The first book I ever bought was the encyclapedia magicka. It was like 60 bucks. ( think of your 5 dollar reference X12). I thought of it as an investment. Over the years I collected all 4 of the books and went on to the spell compendiums, wizards and priests. Together one of the single best collection of work DnD has ever come out with. I got years out of those books. I liked the mini stories that came with the items.My first game was with a friend I made at summer. He would stay with his grandma in the summer so I would go over for sleepovers and we would drink pop and game all night. Those were the days!!! My first.Moving to ottawa my books came with me, and I met a new circle of friends. We would have gaming marathons that would run day n nights for weeks on end. I took up GMing then, and at the time had collected every type of dragon I could find.....36  or so...maybe more, and we started an epic dragon campaign, on of my largest dnd campaigns yet. Then 3rd ed came out and well, I broke away from dnd. They changed everything, tried to rewrite every thing.I then broke off on my own, and decided at 11:11 at night I would create my own world. When I say the time, I had just finished drawing the first draft of my world map... 26 years later I am working on my 3rd and 4rth expansion, with dozens of books still as of yet to be written.In some ways I owe Dnd. It helped me make friends, develope my creativity and my visualization....all things I cherish today. But when business became more important to the company, I developed my own. It is my sincere hope that one day my system rivals that of Dnd. While may may scoff, or perhaps not, I can honestly say on its own there will things recognizable, but my system is truly its own entity, an expression of how I see the world in fantasy terms.</blockquote>
