About
THE POOR PLAYER’S CREED
I HAVE SEEN THE AGE OF THE SOUND AND THE FURY:
THE TRUTH IS MY CHARGE AND MY BURDEN;
MY CHOSEN VEHICLE THE STAGE.
WITH UNFLINCHING HONESTY,
UNBOUND BY CODE OR CONVENTION;
FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE CRAFT,
AND THE BEAUTY OF THAT WHICH CANNOT LAST,
WE BRING ABOUT THE RENAISSANCE.

“It is the greatest gift of my people, that we can bring our dreams to life for other eyes. Fantasy is a tool; like any tool, it may be used poorly or well. At its best, Fantasy reveals truths that cannot be shown any other way.”
-Matthew Woodring Stover, “The Blade of Tyshalle”
