Imagine the fun of going skydiving with your closest friends and your two brothers and landing on some random island. Now imagine that you are captured by the drug-dealing pirates that are slowly taking control of the island, and their leader kills your brother in front of you. You are now left with a choice: join the Rakyat, the warrior tribe that inhabits the island, and become a cold-blooded killer entranced by the insanity that characterizes the island, or die at the hands of your brother 's killer.

It took me to a world I thought could only belong in my head. J.K. Rowling brought words of description to my dreams and brought out the little witch and wizard in many children's lives. I have not been able to find a more descriptive, memorable, imaginative, and well-written books for both children and adults to read and enjoy.

The game really began in earnest when Ethan, Dallin, my sister Joy and I read The Lord of the Rings and Ranger’s Apprentice within the same year.

In our game we became the characters we had left behind in the books and others we invented, that were usually even weirder than the ones from books.
At one point in history, there was the belief that there were witches roaming the streets.
