Contributors for Project Aon Editions

This project would have been impossible without the helpful contributions of:

David Davis – allowing scanned copies to be made of his near-complete collection of Lone
Wolf Club Newsletters.

Jonathan Blake – providing better quality scans of artwork taken from the books.

Simon Osborne – creator and maintainer of this document.

Internet Edition published by Project Aon. This edition is intended to reflect the complete text of
the original version. Changes made, such as to correct incorrect or inconsistent spelling,
punctuation and grammar have not been noted.

Distribution of this Internet Edition is restricted under the terms of the Project Aon License.

Effort has been made to display the information as close to the originals as possible. Although this
has not been possible for all things—for example, the actual fonts used—the result is as close to the
originals as they could be.

Scans of the original newsletters have been edited so that many faded illustrations have been
coloured consistently black. In some instances, this has resulted in a higher quality output than
found in the originals.

Disciplines were not much help in the early part of the

special weapons in mind (Sommerswerd & Dagger of

The lost ENDURANCE that Nexus would have saved in
previous adventures was negligible.

last, and gaining a much-needed defence against the intensely
psychic supernatural terrors in abundance. Those 3 extra CS
