Taking a few questions directly to Joe would be really grand :) Kind of like the old lonewolf club magazines! My 'burning' questions are: - the rerolling point (discussed ad-nauseum above); - is healing / curing / laumspur intended to cure any type of damage, or only 'physical' damage (and...

Do you reckon we could get a signed affidavit from Joe on this point? :lol: Its funny but given how many hours I spend dying in the lair of Ixia I would actually pay money for that. Maybe we could do a kickstarter campaign to reprint book 13 with an amended introduction ! :mrgreen:

Very interesting! Did this come directly from Joe himself? If so, how would one recalculate CS and EP? (I'm guessing you would have to reroll both). Say I have a base CS of 19, which has increased to 24 from circle bonuses. I then roll a 0 for my "training" so I now have 25 CS, or do my...

Actually - on reflection one reservation I have is whether on a 'strict' approach it is realistically possible to complete bk17 without the kagonite chainmail. The fights are hard enough but without the bonus +3 to cs and the adgana you also get it could be downright crazy hard. For example...

In my experience of playing the GM books very strictly (albeit with a guaranteed starting roll of 9 for CS), books 13-16 are quite reasonable in terms of difficulty (if you take into account the +20 ep from advanced curing). Without kagonite chainmail book 14 is reasonably hard (although you...

An underwater adventure fighting undead - I love it! Just make sure to bring Ulnarius (even if is still damaged after book 27!) As to progress, I appreciate Mongoose for all their efforts and expect they are going as fast as they can. Joe has obviously had health concerns and this has to come...

Presumably its a typo because they are destroyed in the last book. On the other hand, it would be cheesy but technically you could put them in safe storage to avoid losing them in book 16. (Although I recall Helshezag does permanent EP drain now which would be nasty). Its not as bad as the...

Thank you everyone for the clarification. His undead status explains the reasoning for having such a high CS score. I **would** love to know whether you are expected to use the sommerswerd in the undead city, or whether there is a clear point at which you can use it all the time (as that also...

Thanks for your input Vincent, are you writing the mini-adventure? Across the board CS reductions would help, OR at least some indication that lone wolf can use the sommerswerd in certain situations. I flicked through the book the other day and it seemed that regular enemies had between 48 and...

Regarding whether Ixitaaga is undead, the project aon errata notes seem to think so - taken from their site: so: According to Mongoose Publishing's Lone Wolf, The Roleplaying Game ((c) 2004): "As trapped by the wave of unlife as his people, Ixiataaga has researched the lore of death and magic...

Given we are nearly up to book 17 I think this posting needs a 'bump' to the top :)

Wow! GREAT work mongoose (and Dever). That means that in most cases a veteran character should always survive that paragraph (assuming optimal discipline choices). No more 40% instant death. And the riddle change is great as well. Now just fingers crossed the difficulty is REALLY sorted in...

Presumably the riddle has the missing bit of information so it works now? :) WHo is the mini game hero - Alyss? Is paragraph 143 still the same? (the one that kills you instantly 30 - 40% of the time) ...and lastly can you take all 10 special items from pre-book 13 with you? (the old...

I was hoping that they were spending the time fixing that horrible 40% instant death paragraph :)

It could be stretching it to suggest that all of Ixiataagia's minions were also created by a magical object, but I like the idea of having an adventure where you can realistically go around smashing enemies with something other than the Swerd. The point about not using the Sommerswerd is...
