List of Lone Wolf media

The following is a list of media published in the Lone Wolf series of gamebooks, and other derivative media based on the gamebooks. The original gamebook series, and the bulk of subsequent Lone Wolf media, was written by Joe Dever. The success and cult status of the original gamebooks helped in the creation of a spin-off called The World of Lone Wolf, written by Ian Page, a series of novelizations, a collection of role-playing games, other gamebooks set in the same universe, a number of video games and other derivative works.

Main gamebook series
Although they form one full series numbered 1 to 32, the Lone Wolf gamebooks are in fact subdivided in four subseries. In the Kai Series (books 1 to 5), we follow Lone Wolf as he climbs the steps to become a Kai Lord of the Magnakai level. In the Magnakai Series (books 6 to 12), Lone Wolf collects the Lorestones so he could reach the Grand Master level, the highest level a Kai Lord could achieve in the First Kai Order. In the Grand Master series (books 13 to 20), Lone Wolf discovers that there are even higher levels a Kai Lord could achieve, up to the point of Supreme Kai Master. In the New Order series (books 21 to 32), we play as a member of the Second Kai Order already at the level of a Grand Master. The yet to be published book 32 will belong to this subseries.

The World of Lone Wolf
All four World of Lone Wolf books were written by Ian Page and edited by Joe Dever. In 2005 the gamebooks were made available for free download at Project Aon.

The series plays for the most part at the tip of south-eastern Magnamund, in the land then known as the Shadakine Empire, and features Grey Star, a human that was raised by the Shianti, a race of demi-gods.

According to a 2008 interview with Joe Dever, Grey Star was actually the principal character that Ian Page played in Dever's Dungeons & Dragons campaign in the late 1970s. Since Ian Page had created a detailed backstory for Grey Star and fleshed out many aspects of southern Magnamund, Joe Dever convinced him to write a four-book story arc centered on this character, and to include his contributions in the Magnamund setting.

In February 2015, Joe Dever announced on Facebook that the World of Lone Wolf series will be republished in deluxe edition by Mantikore Verlag in German. In November 2016, Megara Entertainment launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to republish the first book of this series in English. A subsequent successfully-funded campaign failed to produce any rewards for backers and Megara Entertainment was later dissolved.

Autumn Snow
In the years 2010–2011, the French associative editor Scriptarium published original adventures in its webzine Draco Venturus. These adventures formed the Autumn Snow series, featuring the eponymous female Kai Lord from the Second Kai Order, and is written by French-Canadian author Martin Charbonneau. In September 2014, Megara Entertainment announced that it would publish these adventures in a gamebook format, both in French and English. Joe Dever approved the series which features artwork by Gary Chalk. However, Megara Entertainment closed before the whole series was published.

In episode 20 of the podcast Journeys Through Magnamund, it was announced that Holmgard Press would publish the seven planned books of the series.

The Huntress
In February 2024, Holmgard Press released The Huntress, a trilogy of gamebooks written by long-time fan Jonathan Stark. This trilogy is set 50 years before the start of the main series and features a bounty-hunter known as The Huntress trying to recover her memory. But the search of her past will also lead her to discover truths that could have an impact on all Magnamund.

A prologue to the trilogy, called Shadows Over Fire, was published online and can be played for free.

Bonus adventures
With the republication of the Lone Wolf series, Mongoose Publishing decided to add a bonus adventure at the end of each gamebook, except for Flight from the Dark. This concept was continued by Mantikore-Verlag and Holmgard Press in subsequent books, except for The Dusk of Eternal Night. These bonus adventures mainly feature a supporting character of the main story of the gamebook and have their own set of rules. They were written by different authors with the approbation of Joe Dever who edited and augmented their work while he was alive. After his death, staff at Holmgard Press took over the supervising duty. Contrary to the main adventures which nearly all have 350 sections, these bonus stories don't have a fixed number of sections.

Although most of them are not linked to each other, five of these adventures form the Dire Series featuring the same character, a Talestrian soldier cursed with undeath and blessed by Kai. Equipment and abilities can be carried over during the course of this subseries. With the release of the Collector's Edition of the Lone Wolf series, French publisher Megara Entertainment planned to also republish the World of Lone Wolf series in a Collector's Edition format with bonus adventures. However, financial woes prevented the publication of any other books past the first one.

In other languages
In Sweden, the republication of the books include brand new official bonus adventures starting with book 8. Although originally written in English, these adventures have yet to be published in that language. In Germany, some new bonus adventures were published in certain books of the main Lone Wolf series (LW) and the spin-of World of Lone Wolf series (WoLW). One has even been published as a complete separated gamebook. Again, they have yet to be published in English. They were all written by Alexander Kühnert.

Legends of Lone Wolf
A series of novelizations by John Grant (the nom de plume of Paul Barnett) were released entitled "Legends of Lone Wolf". They expanded on the adventures by introducing new characters (or fleshing out old ones from the book series), events and whole new stories.

Dark Quest Books announced plans to release five omnibuses containing all twelve novels. , three omnibuses can be ordered on the Dark Quest Books website.

Chronicles of Magnamund
When Mongoose Publishing announced that it would republish the Lone Wolf series of gamebooks, it was also announced that two new trilogies of novels would be written under the generic name of Chronicles of Magnamund. The first novel, The Dragons of Lencia, is part of the Lencian Trilogy, written by Richard Ford. The second novel, Glory & Greed, is part of the trilogy named Rise of the Agarashi and is written by August Hahn, author of the first official version of the Lone Wolf Roleplaying Game. Both trilogies are set in the year MS 5100, 50 years after the events described in the first gamebook of the Lone Wolf series, Flight from the Dark. Since the cancellation of the Lone Wolf line by Mongoose Publishing, nothing is known about the fate of both trilogies.
