I bring my fellow Megadealers excellent news! Believe it or not, I've got a new shiny copy of Bk22 right here with me right now. It arrived this very afternoon. To be clear: This is from MONGOOSE as part of the continued Megadeal. For those of you who're on this rock n roll rollercoaster with me, watch your letterboxes! Credit where it's due, well done to Mongoose for getting this out pretty quickly after the Mantikore release.

Say what? You mean it was sent from Mongoose right? It most certainly is not printed by them, is it???

Nope, it is not printed by them: they just buy the copies from Mantikore and send them to the Megadealers that are still on board with them. I will say that I'm so pleased that I stayed with Mongoose and didn't ask for a refund when they lost the publishing rights: the books by Mantikore are more expensive than the ones by Mongoose. Paying 664 $CDN in 2007 is one of the best investments I've made in my life!

Interesting that the Brian Williams illustrations were used.
Will also read the bonus adventure with great interest. The frontmatter clarifies a lot about Greystar.

Mine too arrived last week without fanfare or need to contact Mongoose and plead and beg! Hopefully this will be the (random) way of the future ... Is it me or is book 22 one of the chunkier ones released? Here's hoping for the rest of the series before 2020 ... !

10 books in 4 years? I like your optimism. =)
By the way, has anybody heard something about the two trilogies?

Then we have the four new books which are done separately. The Telchos triology probably just waits on somebody striking a deal with the author & JD to publish them. I believe August more or less finished writing them. The Lencian triology well ... were not written and completed the same way, so less hope for those.

Well, if it works out and I really have all 32 books in my shelf before newyears eve of 2019, I´ll gladly invite you for a beer or something ; )
Do you know by any chance, if Mongoose is still planning to deliver the trilogies to old Megadealers?

We need a publisher too, though. I guess Mantikore would be open for this. Question is what the smallest size for an lucrative edition would be. As soon as we know that, we could calculate a "price per book" so to speak... I´ll send Nicolai a message and ask him.

Hi All
While I am grateful that the collectors editions for Lone Wolf continue I have a minor grievance. Is it my imagination or has the paper quality gone down since book 18? In addition the map quality has diminshed. Perhaps this is all intentional to keep the price down and affordable to all. Thoughts?
