While yes, my name and contributions to the game are part of the work, I think it's more important to acknowledge that these writers have worked diligently and well to create works that deserve recognition in their own right. Becker's discussion of Dungeons and Dragons as a calling, Maddox's encouragement of a coherent order through the understanding of taxonomy, Joslyn's breakdown of the computer as a driving force behind the future game and Osterman's sociological breakdown of game advice found on youtube are well worth the read... I feel overwhelmed at the prospect of examining their work here, as I don't believe that I can do it the justice that it deserves.
I give it my full endorsement; if my work is worth reading, then so too is the work that these designers and writers have done. Trust the effort, trust the value it offers; it is a small but meaningful tome that is worth reading more than once.
Thank you for your praise, Alexis.
