Ah, yes! I downloaded everything ages ago, then allowed myself to get completely sidetracked. I played through the first book a couple of times and had a great time. Seems like I should get back on the Lone Wolf wagon and enjoy everything. Thanks for the link and reminder!

Great thoughts, Roger. I’ve been meaning to give the Lone Wolf series a whirl, just to say I’ve gone through some of the gamebooks! How those escaped me during childhood still amazes me.

It’s also interesting about playing the character vs. the game mechanics. I always feel like I want to do more with solo RPGs, yet a lot of board games seem to work well for me. It’s fun to try out new systems and find out what works, though!

It’s not really been my sort of thing since – not that I didn’t enjoy them at the time, but I felt that I’d done that, and when various publishers started again recently I wasn’t grabbed. I feel that many styles of fantasy story are better handled by tactical boardgames like Descent or Gloomhaven (or indeed Gloom of Kilforth!), and if I move more in a role-playing direction from there I like to play the character rather than a game-mechanics challenge. Which isn’t really a thing one can do solo, or rather if one does one’s writing a book rather than playing a game. 🙂

Thank you very much, Todd! Technically, I have proper reviews currently on my to-do list for these Graphic Novel Adventures. Although my so-called sessions usually are mini-reviews. I can’t seem not to write a lot. Ha ha!

It’s always great to read how my obscure choices help spread the word about some lesser-known titles. If all goes well, I’m hoping to continue steadily playing through my collection! So many solo board games, so little time.

All the best to you!
