Great to hear from you again, Michael! Good to hear you're passing Lone
Wolf down to the next generation. :)
Feedback is always welcome, and we're still in the business of fixing
anything that needs fixing. We have become more conservative with our
interventions, so your new perspective probably aligns pretty well.
It hasn't been announced publicly yet, but we're currently working on
publishing Lone Wolf 29, so bandwidth is limited, but we'll get to your
suggestions when time permits. Fire away!
Best,
Jon

Hello!
Love what you've done with the place, so to speak. I was one of Jonathan
Blake's early recruits and I'd love it if whoever first reads this refers the
message to him, not that I mind whoever else in the crew reads it. I'm
probably best remembered as the architect of the "compromise" over the Magic
Spear at Tarnalin (or maybe that's how I most want to be remembered and not
so much for some of my outlandish errata ideas re Special Items).
After "moving on" oh so long ago, I figured out how to date, got married,
became a lawyer, and had a couple of kids. Lo and behold, my wife and kids
are as geeky as I am and my wife and I just finished Shadow on the Sand with
my 11-year-old daughter. Along with that came the rediscovery of my own more
perfectionistic solo relationship with the replay of the books. I am now
play-testing a viable path through the CE revisions with minimal stats and a
few subtle rules tweaks that I intend to share soon with the forums.
More to the point, I have noticed lots of things in the current internet
editions that might bear fixing up. In some cases, these are plain syntactic
goofs, but more often it's areas where I think better choices might have been
made (albeit based on concrete reasons and not just whims) or where I think
the crew may have overstepped or been too presumptive (something I was
definitely guilty of as well on at least a couple points way back when). I
recall the operation being very feedback friendly, but I also wonder whether
it's worth it to spend some of my limited free time on such an endeavor,
depending on what your policy is about publishing new changes at this late
date.
Regardless of such occasional constructive criticism, know that my admiration
for the work that you continued in my absence remains high and that I deeply
appreciate it all. Joe Dever's passing makes it all the more precious.
Yours in the Spirit of the Sun,
Michael
