Journeys Through Magnamund

Why, you might ask, is a special unexpected episode being released out of our normal schedule? Well, over one hundred submissions were received when Holmgard Press put out the call for a short story anthology. Now, anthology editor and curator Shane Walsh-Smith once again joins August and Jonathan on the podcast, to share insight into the anthology process and give teasers about all of the stories that will be present in volume one! Join us as we examine every single story and its accompanying art, and experience the incredible creativity which will soon be available to you. You will get insights into people and places of Magnamund that we never have before and we promise you'll leave this episode excited about this upcoming release.

August and Jonathan are extremely excited to be able to do an episode focused on two major players in the Lone Wolf saga: Kai Lord Autumn Snow and her creator, Martin Charbonneau. Today in this early release episode, learn the story of how what started as fan fiction became Lone Wolf legend and was labeled as canon by Joe Dever himself. Discover the tragic tale of its first publication, a tale that is finally about to end in triumph.

Return to the "World of Lone Wolf series" with our second podcast dedicated to Grey Star's desperate and strange quest! Racing against the minions of Shasarak the Wytch-King and the terror of Desolation Valley, our fledgling would-be-wizard must make his way to the Daziarn and seek out the Moonstone before all is lost! Join Jonathan and August for an in-depth analysis of this exciting book and learn what lies beyond the Mountains of Morn, and whose presence sickens the dread halls of the Forbidden City.

This month, Jonathan and August "captivate" you with stories of the dread fortress of Kaag! Discover the strange intentions of the Nadziranim, learn how they managed to subdue a guildmaster of the Brotherhood, and get details on monsters that you won't find even in the RPG materials! Also learn why this entry in the Lone Wolf series is important to August and why it was so important to Joe, as well.

You will rue the day you enter Ruel! Okay, that was a bad one. But we promise the episode is great. Jonathan and August take the podcast into the Grandmaster series for the first time to explore the history of one of Magnamund's most nefarious organizations, the Cener Druids. Questions about these evil alchemists have long plagued the fanbase but today we're here to cure your curiousity! Learn where the Druids came from, how Cadak rose to power, and find out Joe's personal thoughts on this, the first of the Grandmaster adventures!

The Magnakai Series took Lone Wolf from Sommerlund to the far reaches of Dessi and the Stornlands and even out of this world into the vast unknowable Daziarn and the planes beyond. Now, in preparation for the Grandmaster Series, August and Jonathan take a look back and explore their and listener's favorite illustrations, abilities, and books encountered in the hunt for the Lorestones.

As the future of Lone Wolf looks ever brighter, August and Jonathan look at Lone Wolf's relationship with fan fiction and how fan works have kept the series going strong. If you've been part of the fan group for a long time then this episode will be packed with nostalgia. If not, then be prepared to be introduced to a wide range of products, such as the Mongoose Mega Deal, the Magnamund RPG (not by Cubicle 7), and Tower of the Sun!

Lone Wolf goes on his greatest journey yet — to the realm of the graphic novel. And he's not alone. Long-time ally Banedon is joining them! And Mazrah, Master of Assassins.

Learn about two of Magnamund's lesser-known projects, soon to be brought back in a glorious new edition: Skull of Agarash and Dawn of the Darklords.

We are joined by artist/writer (and long-time fan) Shane Walsh-Smith, who shares some behind-the-scene insight into translating Banedon's adventure to the medium of the graphic novel.

With Lone Wolf having defeated the Masters of Darkness, we give our hero a rest and turn our attention to Southern Magnamund, where a new star is rising. August and Jonathan explore the lore of the Shianti and discuss the themes of Grey Star and how it differs from Lone Wolf. There are secrets in this episode that have never before been revealed, including the truth behind Grey Star's parentage, a truth that will mean we never look at the wizard the same way again!

Criminals spit her name like a curse. Grizzled veterans speak it before a battle to bring them luck. Courtiers are told of secret places they can leave a list of their rivals and, if they are lucky, she will come for their enemies in the night. Old sages whisper that if you would find that which is lost, you need only to seek “The Huntress.”

Join us today on Journeys Through Magnamund as we talk about a brand new series in the Lone Wolf canon, and learn about lore, places, characters, and timelines that have never before been explored!
