I have decided to begin a second series of Gamebooks! It will be called "Wolf Gray: The Warrior"
It takes place in the world of Lone Wolf. The clan that Wolf Gray is a part of is called the Holy Shaluti Monks which are priestly warriors who always believed in peace... but one day... the peace was shattered....!
I will announce my website soon...
Ideas and suggestions?

I think he means a second series meaning Lone Wolf was the first.
Welcome to the long list of people who have started gamebook projects. Let's see...
Sol- a lone wolf series where you play as lone wolf between the Magnakai and Grand Master, I believe
Ronan (or was it outspaced)- I think he completed his lone wolf series, though I have yet to read it
Unknown- the drakkarim seires
The lone giak series...
The angel series...
That space series by Moo...
My Silencer series, and now my Surrealistic series...
And then Wolf Gray the Warrior...
Have I missed any?

Shinari Quest is on hold because it's on my PC which is unavailable right now. I'll work on Wolf Gray the Warrior on my new website... And I'll try to give updates frequently.

I think the differences between Wolf Gray and Grey Wolf speak for themselves, particularly the change between US and British spellings The Grey Wolf site is quite odd. NS.

I looked over the rules. Don't you think you're ... exaggerating a bit? ;D You must have over a dozen stats there. Will they all have an importance? More to the point, the way those stats are computed compels me to warn you : you will have a very hard time calibrating your gamebook for average difficulty. You have stats which can fly all over the place (if you roll 6, add 16 to it. If you roll 1, add 8 to it -- that's a range of 14 points, from 9 to 22 inclusive). Either the unlucky dice roller will be screwed before even starting, or the lucky dice roller will win with one hand tied behind his back.
Apart from these potential problems, the rest seems fine, although I'm not sure how close you plan on making Wolf Gray's life story parallel Lone Wolf's. Is it intended to be a retelling of the story?

I have to agree on this point. One of the reasons I halted my Silencer Series is because it was too complicated a rules set, and it wasn't near as complex as this.
You have a good start with the rules, now try to simplify things a bit.

First of all the website url is: www.geocities.com/WolfGrayProductions/index.htmlSecondly, those aren't the rules, that is just the stats. I will work more on that later on. If the stats were the same as everyone elses, it would be boring... I may cut something out of the stats... I'll let you know what that is later.

Ok, I edited and changed a bit of the stats. I added a action chart. If someone could make me a better action chart, that'll be great!

If the stats were the same as everyone elses, it would be boring... I may cut something out of the stats... I'll let you know what that is later. Well, to me, stating is part of the rules. I also forgot to mention that some of these aren't explained very well. For instance, is Mystic just your wisdom points doubled? And do you always have hunger points 30, or were you just using that as an example? Anyways, to further elaborate on the potential stating problem: If this was a complicated as it got, and you spend the rest of the game simply checking these numbers, that's not too bad. But if you start having these numbers change, and comparing to enemy stats, etc etc. it could get messy. Also, the Big O (Oiseau) brings up an excellent point about trying to plot out average difficulty. Joe Dever's system had two stats which changed depending on how you rolled your character and look at the trouble he had setting difficulty.
