Located an excellent book on fantasy-role-playing games:
Through Dungeons Deep; A Fantasy Gamers' Handbook
Author:Robert Plamondon
Publisher: Reston Publishing Co. Reston, Va.
Hardcover, $18.95
Synopsis: A great book for the beginning *or* experienced frp gamer.
Plamondon presents a general treatment of frp, rather than concentrating
on any specific games. The cover is interesting, the text is readable,
and for the background on *why* the french painter is talking to the
dragon, you'll have to read page 75. All in all--an excellent book,
especially for beginning gamers. Makes a good birthday present for
little brothers (personal experience). Direct comments/other suggestions
to hplabs!hp-pcd!orstcs!forbes....flames (??) to /dev/null.
