the episode and future episodes!)
Episode 2: Flight From the Dark (up to the end of the book)
Episode 3: Fire on the Water (up to Ragadorn)
Episode 4: Fire on the Water (up to Hammerdal)
Episode 5: Fire on the Water (up to adventure's end)
Episode 6: Caverns of Kalte (up to the fortress of Ikaya)
Episode 7: Caverns of Kalte (up through book's end)
Episode 8: Chasms of Doom (up through entering the mines)
