Thanks for all of the tips and interpretations of the rules. I had
recently raided my parent's storage and found boxes of my old stuff...in
them was book 2-17 of the lone wolf series. I had to give the gamebooks
another go...I'm pretty sure I didn't interpret the rules as you guys have
back when I was a teenager. You guys did a great job with Project Aon.
I'm trying to get my step-son away from WarFrame and MineCraft and give the
gamebooks a try.
