I don't know if any of you have been checking the Mongoose boards recently but there's been quite a few posts over the last few days including these:
From Matt Sprange:
1. Books 1-4 are currently being reprinted, and will be in our warehouse around the middle of June. These are being printed using traditional offset methods, hence the time delay, but the quality will be unsurpassed.
2. Book 5 will follow a week after these for, with the two novels, and Book 6 2-3 weeks after that. After this, we will be back on schedule, with one book appearing every 6-8 weeks as promised.
3. We are no longer taking orders for the Mega-Deal, and each new run of books will be limited to just 500 copies, making your Collector's Editions truly exclusive.
4. We are just concluding a deal that means the softback books will be appearing in book stores in both the US and UK, starting in January next year. No solid plans yet for the novels and 'multiplayer gamebook', but things are looking good.

No - absolutely not. It all comes down to the change we made in printing at the start of this year, and the knock on effects from that. As soon as the gamebooks themselves are back on schedule (should be a matter of a month or so), we'll be tackling the novels, and then the RPG will be back on the cards.
The RPG is an important component to the Lone Wolf range for us, especially as we move the softbacks into the main stream book trade, as it will hopefully serve as a springboard to bring new blood into the hobby!
You are a RPG publisher and LW has not an official RPG release (the old one is aborted and eliminated). Why this? Are we (LW fan) less important than, i.e., Conan fan?
