    About this ebook

    I began playing and game-mastering AD&D (Advanced Dungeons and Dragons) in 1978.

    By 1984 I had a fair collection of new material and came up with the idea of creating my own fanzine.

    Pulling together issue 1 took a fair amount of effort, and cost. I had 250 issues printed locally and then managed to persuade a few game stores to sell a few copies for me. In the end I sold around 200 copies – mainly thanks to a good review in Imagine magazine (issue 24 if memory serves me well) – at a small overall loss.

    The first issue was in A4 format and had 40 pages.

    In 1985 I managed to publish issue 2 (which will also be available for download shortly).

    Marcus D Barnes

    Fantasy, and to a lesser extent Science-Fiction, have inspired me from an early age. From the late seventies to the late nineties I became heavily involved in Fantasy Role Playing and created and ran several extensive, gripping and enjoyable campaigns - some of this can be seen reflected in my novels. Me? I am a mature male, born and raised in the south of England before migrating to New Zealand in 2001. In 2020, I returned to England, after 18 years in New Zealand and Australia. My wife and sons provide a lot of inspiration and support. I write when I have time and when the inspiration takes me. I have many unfinished works, which I hope to make available in time.
