And as for Oriah, since a Kai Lord can get married, then the NO GM should marry her... They will have kids and then we could have the New New Order series, the sequel to the NO series! The series will continue past book 32!  Ha. How old is Oriah now? It has been what? 26 years? She must be getting on in age - late 40s?... while NO GM is still a spring chicken. You don't get any special item or codebook for that option right? So it won't have any significance. But i suspect canon wise that is probably the preferred option too. |

Questions about NO GM *ascension* to Kai Supreme Master (sounds so epic...)
Epic. But does this mean the prophecy of the Koura-tas-skarn refers to you and not Lone wolf?? How does that make sense since your name isn't Eagle or Wolf?
Oh wait. Koura-tas-skarn means "son of the wolf"? So the first Kai Supreme master is Koura-tas-skarn?

Other notes and questions, I have not read any of the bonus adventures or the RPG supplements.
1. NO GM notes in the book that he is watched over by the greatest Wizard in the world while referring to Grey Star. So we have confirmation Grey Star > Bandeon?
I think though Grey Star is on paper capable of more feats (teleporation across vast distances seems trivial for him vs brotherhood magicians, necromancy seems easy too), he seems more of a glass canon than Brotherhood wizards and is more reliant of his pseudo version of moonstone. When he got infected his magicks was totally useless and has to be bailed out by the Brotherhood magician. On other hand, Grey Star's magicks even lesser magicks like Sorcery seems totally unique. I think the Shaniti are just more gifted in mantipulating astral energies. The brotherhood are nothing special until Bandeon got trained and figured out the 2nd level magics which mimick some of Grey Star's abilities.
2. Who is Lady Assiliah? Is she a Shianti , or like GreyStar a human agent? I get the impression she is human too, but trained by Shianti to a lesser extent, and has never been physically to the island of Lorn (though has memories transmitted to her during her training). Grey Star is still the Shianti's greatest champion because he is a child of prophet who got through the sea of dreams by destiny...
3. What was the whole thing about the song of the dead between Lady Assiliah and GS.
It states that while GS has never seen the forbidden tome, he knows the song of the dead. And he seems to support the idea of usng it to defend the island of lorn. So why does this option not activate unless NO GM has heard the song in the echo?
I mean I can get that the choice should be NO GM has he is master of the island now, but why is it only done if he has heard it?

Vincent, I have little to add to the praises already said in this thread and the others for LW30 and 31. It is fitting and pleasing to me that incidents within your own rpg sessions made their way into the books, in the same way that Joe's did when he was creating Magnamund in the first place through his D&D sessions. I knew the Lone Wolf Books were in safe hands immediately after reading The Tides of Gorgoron. The care, effort and attention to detail (by everyone involved) that has gone into the making of these books shows JD made a good choice. Had he lived, Joe would have been 65 today (12 Feb 2021) and it saddens me that he didn’t live to see the completion of his epic saga started so many years ago, but he would have been immensely proud of you, of his son, and of all the others who have taken up the torch after his passing. I'm sure of that. Keep on doing what you are doing, and onwards to Book 32! , thank you so much for these words and the support... wow! I'm especially delighted you enjoyed The Tides of Gorgoron that much, for in my view it's an important instalment of the conclusion of the saga, that Joe really wanted to include. Now you've read LW31, I guess you realize how crucial it is, with the plots around the Claw of Naar, the Ice Demon, le Agarashi, Lord Sesketera and the Lady Assiliah... |

It was the highlight of our discussions with Joe Dever about that book five years ago actually. To address your query: there are the 'koura-tas-kai', the 'sons of the sun', Ikar and Skarn, namely Sun Eagle and Lone Wolf. There are the 'koura-tas-naar', and there are the 'koura-tas-skarn', who are indeed the 'sons of the wolf'. Ye, the first Kai Supreme Master is revealed at the end of LW31 to be the first 'koura-tas-Skarn'. Lone Wolf himself is obviously not a koura-tas-skarn. |

I think the Shaniti are just more gifted in mantipulating astral energies. The brotherhood are nothing special until Bandeon got trained and figured out the 2nd level magics which mimick some of Grey Star's abilities. You have to take into account here that it is an opinion of the NO KGM, because of the feats of Grey Star. It is not an official statement of the world of Magnamund. All your comments above are relevant. 2. Who is Lady Assiliah? Is she a Shianti , or like GreyStar a human agent? I get the impression she is human too, but trained by Shianti to a lesser extent, and has never been physically to the island of Lorn (though has memories transmitted to her during her training). Grey Star is still the Shianti's greatest champion because he is a child of prophet who got through the sea of dreams by destiny... Lady Assiliah was first featured in the bonus adventure of LW20, 'The Purifiers of Kazan Oud', which I co-wrote with Eric Dubourg and Reinaldo Gomez-Larenas. She returned in the bonus adventure of LW29, 'The Tides of Gorgoron' we co-wrote with Joe Dever himself, which revealed a lot about her powers, tasks in Dessi and past. She'll be also featured, when she was younger, in a further LW RPG Campaign I started to write for the Swedish editor of Lone Wolf, "The Escapee", who was approved by Joe Dever in 2014. I won't spoil everything, but as you seem interested, yes she's also a human agent of the Shianti - with perhaps some specific features. She was indeed trained by the Shianti, and even came to the Isle of Lorn physically, but using a safer and totally different way from Grey Star's (who remains the sole human, before the NO KGM, to have crossed physically the Sea of Mists to reach Lorn and lived). 3. What was the whole thing about the song of the dead between Lady Assiliah and GS. It states that while GS has never seen the forbidden tome, he knows the song of the dead. And he seems to support the idea of usng it to defend the island of lorn. So why does this option not activate unless NO GM has heard the song in the echo? I mean I can get that the choice should be NO GM has he is master of the island now, but why is it only done if he has heard it? Grey Star has never seen the tome physically as it remained hidden. But he was taught some of the tome's spells, like the Song of the Dead, by his Shianti masters - which he can actually use in Grey Star #1 and Grey Star #2. In LW31, it is just a matter of timing. The top priority to defend the island are the power lances, and it takes time to activate them, as it'll take time to use the Tome of the Dead. Grey Star prefers to focus on the power lances, and so the option activates only if someone else can deal with the Tome, i.e. if the NO GM has already heard the Song. If he hasn't, well, Grey Star won't lose time to go to use the Tome. |

So I restarted from Book 29 and played through 31, bolstered by a better idea of what to do along this very detailed path. And goodness. The psychology of a world-spanning war really leaps right off the page the more you read it. I successfully got through 31, though once again I made some boneheaded choices (because I automatically assumed that hearing the Song of the Dead was a necessarily evil thing). The book really does make you feel like a single, finite entity unable to tell if even your best-intended behavior actually affects the world around you for good or for ill.
I genuinely appreciate the heavy-lore underpinning. True, it makes a lot of the sections longer and perhaps slower, but again, this is the world-building that so many people on this very board complained about being missing from several of the New Order books, and with the foreshadowing that the Old Guard is deteriorating rather rapidly, I think it's nothing but a good thing to learn as much as possible about the Southern Continent. The NO Supreme Master is likely to be firmly at the head of the nations in that confederation, and he'll need all the help he can get to make good far-sighted decisions.
More fascinating things I picked up (next playthrough I'll go back to Ghol-Tabras, promise!):
1. I made the mistake of trying to give Oriah hope regarding her ... question ... the first playthrough. After getting deeper into the book, I think I understand why that was the wrong choice to make, at least as far as she was concerned. The two most influential men in her life taught her that she was not an adult worthy of truth. Neither her husband nor her father understand what kind of person she had proven to be and simply saw a second-class citizen to make pretty with silk and demand obedience from. (And that's not even getting into Sesketera still protesting love in the full knowledge that he had killed at least two of their mutual children. Ugh, that's a thread for another time.) If I had read her subtext as well as her words a bit more carefully, the right choice would have been immediately obvious. Aaaand ... there's the deviously brilliant notion that by lying to her, she was more open to the dream demon that seems to be preying on everyone's mind. Perhaps it merely suggested the quickest possible way to see her children again and she went for it?
2. Banedon. Does anyone besides me feel as though he's going to be a major obstacle to any reconciliation effort with any "damned" characters? I completely understand why he is against right-hand magic, but finding out that Jhudyth is gaining traction and even his influence is unable to stop her rise ... he seems mighty prickly lately! Granted, that may be from realizing that his zenith has passed--the fact that he has not been successful at passing on Loi-Kymar's wisdom to anyone else in the Brotherhood is genuinely worrisome and I feel as though that detail is really quite important. I wonder if any of the events in Book 31 can help change his mind. I wonder if he knows that Lone Wolf has black fire literally eating him alive! I'm beginning to wonder if he, too, might not survive until the end of Book 32.
3. I finally got to read the epilogue and ... huh. Assuming that voice is actually Vonotar (and not another Naarvakim/another unknown critter), it becomes more challenging to be willing to forgive him. I mean, he really is a wretch of a human being. But I did forgive Scaldar pretty much instantly ... sigh ... and shamefully, once I forgave Cadak. So I suppose I just have to hear the reasoning behind why whoever-this-is deserves more consideration. It's hard to change your mind after 28 previous books insisting that you're on the right track, haha!

moonblade , as an author it's a pure delight to read your brainstorming! Of course I won't spoil anything, just a few comments: - Congratulations, you've actually understood what happens in the background between... let's call him "the Shadow", and Oriah, if the KGM lies to her "for her own good". - Banedon: I confirm he knows that Lone Wolf has been wounded by the Nengud-kor-Adez, he's part of the team who try to cure him. Also, if he didn't manage to train directly other Brothers of the Crystal Star in the 2nd Level Spells, he nevertheless allowed some of them to study ancient tomes and a few Brothers (like Acraban) managed to master them. This initiative is far from being a failure, even though Jhudyth's path looks easier and more battle-wise efficient.

I feel like Acraban is being set up as the first wizard after Banedon to learn Second Level Crystal Star magic. This makes him a direct parallel to NOGM/NOSM. Maybe Banedon will have less of a chip on his shoulder now there is a 'Chip off the Ol Block' ...? |

Vonotar is instrumental to the destruction of the Darklords and the rise of the Second Order of the Kai: like a rosebush, the Kai had to be pruned back brutally, to flower again, more wondrously than ever! Also, Jhudyth has proven that he was on the right (Right) track and was unfairly dismissed in the first place. He is coming back Lawyered Up, and he needs his Day in Court! |

If he hasn't, well, Grey Star won't lose time to go to use the Tome. Just to be clear, where IS the Song of the Dead? I don't think it is in this book, is it? But I don't remember it from another.... But maybe I did encounter it and just forgot, it's been THAT long, lol! I have a scrap of paper that I carried over between 29_31 that is a few years old. I think that was based on an older scrap of paper that I used for 21_28, lol! Sometimes I see a reference to something and I think "I'm sure I HAD that, but it isn't on the piece of paper...!" I assume if it isn't down it got destroyed or I just remember it from a PREVIOUS run through (I had a couple). Either that, or I gave it to a trainee Master and never got it back. That Drodarin Bag of Munchkins for instance... I was under the impression you were forced to lose it, but I could be wrong. I think it's good not to have everything though, a veteran NOGM is already a Walking Tank. |

I must say this is one of the most Epic gamebooks I have read. Admittedly, I have always read through gamebooks more for the story than the game (though I do take note of cool items with cool CS bonuses) even when I was a kid, so this switch to a new style with super long sections, compelling characterization suits me perfectly. That said, I do agree with someone who mentioned that, a lot of the text about so and so country, their political context etc was kinda boring to me. They often didn't really matter... Meeting old allies and enemies was nice for tying up loose ends, but there can be such a thing as too much of a good thing. In a sense this book reminds me of Way of the Tiger 7 which also shoehorned a ton of old callbacks (and also added a love interest....) , I must admit it took me a while to remember some of them. My suggestion if possible is to focus a lot more on Oriah as she clearly stands out from the dozens of poor allies that LW and his discipline start missions with and then have to abandon (though to be fair LW's companions tend to suffer dire fates while NO GM's quite a few survive). Oriah was kind of the only real setback NO GM had prior to the latest books so it is quite nicely done in Book 30 and 31 to have a callback to that. Hope she features more in the last book. BTW so we have confirmation NO GM is male? I mean they are now throwing around titles like Grandmistress and clearly NO GM is not one. I agree with those who say the dreams about Good, Evil was quite well done and had me in doubt until the 2nd dream where I went.. "yeah.. obviously a imposter". Blazer sacrificing himself was epic but expected but omg nothing compared to your surprise ASCENSION TO KAI SUPREME MASTER. There was zero telegraphing of this at all, I was reading this late at night and went WTH WTH my mind had so many questions.... My vote for the number #1 epic moment in all of gamebook history (my favourite game book series is Blood sword for overall epic writing but this peak moment in LW beats that) I have no idea how you going to top that in LW 32, but you better try. Most people are expecting LW to sacrfice himself which I guess would be fine but expected. I LOVE the 'boring political stuff', as I spent literally days poring through the Magnamund Companion as a kid, wondering about all those other nations and leaders listed. So glad to finally see them have relevance! I think Vincent is a little like me in that regard, so let him indulge, lol. There is a LOT of Fan Service here, which as you point out can be good and bad. But mostly good, so nice to follow up on characters left hanging in previous books. The trouble is, it makes me wonder why the NOGM didn't follow up on them PREVIOUSLY... there were a lot of years before Book 29 that the NOGM could have rescued Oriah, for instance? As for 'confirming NOGM as male' I don't recall that here. There was bit in 22 that refers to you as male', but other than that... I'm not sure. I did roleplay 21 to 26 as a butch lesbian once (not that it makes any difference, this was me filling in gaps in the Background). Whatever the sex, the GM clearly has an eye for the ladies. And I agree, the Ascension was very nicely done, it felt suitably Epic. It actually reminded me of Dark Knight Rises, but more Mystical. Like 'The Light Monk Rises' maybe... |

OK! I just finished my first playthrough (went through the Mountains of Morn, got savaged the whole way and ultimately died on the way to Naaros through a series of unfortunate events). I’m still in a bit of shock. That last dream that the NO master has of Lone Wolf very nearly fooled me. The sowing of doubt is extremely persuasive, just like in the bonus adventure of book 29! I was also quite snowed by the number puzzle—I knew the initial answer immediately, but it took me an embarrassingly long time to connect the dots. Really well done visual hints without being too apparent. Honestly, I’m not going to worry myself about things like names or any typos at this point. I’m just so overjoyed to see years upon years of lore and mythos finally coming to a full, cohesive ending. For me, these last books feel like truly learning the history of your country—the mundanities, the ugly truths, the sad failures, the grim outcomes of poor decisions. It feels so very fulfilling/humbling to hear the whole thing and be confronted with our collective humanity in the face of what really is a war of gods. I am going to try again to get through the book after I rest and ponder where I erred. , thank you SO MUCH for these words, they made my day. I'm delighted by your brainstorming about the Nengud-kor-Adez, the fact Blazer is now prisonner of the Pit along with the demigod responsible for his fall, the discussion about the use of Right and Left-handed sides which echoes what is happening in the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star, and the little secrets of the utterly pragmatic Elder Magi. Also it seems you are a lot to have enjoyed the scene of the nightmare(nearly all the reviewers of the book mentioned it, actually) and to have been nearly fooled by the impostor. I'm really happy, since it implies the speech of the impostor to lure the KGM was somehow convincing... perhaps because it was at least partly true, even if the impostor didn't believe a single word of it himself . I do need to congratulate you on this: 29, 30 and 31 are without a shadow of a doubt the best NO books and actually better than most of the Lone Wolf GM books. I feel like JD was slowly running out of steam before, as the fan base dwindled and publishers lost faith. But the Story remained to be told and it seems the fans on Project Aon keeping the dream alive revitalised him. In 29 he Ascended to Supreme Master status and in 30 and 31, using his notes, you and Ben followed, like Koura-tas-Skarn. I am interested to know how much was your writing and how much was Ben- I get the feeling you had more input in this one, or am I wrong? I too enjoyed the section where Shasarak tempts you in your dreams: I confess, I actually fell for it, thinking it was like a quest-within-a-quest or something. I knew it was the wrong decision after he gives you a Neverness Sphere- I remembered that the Neverness was pure Chaos magic. But it doesn't say you can't throw the Sphere over the side of the Skyship though, am I right? I mean any object can be dropped, so technically when the text asks 'Do you have a Neverness Sphere?' if I didn't take it with me Shasarak cannot command my soul....? I am genuinely intrigued by the idea of both Blazer and Shasarak being stuck in the Pit of Eternal Pain together, after both of them having their asses handed to them by NOGM. Will they fight, will they work together to escape? It has the makings of a mini-adventure! I imagine a duel similar to the one at the end of Harry Potter- maybe Shasarak will use some kind of Death Spell on Blazer, but it will end up killing the Ice Demon inside of him instead? Or maybe the Ice Demon can't take the Heat of the Pit of Eternal Pain- he might simply melt away...? A good story leaves us with a new question for every answer - this succeeds admirably in that regard. |

Overall, a great contribution to Canon.
If I may venture a few thoughts...
The battle at the start was pretty cool: it always feels nice to show off awesome fighting skills to the admiring armies! However I think the person who said it was unnecessary as a start to a book that was primarily about Southern Magnamund and Agarash and could have lent extra sections to developing that story more had a point. Maybe it could have been a Bonus Adventure, done from the perspective of Blazer or Marysu Doko (whatever his name was)? To make room for this there were a few super long sections that were actually repeated, just with a few changes at the beginning. Maybe these could have been merged to reduce the page count?
On the subject of the battle, I feel like it is one of the places where you are punished for doing the sensible thing. After all the detailed description of troop formation and tactics and there are actually no sections devoted to make good strategical decisions. The only choice is whether to stay on the hill commanding the troops or leap right in. I felt that given my status and experience that I should stay on the hill, as it would show a maturing GM that is prepared to delegate and not give in to impulse. But upon reading other choices available later, I think I missed out on some cool stuff. So you should just jump in.
Similarly, I felt the wisest decision was to investigate the tomb of Scaldar, as he was the only person who had previously defeated Agarash. It turned out to be the most boring and least satisfying choice: fighting that Fungus Demon eight times in the forest was so less interesting than the other two options!
Plus, it punishes you for making what feels like the 'right' decision; Scaldar, in all his wisdom and sadness, bitterly regrets using destructive Fire magic to defeat Agarash. Yet if you only explore what he considers his 'Redemption' you will not find a means of surviving in the end. Not only that, but DESPITE the warnings you must repeat his mistakes and take up the Rod of Ruin, that he tried so painstakingly to hide from ever being reused. Thankfully, like a good little Munchkin, I hoovered it up. But it felt like the Wrong decision. It wasn't.
On that subject, I was annoyed that NOGM stood there like a 🍋, whilst the Naarvakim got on with completing the new body of Agarash...
I LITERALLY HAD A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN MY POCKET! I mean, I know Grey Star said Agarash was cool with Fire Magic now, and could totally Rock It. But before his body was complete...? Or what if I incinerated the Children of Agarash and the Naarvakim? But annoying he didn't try. Reminded me of horror films or thrillers where you shout at the screen "stab him again, just to make sure! No, don't turn your back, you Pillock!"
Yeah, so unlike some contributors, I would definitely do the Taklakot or Otavai options. In Taklakot you get cool number puzzles and the chance to kill some weird witch in a desert. And in Otavai, you get to stop the whole Vaduzhan Empire being controlled by vampires!
In fact I would pick Otavai and deliberately get caught, as I still feel like a Shill for running out on Gildas and the boys in 27, so freeing his spirit should be Number One Priority. Another situation where being successful and clever doesn't get you the best outcome!
That's another thing... I thought Grey Star had checked out Otavai? How did he miss the demon statues and the vampire cult and the bleeding SoulSieve in the middle of the Golden Pagoda!? At the very least the ancient Blood Fountain should have had Dark Magic screaming out at him. Grey Star must have been in a hurry to get back to Tanith on that inspection!

Let's talk about the game play. What are in your opinion the most important items to get and most useful path to follow? In my opinion the shield with +3cs and kelderwoods path leading to improved dessi stone +2cs or improved platinum amulet +2end. You will get Sesketera's spear in the main path so it's not really a choice... Other paths are interesting but they seem to not give permanent boost for the next book. I missed out on the Shield (see above) and I didn't bring a Platinum Amulet (think mine got randomly destroyed in 30, but I have GNexus so- what the hell. Annoyed I missed the Munchkin bonus. Got another +2Medallion though, I feel like my character must look like a 70s soul singer now, with all the Amulets and Medallions hanging around his neck. I LOVE the Naarvakim Spear though. Oh my Kai, it's my new favourite toy. Every combat I'm like 'can I throw the Spear first?' BOOM, you're half dead already and you haven't even touched me! QUESTION. Can I use Kai Surge with the Spear? I assume Yes, as it's just like normal combat..? I normally subtract an extra END point though, even though we're technically on Round Zero. ANOTHER QUESTION. I assume if you have the Grand Weaponmastery 'quickdraw' ability you can draw another weapon? |
