Nightfall
Sage of the Scarred Lands
Due to a comment made by an anonymous individual, I think it's time I addressed you all here in this forum about me, S&SS and my online persona.
Firstly, and let me clearly say this, I love, respect and value Monte Cook. He is everything a gamer designer should be, erudite, polite, firm and yet fun to be around. Without Monte Cook there wouldn't be a 3rd edition nor even a d20 system. Period. Thus I say props to Monte.
Secondly and more importantly, I love S&SS. More than that, though, I love S&SS and it's affiliates. This includes Malhavoc Press who I feel represents the best in High Magic, High roleplay and adventure. Having guys like Bruce Cordell and Sean K Reynolds only adds to such like. I personally own and enjoy the Books of Eldritch Might (all three, first one in print the other two in PDF), Requiem for a God, Book of Hallowed Might AND while not a Malhavoc Press book, Book of Vile Darkness. These are all FINE books and represent alot of what I love in both d20 and 3rd edition. So while I willing to admit, I love the Scarred Lands, the affiliates of S&SS I love and enjoy a lot of stuff from too.
Third and probably even more important than second point, I am not in the position to dictate S&SS policy, affect any kind of change or even have an influence over S&SS figures/developers/publishers. I don't have that kind of pull folks. I merely am friends with one of the S&SS developers and I know one or two S&SS Affiliate developers/publishers. (Even then not well.) I do not have the power to make things happen. I just report what I know, just like any good fan would. I am a fan that's all. While I am a seemingly powerful online authority, in real life I can't even get from one place to another without help. I am just another mere mortal that has a computer and really no social life. So when I say "I'll see what I can do." What mean is "I can't do anything folks."
So I thank all my friends here, but again I don't want to decieve anyone about my abilities here, nor about myself. While I have this "Sage" persona, I am still just a 26 year old male from West Virginia with little job prospects at the moment and also a d20/3rd edition fan. Thank you.
