Back to your regularly scheduled programming…

The first German language edition of Lone Wolf 1 (i.e. the extended version) has been nominated for the German RPC Fantasy Award, the German equivalent of an Origins Award.

The award is determined by us, the fans. We can vote for the German edition of Lone Wolf 1, titled Einsamer Wolf 1—Flucht aus dem Dunkel.

The winner and runners-up will be announced at the Role-playing Convention in Cologne on Sunday, April 18th. Joe Dever will be attending the show as a guest of Manticor Books, the German publisher of the Lone Wolf collector editions, so let’s help Lone Wolf/Einsamer Wolf receive this award!

In line with the previous two years, we at Project Aon have compiled an annual report, a brief retrospective of the work undertaken in the calendar year 2009. We also lay out a tentative roadmap for what we hope to achieve in 2010.

The file can be downloaded here.

Let’s hope that 2010 will be as productive as 2009 proved to be.

For Sommerlund and the Kai!

Scifi-Universe did a 25 minute, bilingual interview with Joe Dever.

Here’s a Le Grimoire interview of Joe Dever, though it’s only one part of three. I can’t seem to locate the other parts. A little help?

My appetite for 29–32 is definitely whetted!

Update: Original video disappeared. Fixed.

Update 2: The entire interview has now been posted in four parts: part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4.

Update 3: Please note the credits for this video:

Production: Tupac Portugal
Presenters/Translators: Paul Gresty and Sophie Ehrsam

We get the text of the Lone Wolf books by scanning them and running the images through OCR software that converts the images to text files. The software isn’t perfect. Part of the reason it takes us so blasted long to publish the books is the effort required to pick up after the OCR program.

Sometimes these scanning errors are amusing. This time, LeRoy McSwain caught one that makes perfect sense, and we wanted to share this with you. Can you spot what’s wrong?

You spur your horse to the gallop and steer him towards the palisade. The guards see you bearing down and one of them panics and pees.(Mydnight’s Hero, Section 189)

We toyed briefly with the idea of pretending we never found it and leaving it in the book, but good sense (regrettably) prevailed.

Nate Furman sent us a special treat. He says this sampler is what clinched the deal for him to illustrate The Plague Lords of Ruel for Mongoose. He wanted everyone to be able to enjoy it. (It won’t be published with the Lone Wolf books because it has nothing to do with LW.)
