| Topic | Joe Dever, author of the Lone Wolf gamebooks, has died |
| OmegaM 07/18/17 9:47:46 PM #1: | Actually, he died around 8 months ago, but I only just heard about it. https://www.projectaon.org/en/blog/2016/11/bearing-sad-news/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Dever How sad; he was only 60. I thought the Lone Wolf books were a great variation on standard CYOA books because you could try to get through them with different starting skill sets while still hitting your favorite parts of the stories. That said, starting with book 13, it got a bit silly how powerful the regular enemies had to be to keep up with your powers, and the books started to fall into the rut of having to stop one random powerful villain after another. The first 12 books formed a nice mostly-continuous story, though. I wasn't desperately waiting for him to finish the Lone Wolf series (as you can guess by my only just having learned of his death), but I am sad he was rather young when he died. Did you ever read any Lone Wolf books? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
