Hello, all! I'm not sure if anyone else here has ever played through the Gamebook series "Lone Wolf" by Joe Dever. It is a fantastic series, an epic adventure in the Choose Your Own format (but with battles and magic) with a single character spanning 20 books (and then 9 more books were written after starring a new character, before Joe passed away last year). The books were highly influential for an entire subset of gamers and DMs, not least of all myself, who has found Dever's influence to sneak into pretty much everything I do. I reference it several times in my campaign journals.
I have long wanted to do a solo run of Lone Wolf with a player, using the rules from 5e, which seem to me to perfectly fit the simple nature of the original rules and seem best suited to quickly convert its myriad of situations and adventures. Everywhere from deep disease ridden jungles to frozen wastelands, from other planes to high seas adventures, Lone Wolf eventually takes you there.
Well, for a couple of months now, I've been doing just that. You can tune in at MorgaKnight's Twitch channel, linked below. The videos will stay up for a week or two after the event and then will be transferred to a permanent YouTube location... see below for that as well! At the time of this posting we have twelve episodes, but only five have currently been uploaded.
Barring real-life interruptions, we play regularly on Saturdays at 11:00am (PST) so if you ever want to tune in live, you can.
I hope anyone who has interest will join us!

Past Episodes:
Episode 1: Flight From the Dark (up to the Gourgaz fight) (*Note that this was our first time and we had some technical issues. Nothing too bad, and nothing experience breaking, but my audio is a little choppy to start. My audio gets much better after the first hour, when we switched audio programs. It is fixed for the rest of the episode and future episodes!)
Episode 2: Flight From the Dark (up to book's end)
Episode 3: Fire on the Water (up to Ragadorn)
Episode 4: Fire on the Water (up to Hammerdal)
Episode 5: Fire on the Water (up to the adventure's end)
