  • Episode 43: The Final Word (Part 3 of the Rockstarn Saga)
    Feb 12 2026

    August and Jonathan's final words about Rockstarn contain spoilers for characters and events that occur in the latter half of the video game, while providing answers that a sequel never got to. But these are not just our last words -- Joe Dever's voice ends this game, and while it isn't the final tale that he got to tell in Magnamund, this was his final narration.

  • Episode 42: Beyond the Sunken Forest (Part 2 of the Rockstarn Saga)
    Feb 5 2026

    With a total of four Acts, each broken into multiple chapters, the Lone Wolf video game has too much to offer to cover in a single episode. In August and Jonathan's follow up episode, you will explore what makes Drakkarim swole, learn about the Kai fighting style, dive deeper into Shianti machinations, discover what Pure Bronin is (and why you shouldn't make a mace out of it like Jonathan did), and take a glimpse into the ranks of the Vordak to find out why they are more frightening than most of us who read the gamebooks are aware.

  • Episode 41: Blood on the Snow (Part 1 of the Rockstarn Saga)
    Jan 1 2026

    In 2013, Joe Dever realized his dream of turning Lone Wolf into an epic video game experience. Far from the primitive trappings of earlier attempts, Blood on the Snow would incorporate the latest gaming innovations of its time and full 3D models to present Magnamund as never before. For this adventure, new lore would be written, lore which today Jonathan and August explore. Find out all about the game's character of Leandra, what the art tells us about Magnamund, get Jonathan's tips for first time players, and hear behind the scenes details shared for the first time by August, who worked on the game.
