I just had an email:
"Hello former Megara Entertainment customer,
Since the closure of my company, I am now without a job and therefore I have decided to sadly sell my private Lone Wolf collection of Collector's gamebooks. If you are interested by an item, send me an email with your offer! Thanks, Mikaël Louys"
There followed list of LW books he was selling (CEs and Multiplayer RPG). Unfortunately there was not any copies of Autumn Snow in his list that he still owes me and other Kickstarter backers.
I usually feel sorry for anyone who has lost their job. But this was pure schadenfreude, and it made me smile.

Prerequisites are reading French — it's not translated yet. And honestly, I'm pretty sure it's too late; I'd have to ask the guys at Scriptarium. I would be interested in dusting of my French from school if you want feedback. Best |

Just wondering if there are any updates. I'm sure Ben and the team have their hands full with the Definitive Editions and LW 32, but I'd hate to see these books go unread. Please let us know.

Je viens d'avoir un e-mail: "Bonjour ancien client de Megara Entertainment, Depuis la fermeture de mon entreprise, je suis maintenant sans emploi et j'ai donc décidé de vendre tristement ma collection privée Lone Wolf de carnets de jeux Collector. Si un objet vous intéresse , envoyez-moi un mail avec votre offre! Merci, Mikaël Louys " Voici la liste des livres de LW qu'il vendait (CE et RPG multijoueur). Malheureusement, il n'y avait pas de copies d'Automne Snow dans sa liste qu'il me doit encore ainsi qu'aux autres contributeurs de Kickstarter. Je suis généralement désolé pour quiconque a perdu son emploi. Mais c'était du pur schadenfreude, et cela m'a fait sourire.  |

If you sent PDFs of Autumn Snow to Ben Dever and urged him to contact me years ago, and he never did, I guess that answers that. A certain 'Grand Mistress Autumn Snow' is mentioned in the history pre-start to the new book (LW31) that I received today!!!! That's as far as I got, as I'm taking my time. |

Grand Mistress Autumn Snow has actually done quite a bit in the background over the years come the events of Book 31. I won’t spoil it, but she earned her title and then some. So proud of our lady! I hope that her books will be re-released at some point!

From what I understood when they offered to feature her in the main series, she was merely supposed to be mentioned somewhere. I assumed in the intro. So they gave her feats of derring-do, did they? Oh well, why not. ^_^
Her adventures are basically all done now. I've been sitting on two of them for a while and two more are currently being tested and tweaked (by me). Not sure how publishing them will go forward. Last I heard, Book 3 playtesters still had not given feedback (except one). What with everyone being busy with the main series, I guess Autumn Snow will just have to wait her turn.

Once it's Autumn Snow's turn I'm looking forward to purchasing those books as well. Thank you for the update.  |

Just a quick post to affirm that I'm also looking forward to purchasing and reading these once they're done and published!

They're done — at least in French. All seven of them. Eight, counting the extra-length bonus one I once wrote for the fanzine. As for publication, I get the feeling the road ahead is still long.

There might be a need for playtesters in the future, but first they have to be "canonically approved" so anything rejected can be changed/replaced.

I just got Newsletter 31 of the Lone Wolf Club from Ben Dever today. This was one thing in it: Besides the Definitive Editions, we must consider Grey Star, Autumn Snow, Rise Of The Agarashi - Autumn Hahn’s Glory & Greed saga, the Bonus Adventure Anthologies, Blood on the Snow, and many other old and new projects.
My hope is to muster enough endurance points to have the entire back catalogue in print before book 32 is released.
This will make the 40th anniversary year an exciting turning point - Holmgard Press will cease to publish predominantly old books, and instead focus on new works, expanding the universe of Aon and the world of Magnamund for a new generation of fans.You might want to try to contact him again - especially with the idea that you have an additional 5-6 books.

The Magnamund team is aware of it, including Ben Dever and Vincent Lazzari. Autumn Snow is ready, she's just stuck in the traffic jam your Newsletter describes : basically, everyone is very busy right now.
