Kind of crazy, but my biggest, most audacious wish is to create a book on my life’s greatest passion; the pursuit of role-playing, about the design and production of role-playing games, and the pursuit of excellence in the practice of role-playing and Game Mastering. If all goes well, the result will be a thick volume titled, “On Role-Playing.”

Success, if I can achieve it, requires that I make a wish, and a pretty big wish. A wish that can only be granted by many of you reading this blog.

You see, a huge portion of the book will be the description of many of the experiments I’ve conducted in role-playing. Far from finished or completed role-playing games, or even completed role-playing systems, my experiments have been just that; wacky experiments. The gathering of friends, or strangers, and the playing through of my of my little ‘notions’ of one odd role-playing scenario or another, often in direct violation with the accepted wisdom of what constitutes role-playing, or at very least interesting twists on the role-playing possibility space.

Those who have participated are the ones I need to find because the biggest thing I need is their participation in the creation of the book. Bottom line, if you’ve ever participated in one of my experimental gaming events, I’m soliciting your help.

What kind of help?

I need player-level descriptions of the characters, events, backgrounds and experiences from my various role-playing experiments. They can take the form of character diaries or logs, of player recollections or reflections, or plain old essays on what happened in the course of a bunch of people getting together to role-play one of my strange ideas.

The first step is getting in touch. So, if you are someone who has played in one (or more!) of my experiments, or if you know of someone who has played, please e-mail me and get in touch. The more people I can contact, and the more background notes, recollections and memories I can collect, the closer I’ll be to fulfilling my fondest wish.

Thanks!
