Foreword
It has been my great pleasure, and indeed honor, to know Mick Geronimo for some time now. Over the years he has revealed himself to be a man of many and wide-ranging talents – from expert Googling to musical instrument sculpture, it seems there is nothing to which he cannot successfully turn his hand. The piece you are about to read, one I know he has spent considerable time honing and refining, is Mr. Geronimo’s first foray into the field of dramatic literature, and when you have read the final word and closed the cover at last I feel certain that you will have no choice but to agree with me that this literary debut is nothing short of a triumph.
I think I can safely say, without revealing details that are best left to the reader to discover, that the secret of Mr. Geronimo’s brilliance lies in the concision of his prose. In his first outing he has mastered something that has eluded many more seasoned authors working in the crowded genre of RPG Narrative today – brevity. The ability to say everything by saying almost nothing, to capture a universe in a grain of sand… this is the hallmark of genius. I think I do not overstate the case when I say that what you are about to experience may well be a watershed event in the history of this genre, if not of all literature.
And so, without further preamble, Mick Geronimo’s unique take on “Meanwhile, back at the tower…”

Afterword
Now the last word is read, the cover closed for the final time (although we both know we will return to this story again and again over the years to come), and you sit back to contemplate the experience you’ve just had. How profoundly has this work changed you? Are you still the person you were before you read that first word? Can you be?
This is what a paradigm shift looks like…
