Joe Dever's Lone Wolf Choose Your Own Adventure book series was first published in the early 1980's when I was a young teen and a fan myself, having owned about 6 of the original books in paperback format. About a week prior to recording this video, I discovered that the series was recently reprinted with additional content. So, being the kid-at-heart that I still am in my 50's, I just had to buy the first book and share it with you, whether you are new to the series, or have played them before, perhaps even back in the 80's like me.

I actually second this. This would be amazing. Would buy 1,287,569,348 copies for everyone at the sanitarium.

So happy that the Lone Wolf series has made a resurgence. I used to read them as a kid in the 80s, the original writer sadly died a few years ago but the son took up the mantle and started creating new books in the series I believe.

Thank you for this. As the genra cyoa popularized and internet grew, so much content I find to be superficial (copycat/trend) that I couldn't find old masterpiece since I didn't rememberred the title. Not only you provided me a video but also the title of lone wolf wich was one of my favorite. Thanks a lot.

I'm not familiar with Lone Wolf (it's hard to get a copy in my country) though I have heard of it. However I am familiar with Fighting Fantasy and other solo-RPG books. Thanks for the video, if they are republishing I might be able to get one.

I've had the app for years, through multiple phones, this is the best CYOA series, also because your character progresses through the books instead of just oneshots. Another great series is Fire*Wolf, but sadly it only has 4 books.

I created a n adventure story like this as an Android app about 8 years ago or so. It started out as a simple short story but then I adapted it into a branching multiple fate kind of thing like this. In my marketing I actually called it a "choose your own adventure" and the publishers of the original CYOA from the 80's, like the book you have here, contacted me and said I couldn't use that phrase. Apparently it's copyrighted? Well, I assume "decide your adventure" or some variation would be ok.

I hate to do this, but as someone who lives on the Indiana-Kentucky line and has heard every pronunciation of the city name, I must say that is SO not how you say Louisville. But to be fair, that is a completely permissible way to assume it's meant to be said. Also I'm so glad you were able to get ASMR from reading that intro! Desensitization is really sad, especially with as enchanting a feeling as ASMR often is. It's great to find little things that are able to do that for you.

I recall that every time I read one if these books, I never actually did as the book said, and would just read the book as one would normally read any other book, in attempt to see what order everything as arranged in it. Of course, I would then read it as it was intended to be read, because I didn't actually remember what I'd read when seeing the order of events in the book.

Hey ER, this is random but have you ever played Enderal? It's a game made using skyrim's engine and I recently discovered it and it is so good, it's for free on steam. It's sort of like a modpack for skyrim, but it turns it into another game, another world, another story, and it's really well built. Plus it's really easy to install it
