My interest in D&D is now only in passing, but at one time, it was intense. Playing the game with friends long into the night was tremendous fun, but in the end, the cost was too high.
D&D is a game for people who have time to play, and I had no business playing as much as I did.
These stories are set in the world of D&D, but the characters are all mine. I rolled up their stats and I ran them in campaigns. The stories themselves, however, are not campaigns, they are my own creations.
I have about a dozen story ideas from the world of D&D, but I will probably never get around to writing them.
D&D belongs to a part of my life that has now passed, and I have little interest in taking it up again, certainly not to the extent I once did.
"Paths and Choices" is a true D&D story. The other story is something I just can't explain here.

| Notes: |
Spiridale is my favorite D&D character. His name is derived from the word spirit. I'm quite proud of "Paths and Choices," although I think it's obvious while reading it that I was younger
when I wrote it. I cannot write medieval-style speech to save my life. Some of the things the characters say sound awfully modern, but I don't have the time to go correct everything. I still like this one.
