"Gamer's Gate" is a scifi/fantasy novel that explores an intriguing premise. What if the first and greatest roleplaying game, Blade & Bolt (B&B), was not actually a game, but instead a highly detailed encyclopedia of a real world. "Gamer's Gate" explores what happens when a college student leads his gaming group across a portal between earth and the game world, Thrycion. What happens when a gamer/drug dealer from Earth is given the chance to live the rest of his days as a paladin? What happens when an Evangelical Christian gamer is forced to reconcile the existence of a resurrection spell? What happens when table-top roleplaying geeks across America become highly sought after guides to the "new world", eagerly recruited by the governments and corporations of Earth? "Gamer's Gate" will answer all these questions and more.My new novel is a first in book distribution. "Gamer's Gate" is the first myspace novel. "Gamer's Gate" is being distributed exclusively through the MySpace blog feature (making it completely free to anyone with access to an Internet browser). The reason I am posting this message here is in hopes that EN World members, who are uniquely qualified to comment on the accuracy of the portrayal of table-top roleplaying gamers in fiction, will give me some feedback as the story progresses on if this book accurately portrays participants in their hobby. "Gamer's Gate" is a 16 chapter novel that will be released one chapter per week. "Gamer's Gate" Chapter 01 dropped on 04/29/06 and the final "Gamer's Gate" Chapter 16 will be blogged on 08/12/06.
