Lone Wolf

This is yet another series of gamebooks that I used to spend time with. One of the key features of the Lone Wolf series is that it doesn't require a set of dice to play. Instead, there is this page at the back of the book with a whole table of numbers, and you are just supposed to close your eyes and put a pencil on the page to get a number.

As the last surviving Kai lord, you are supposed to let the rest of the world know that disaster has struck, and at the same time, learn the skills to become a grandmaster Kai lord, so that you can help to rebuild the order.

For whatever reason (probably the fact that I discovered it first), Fighting Fantasy was the gamebook series that ended up consuming my gamebook playing days as a teen. As a result, I still have yet to read a Lone Wolf book yet.

Now that I am a gamebook writer, I will have to make a conscious decision at some stage to have a look at a Lone Wolf story, just to see another way of how gamebooks are/were done and maybe get some ideas.
