On the spur of the moment, I prepared a visual walkthrough for LW29 and LW30 for future gameplay reference, to share with other gamers. But I don't know if it is appropriate to post them (spoiler and owner rights) and what is the right forum section to discuss this matter. As far as I know LW29 and LW30 are not covered by Project Aon. Posting walkthroughs and such is no problem, copyright covers only the original text and images. The Books and the World is the appropriate board. |

Well, English readers will have to wait and see until the beginning of 2019 when the new online store opens where we will be able to buy both book 23 and 30: magnamund.com/password |

Awesome news! I only hope that the website launches with at least one book printed and ready to ship. It would be pretty disappointing if there are only preorder options. This would be my third time preordering LW23, iirc. I’ll be first in line to order reprints of any or all existing CE’s too!

Good news that the store will be reopened next year.
We will reunite in the year to come, to witness the Order to rise again.
For Sommerlund and the Kai.

I am complaining the delay to Charlie Brown!

According to an interview with Joe Dever at Manticon, he'd already written 29 AND 30. That was in 2012....

are 29-32 ever going to be on project aon? The ending of 28 was just . . . not right.

As I said in earlier post, the reality is, we'll get 32 probably in 2024. Better late than never, but I just wish we could get (in my opinion a superior fantasy world) Lone Wolf/Magnamund as resurgent as Warhammer is now. I see fantasy rpg/action games all the time with decent to good stories but really lame settings. I just think Joe focused too much on re-energizing the base/expanding to new audiences and I'm not entirely sure how successful the latter has been. It's not on him either, my guess is that developers (for high-end games) want their own IPs so they don't have to share the profits. I mean there's nothing we can do and unlike what an earlier poster implied, this isn't harassment, I'm not even going to post it anywhere but here and it's not targeted. It's just stating facts, realistic deadlines, etc. Now, I have no idea how often or how bad Joe was sick during all the time, if it was episodic and crippling, etc. I'm just going on the other content that was produced by him and others and how long we've been waiting for the stories we've actually been wanting all along. i've never cared about the republications except I do miss not having the bonus adventures or any expanded content. |

On reflection, I think you’re right about him in 2012 meaning the notes for the books rather than some sort of final edition ready for going to print.
You are also surely correct in what you say about developers and intellectual property too.
I take your point about Warhammer, but am I right in saying that LW was more or less a one-man band (Joe himself?)
My point? Joe Dever could exert an effort into, say, gamebooks, and/or computer games and/or novels at any given moment in time but as a one-man driving force he would have been spreading himself quite thinly the more he branched into. Not like Games Workshop which can and did branch out in all sorts of directions without a loss of momentum. For myself, I do wish he had finished the LW saga completely rather than move into computer games and apps but of course he had to follow where he thought the money was. And if the money was not in gamebooks, then I cannot blame him for it.
It’s a pity.

 I have just custom-made a book cabinet for 28 Red fox and holmgard 29 to 32. It can house two sets: front and back. But it seems that there is little room for books 31 and 32. Hopefully, it wont exceed 5.3cm on the average. |

I think I missed your response before. I definitely can't blame Joe about it, other than lack of planning? regarding writing out 29-32, but then maybe it is working out for the better because his notes will be fully expanded upon and not rushed like they might have been before. I don't know, though I do of course wish so much he was around to see it be completed. As for Warhammer, yes, I figure it's mainly been Joe on his own, then in the last few years with more help (though August and others did write earlier supplements that I think are partially de-canonized.) GW definitely has more people to be involved in its projects, but I think I just see a popularity even with settings I think are just strange or not as compelling in video games, and I think a really good, AA or AAA produced action-RPG would lay the groundwork for expanded popularity. I can say as a Total War player, maybe most of the TW: Warhammer players didn't know much about that setting, its characters, etc. and definitely didn't do tabletop battle gaming. Yet now it's grown and people are at least considering how else they might engage with Warhammer content. I think one of these developers needs to be sold on this idea. I look at Assassins' Creed: Odyssey and it's a beautiful game and huge world. I just imagine the same care and artistry (but with a bit less grindiness) with the Lone Wolf setting and I get excited about the potential. That is the next step, I think, and you don't have to have a currently extremely popular IP. You just have to get a developer to take a small risk. |

I live in Northern Italy. My wish is to be able to see the end of this epic saga that I enjoyed so much in my younger years. Thank you so much for your work.
