For those of you who remember Choose Your Own Adventure books and the various game books from the 80s and early 90s this post is for you.

Project Aon is volunteer project dedicated to reprinting and rereleasing the Lone Wolf books with the full cooperation of their original author, Joe Dever. They have completely formatted and allowed their versions of ALL of the Lone Wolf books to be played and downloaded from their web site.

The books are all in HTML format and can be either played on the site or downloaded and played off line. There are a few programs available to help with this, also available on the site.

My favorite program is called Seventh Sense and is available here: http://www.projectaon.org/staff/david/
this version of the program only has the first five books set up so far, and has a bug, but is easily corrected using these instructions: http://projectaon.proboards.com/inde...ay&thread=1799

You can download another program, called the Base program which will allow you to download and play ALL of the books. Both the Base program and the zip with all of the books are available in the “Special Download Package” section here: http://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Books
Once you have the base program and books you will need to copy the book folders into the base program to use them.
I would also suggest downloading the Statskeeper and Lone Wolf Action Chart which are available at the same address under the “Tools” section.

Obviously this whole set up is a little bit rudimentary, but with a little effort these books come back to life. If you have an ebook reader with an HTML web browser you can even load the base program and books onto it and play them that way. Project Aon could use some fresh ideas and some new blood, so any help in promoting and advancing the cause would be welcome.

If you have any questions you can contact Project Aon here:

or go to their forum here:

or send me a PM and I will try to help out.
