What I want to be when I grow up
By Matt Snyder
Three months ago I decided it was high time I grew up. I
have spent many, many hours playing role-playing games, reading
role-playing game books, participating in online discussion
groups like the Forge and RPG.net, talking with my friends
and fellow gamers, and even designing my own games. I'm
passionate about role-playing games, and I decided its time
to give something back to the role-playing community.
This e-zine, Daedalus, is my effort to do just that, to give
something back to the role-playing hobby and hopefully to
do a little growing up in the process.
I have some pretty strong opinions about this hobby, and
especially the industry. Hopefully, I'm also wise enough
not to let that confound what Daedalus can be for you, the
reader.
What is Daedalus? It is an editorial workshop and forum,
a crossroads where designers, writers, and readers can come
to think critically and seriously bout their beloved hobby.
And let's not forget that this hobby is about having
fun. My mission with this publication is to help people have
more fun with their hobby.
So, three months have passed, and here I am on the eve of
the inaugural issue's release. It's been a lot of
work. Fortunately, I had a number of role-playing enthusiasts
who agreed to go along for the ride. And what a ride it's
been. I'm proud of Daedalus, and I hope that Daedalus
shows it.
Welcome to the first issue of Daedalus. Long may we run.
