[projectaon] Re: Editor's Companion Submission

Jon, I see you're opting for the phrase
"World of Lone Wolf adventures" rather than "Grey Star adventures".

I did consider this when I drafted my footnotes -
The publishers clearly did brand these "World of Lone Wolf" adventures
(eg on the front covers), however I wanted to see if I could
avoid the phrase if possible, as it seemed a little unwieldy -
and when you look at the existing text of "The Game Rules", you'll
see that Page & Dever apparently thought likewise -
the rules consistently refer to "Grey Star adventures".
(Moreover, being even more pedantic ;-) this may be technically
correct as well, since Lone Wolf Club Newsletters indicate that
Dever did intend further "World of Lone Wolf" books which were not
*Grey Star* books [eg with Banedon] - however these rules which
we are footnoting do specifically refer to *Grey Star adventures*....)
