Stephen Wendell of the Donjonlands blog (as well as the player of Aíthfo hiZnáyu in my House of Worms Empire of the Petal Throne campaign for nearly eight years now) has written a memoir of his early experiences in the hobby, entitled Blue Flame, Tiny Stars.
As you might guess from its cover, those early experiences were formed, as they were for a lot of us, by playing the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set whose rulebook was edited by the late J. Eric Holmes. This fact alone likely explains my enjoyment of Stephen's memoir. Of course, it doesn't hurt that his recollections are both engaging and often insightful, as any good memoir should be.
Blue Flame, Tiny Stars is now available in multiple formats through DriveThruRPG.
"Most Superlative," forsooth.
