A new interactive Kindle edition of the extended version of Flight from the Dark has gone on sale in the United States (Europe and the rest of the world to follow in the future).
I haven’t had a chance to check it out, but from what I understand, it’s supposed to keep track of game stats for you. Can anyone confirm?

CyberLudus did an interesting interview with Joe Dever that covers not only the new computer game but offers some interesting details about the gamebooks themselves.
We’ve just received word that Joe Dever has signed a licensing deal with Italian entertainment Atlantyca that promises to bring us lots of Lone Wolf goodness, including a Lone Wolf game for PC, Mac, consoles, Android, and iPad/iPhone. The news was officially announced at the GamesCom Show in Cologne, Germany.
The game has a website and a game teaser trailer. We’ll share more info as it becomes available.
Update: Forge Reply is the actual games developer handling the Lone Wolf project.
The armies of the Darklands spread terror across Magnamund under the personal banners of their vile Darklord masters. Joe Dever has given us permission to publish the battle banners for all twenty Darklords as illustrated in The Darklands, a forthcoming supplement for the Lone Wolf Multiplayer system published by Mongoose Publishing.
For Sommerlund and the Kai!

Gary Chalk’s website went offline many moons ago, but he’s back online with a shiny new website (and he’s @garychalkpics on twitter). It’s good to have him back.
Lone Wolf has been abducted by the forces of the Dark God Naar and imprisoned in a remote city-fortress on the border of the Darklands. Subjected to relentless attacks by the minions of evil, the Supreme Master of the Kai is surely doomed to die unless a rescue can be effected swiftly and successfully.
In Trail of the Wolf, you must venture alone into the dreaded stronghold of Gazad Helkona to find and free your leader. Can you succeed in your vital mission . . . or will you fall foul of the horrors that lurk within this Darklands city-fortress?
We at Project Aon pray to Ishir and Kai for your success, Grand Master.

My wife gave me a NOOK (I think that’s how you’re supposed to capitalize the name) last holiday season, so I thought I should try out our new simplified, illustrated edition on the newfangled gadget. I used Calibre to convert it to EPUB optimized for the NOOK. Seems to work well enough.
If you have a NOOK, give it a shot. Otherwise, I’ll take requests for other devices from this list.
Just a quick announcement that we’ve published a new book format for Rune War which is simple yet includes the illustrations. It should be great for ebook readers and mobile browsers (although it is much heavier than the unillustrated format – watch your data charges!). At the very least, as books are published or republished we will add this format to those books as well.
For Sommerlund and the Kai!

Dear Kai Lords
Project Aon are pleased to announce that we have been granted permission by Random House and Joe Dever to make a PDF facsimile of this rare piece of Lone Wolf memorabilia available on our site, the Lone Wolf 10th Anniversary Calendar.
Also updated today were the Combat Heroes books Emerald Enchanter and Scarlet Sorcerer to fix a number of bugs and typos.
For Sommerlund and the Kai!

Giak is the common tongue of the foul denizens of the Darklands. Joe Dever has provided a greatly expanded Giak word list with over 250 new words.
As the former maintainer of a Giak dictionary and tutorial, I’m very excited to see a new official word list. Giak geeks rejoice!
