I'm new to gaming in general and had never heard of gamebooks before. Now I'm thoroughly curious and interested. Off to explore! (and I have a fantastic starting point, ty)

That's fantastic, johnny! (Now, what kind of interview would it take to convince you to loan me a few thousand bucks?) 😵

Fantastic interview with Jonathan Stark, the author of the new Line Wolf Huntress trilogy. The passion both Jonathan and JQ share for these books is palpable. I'll have to grab myself some copies!

Thank you, Croaker! Jonathan really put his heart into these books, and I am thrilled he shared a bit more of that heart with us here at Rediscovered Realms.

Man, I haven't done a book like this since the Star Wars ones I did as a kid. Kinda forgot this format existed.

I didn't realize there were Star Wars gamebooks, Jacob! Now I'm going to have to track them down.

Yeah! I had a few of them as a set. They came with a plastic box that also included a d6 and some character sheets. I don't remember much else since that was way back in middle school.

Great interview, J.Q. and these new books sound great so I’ll need to check them out. The Lone Wolf books, and particularly that iconic cover from the first edition, influenced so many of my characters from D&D as well as the types of books I would go on to read. It will be interesting returning to this world after 40 years and see how it holds up and if I can remember any of it. Thanks for another wonderful trip down memory lane 👍🏼

Great interview. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on the Huntress series when it becomes available. Any author who can recognize the brilliance of Pyrdain and Taran Wanderer is alright in my book.
