Publication history
Shannon Appelcline commented that after licensing Joe Dever's Lone Wolf series, Mongoose Publishing initially started production on Lone Wolf: The Roleplaying Game strongly but slowed down after a few years, and that "Despite this slowdown, Mongoose was also trying to expand the property with Matthew Sprange's Lone Wolf Multiplayer Gamebook (2010) — which allowed group roleplaying in the Magnamund setting. Lone Wolf Multiplayer was well-supported with supplements (2010-2012) that detailed the setting of Magnamund for the first time since the brief Magnamund Companion (1986). However, these RPG supplements also largely disappeared in 2012."[1]: 119 Appelcline went on to explain what happened after that: "By the start of 2013, no new Lone Wolf or Lone Wolf Multiplayer books had been published in about a year. Sprange acknowledged that the line had two major problems: it was very expensive to keep the whole series in print; and the gamebooks had very narrow profit margins. Though Mongoose wanted to continue with the series, Dever reclaimed the rights."[1]: 119
