Fighting Fantasy was great too, but Lone Wolf had just one character (with a second  much later on) played across 30 different books, all with a continuing narrative. I'm sure you'll love everyone's favourite Kai Lord. 😊

Doh, I have the Freeway Warrior books on my shelves and I still forgot about them when I wrote that post! Thanks, GreyLord. :) (By the way, if you haven't already, check out the new Definitive Editions of the LW gamebooks that Ben Dever, Joe's son, is producing over at Magnamund.com.)

Two fantasy writers pretty much defined my childhood - David Eddings, who did the Belgariad/Malloreon and the Elenium/Tamuli, and Joe Dever, who wrote the Lone Wolf gamebooks. Dever only wrote one franchise and I even met him once, as opposed to Eddings, who wrote multiple franchises and turned...

Books 8, 9 and 10 have now arrived! (The map is the inside of the cover for Dungeons of Torgar.)

Oof. That one's brutal. :(

You could simply lean into its reputation for light and/or godliness, by saying that orichalchum weapons counts as magic for the purposes of damage reduction when used against undead, and they deal one extra point of radiant damage at all times. Orichalcum armour, on the other hand, might grant...

I can think of three obvious ideas: An ancient ruin housing mystical inscriptions or a long-hidden holocron, teaching a Force-user a lost Force power A secret super-weapon, perhaps in disrepair (or in need of destruction) A lost world, either a bountiful paradise for colonisation or maybe a...

If the simulacrum has no spells and can only share yours, you've essentially come up with a complicated way to burn spell slots even faster than normal.

Are you confusing "season" with "episode"? Voyager liked using the reset button, but only within that story, and there was precisely  one episode to my knowledge where it's revealed that we're actually following a different Voyager crew.

I'm fairly tolerant of my TV, provided that it's not gory, particularly sweary, or too dark/quiet to see/hear anything (my senses are not getting any sharper with age!). By those measures, I have far more issue with Discovery's tendency to shoot in gloomy conditions and mumble an alarming...

So, the first two Magnakai books have arrived! Not only is Gary Chalk's artwork once more in the books, they come with an attractive dustsheet that doubles as a full-colour map and even a fancy bookmark. (Also featured are some of the earlier hardbacks.)

Well, as soon as they referenced Chekhov's Resurrection Token at the start of the film, I knew that someone was going to be resurrected, and it was unlikely to be his wife.
