Greetings and Salutations: Yes, while most people come to a point in their lives when they put away childish things (depending on your viewpoint) I embrace them even more. Bring on the RPG's, comics, Monster Magazines, Action Figures, horror, fantasy and Science Fiction novels, and those incredible horror and Sci-fi movies. I welcome all of it into my life. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I still like to hang out in creeks and wilderness areas to learn more about Mother Nature's bountiful treasures. And, yes, I do go to the Stock Car Races a few times a year. "It don't get no better'n that folks."
Anyway, I am a Dungeonmaster on Thursday nights who leads a band of unsuspecting adventurers into the perils of a land I call Lewswyrld. It is a land where magic and monsters abound, a land with three moons called "The Three Sisters." Why? Because it's loads of fun, very relaxing, and it gives my fertile imagination a chance to create plots and scenarios for others to enjoy. My story lines all come from my own grey matter, very rarely do I use a module (though I have on rare occasions).
Why am I telling you all this. The fine folks who publish Dungeons and Dragons have revamped the system. Available this month are the revamped versions of the three core books; The Dungeon Master's Guide, The Players Handbook, and The Monster Manual. This new edition has been dubbed version 3.5. Why not 4th edition. Maybe because third edition is only a couple years old itself.
Previous editions lasted for a much longer time with each going eleven years. The current edition is a scant three years old.
With 3.5 just now hitting the stores, it is a perfect time to jump on the bandwagon and immerse yourself in the fantastic world of RPG's.
Anyway, I've run out of time and the castle denizens demand that I spend more time with them so I hope everyone has a great week. C-Ya!!!
Things are really going nuts here in the castle. There's so much to do and so much to write about that I don't even know where to start. We're working on a new movie (our second one), editing the first movie, working on two new scripts, working two jobs, and writing for this wonderful piece of pop culture called the PCR. I sometimes wonder how I can possibly keep up at this frenzied pace. I do it by relaxing on Thursday nights, lost in a game of Dungeons and Dragons (plus putting in about an hour a day for reading).
