The Dungeons of Torgar
Encyclopedia
The Dungeons of Torgar is the tenth book in the Lone Wolf
book series created by Joe Dever
. These later books are illustrated by Brian Williams

This book features an early decision/path where the book essentially splits down two different storylines for a good portion of the adventure, increasing replayability (i.e. by allowing the reader to play the book over again and take the alternate path). By this point in the adventure, a wise player may have gained enough Magnakai disciplines to have completed a Lore Circle or two, and may enjoy increased Combat Skill and Endurance because of it.

Gameplay
Lone Wolf books rely on a combination of thought and luck. Certain statistics such as combat skill and endurance attributes are determined randomly before play (reading). The player is then allowed to choose which Magnakai disciplines or skills he or she possess. This number depends directly on how many books in the series have been completed ("Magnakai rank"). With each additional book completed, the player chooses one additional Magnakai discipline.This book features an early decision/path where the book essentially splits down two different storylines for a good portion of the adventure, increasing replayability (i.e. by allowing the reader to play the book over again and take the alternate path).
