Comments on: They’re Reprinting Lone Wolf! http://www.d20source.com/2007/09/theyre-reprinting-lone-wolf A must-read Dungeons & Dragons blog for dungeon masters, D&D players and game designers.

My adventure didn't have a lot to do with the books (other than four brothers of various skill and ability trying to take over the world), so there's nothing really to worry about there. I just feel kind of silly using old names I never expected to pop up again because I was too lazy to come up with my own (and there are some pretty cool names too!) only to, you guessed it, have them pop up again. So now I have a dilemma, do I just come clean and let them know I just yoinked the names from a bunch of my favorite books as a kid, not mention it at all hoping that they never run across them, or just pretend like I didn't even know those books existed if they do come across them. (Shasarak huh? And Shadakai? Yeah, never heard of them before...) I'm such a tool. :) You see, this is great news except for the fact that an adventure I ran with my group a few years ago blatantly ripped off a ton of the names from this series of books.
