Reflections On A Revolutionary Game
Once upon a time, long, long ago ...
I love the sense of wonder and "let's pretend" this phrase evokes. It was typed by a master story-teller named Gary Gygax, who was in turn inspired by the genius of Dave Arneson. It recreates childhood play sessions of knights fighting dragons, cowboys exploring the Old West, and Superman flying in to save the day. It was the perfect introduction.
Fight on!
This tells us the story doesn't end here! Maybe a hero fell, perhaps this is the end and another will step forward to take his place. Or maybe, just maybe this is not the end for that hero but merely a setback. It's fantasy, anything can happen.
