27th February 2006:
Updated: The Skull of Agarash has been updated with reduced margins. Also enforced has been a standard image size, 277mm x 190mm which fits snugly against the margins to leave as little room as possible for useless whitespace.
That's it folks--the final scheduled update! This last month has been a blast, but I sincerely hope I won't have to ever do it again! Peace.
27th February 2006:
Updated: The following Lone Wolf Club Newsletters have been updated with better quality graphics and layout: Summer Special 1986, New Year's Special 1987, Summer Special 1987, 9, 25, 26. Newsletters 28 and the 1993 New Year's Special have also been updated to fix a couple of minor typos in each.
Phew! That's it, folks, the Newsletters are revamped. Only The Skull of Agarash to rework, and then I'm going to take a break from PDFs for a while. Hopefully.
25th February 2006:
Despite Hell, high water, and a complete Windows reinstall, things continue apace with the Club Newsletters.
Updated: The following Lone Wolf Club Newsletters have been updated with better quality graphics and layout: 5, 6, 7, 8, 23, 24. Only six more newsletters left to revamp.
19th February 2006:
Updated: The following Lone Wolf Club Newsletters have been updated with better quality graphics and layout: 1, 2, 3, 4, 27, Summer Special 1985, New Year's Special 1986. By my reckoning, that makes 2/3 of the Newsletters complete, and leaves twelve left to do.
14th February 2006:
Updated: Lone Wolf Club Newsletters 10 through 21 have been slightly updated to more accurately reflect the contributors to each one. Also, Newsletters 22, 28, 29, 30, and the 1993 New Year's Special have also been updated with better quality graphics and layout.

7th February 2006:
Hot on the heels of yesterday's massive overhal comes another major update.
Updated: Lone Wolf Club Newsletters 15 through 21 now have no missing pages, thanks to Lone Wolf fan Dominic Roberts. The artwork in these files have also been updated to be the highest quality it can be, with many smaller images being replaced by copies used in Project Aon's own editions. Work will continue with the remaining twenty-nine Club Newsletters (sigh), but this will take weeks, and since there will be no new content--unless you can provide scans for any of the pages listed as missing above--no ETA will be given.
6th February 2006:
This is a biggie!
Updated: all non-Newsletter PDF files. Typos are fixed, layout improved source files streamlined, PDF files optimised. LW_Misc now contains a copy of the letter sent out to subscribers to the PhoneQuest game The Fortress of Doom, as well as scans of the credit-card-sized card for keeping game details on. That was a lot of work. I really should lie down.
5th February 2006:
Updated: The Magnamund Companion updated again with miscellaneous minute fixes.
4th February 2006:
Updated: Lone Wolf--The Mirror of Death updated again to include the 'Psi Surge' caveat.
Big thanks go out to Dominic Roberts who has sent us scans of 16--I repeat 16--previously missing pages. Work has begun on updating Newsletters 15-21, and should be completed sometime next week.
23rd January 2006:
Updated: Lone Wolf--The Mirror of Death now has a very silly typo fixed. Optimised for Acrobat 6.0.
22nd January 2006:
Updated: LW Misc has been updated to contain the following adverts and articles, courtesy of the hard-working Ed Jolley: Combat Heroes ½-page ad from Proteus #7; a two-page advert for Combat Heroes from Warlock #12; a portion of an article from Warlock #12 regarding the then-forthcoming The Jungle of Horrors; a similar full-page article from Warlock #13 regarding forthcoming books by Joe Dever; and finally a full-page advert for The Magnamund Companion, also from Warlock #13.
Also revamped is the Project Aon User License which now has a sleek new look. Having dropped the font size, reduced the space between the text, and upped the columns, this now fits on two pages instead of three. Effort will be made to update all PDF files to use this new style over the next 12-18 months. Perhaps. Maybe.
16th January 2006:
Updated: Newsletters #7 and New Year's Special 1987 both updated to fix minor typos (as reported by Thomas Wolmer). Both optimised.

Updated: LW Misc file now contains three more adverts courtesy of Ed Jolley. Two of these adverts appeared in the Warlock magazine c. 1985, and the third comes from White Dwarf issue #63 from around the same period. The file has been slightly rearranged so that adverts are now sorted alphabetically by magazine, and then chronologically.

Updated: GamesMaster International #3 article. A couple more typos quashed.
19th December 2005:
Revised: Fixed all links, which were broken by the change in directory structure on the webhost.
Updated: GamesMaster International #3 article has been completely revised and is now line-accurate to the original version (i.e. each line of text should now have the exact same layout and contain exactly the same number of characters as the original printed article). Heading text has been replaced by a scan of the original to remove ugly white space. Columns are now equidistant throughout. Drop Caps have been properly implemented. Quality of the non-colour images, and the tiny pic of Joe himself, has been much improved. Coloured text has been fixed and properly formatted on the Competition page. Errata has now been noted.
6th December 2005:
Revised: The Lone Wolf / Joe Dever FAQ and Pricelists files are now part of the LW Misc file.

8th August 2005:
Revised: All files (finally). All files are now fixed to remove the annoying red line that marred some of the illustrations in earlier editions. This is an issue caused by MS Word when exporting certain two-colour PNG pictures to PDF format.
19th May 2005:
Added: Lone Wolf Originals file. This file contains scans of some rare Lone Wolf graphics: maps drawn by Joe Dever himself! Thanks go out to Stuart Bradshaw for scanning these pictures in.
Updated: Project Aon User License, Joe Dever / Lone Wolf FAQ, LW Misc, Pricelists, GamesMaster International #3 article, and Lone Wolf - Mirror of Death (instructions).

9th April 2004:
Updated: Everything! (Again) All PDF files should now be free of errors and unreadable text. Hopefully. Maybe.
4th April 2004:
Updated: Everything! All PDF files now include a Project Aon Title Page and the Project Aon User License. All PDFs have been recreated using the full version of Acrobat 4, leading to a drastic reduction in file size of some of the larger files. This update is with a view to the Lone Wolf Club Newsletters being officially released by Project Aon.
30th January 2004:
Updated: LW Misc file now contains the full-page advert for Lone Wolf Audiobook 1 that was originally printed in the July 1992 issue of Dragon magazine, page 93. If memory serves, the same advert was repeated in a subsequent issue.

It also contains a couple of nice full-colour shots of Peter Andrew Jones' cover artwork.
11th November 2003:
