That's always been my estimation of the Grey Star adventures: content over rules system. While it is very annoying to try to play the books (though the Project Aon editions are supremely superior to the published books!), simply reading the story and making the decisions is eminently enjoyable, and he tells an excellent story. Did we ever contact him to tell him all four of his books are online? He mentioned something about other unpublished works when we contacted him originally, and I would love to be involved in making such works available to Lone Wolf fans around the world.
We haven't contacted him. Will you take the lead on this?
