Gameplay

Lone Wolf books rely on a combination of thought and luck. Certain statistics such as combat skill and endurance attributes are determined randomly before play. The player is then allowed to choose Grandmaster Kai disciplines and a selection of Dessi and Crystal Star magics. This number depends directly on how many books in the series have been completed ("Grandmaster rank"). With each additional book completed, the player chooses one additional discipline. The Grandmaster series is different from any in the previous series of books because it gives Lone Wolf spells to use which grow more numerous as his Grandmaster Rank increases.

Plot

Reception

This game is notable for the very elaborate plot and the extremely difficult combat skill of the Deathlord, making him one of the hardest of all opponents in the entire gameseries.

gollark: Some nice simple things I get out of it:
gollark: How is that related?
gollark: Also, unable to use search engines somehow.
gollark: I think the nice thing about Linuxen is that once you know some things the rest comes reasonably easily from there; unlike with Windows, where you can do the basic stuff easily but struggle to do complex things.
gollark: Probably mount configs, I think.
