"Live always in the best company when you read."
Edwin Voskamp's Recommended Authors
This section lists authors whom I unreservedly recommend. I like all their books and buy every new book they put out. This list seems to be ever shrinking, since a single book I do not like is enough to drop the author from this list, although I make an exception for posthumously released books, hence the inclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien. They are listed in alphabetical order.
If you have any suggestions regarding the contents or organization of these pages, please let me know.

I attended a bullwhip handling seminar given by Gery L. Deer in Ann Arbor, organised by a friend of mine who had seen Gery perform at a local Science Fiction convention. Since I have practiced diligently and acquired two more whips: it is boatloads of fun!
I have been running my new game settings, based on my serial campaign concept,
as well as have complete websites: ShadowWorld Mainline, ShadowWorld WWII and Grand Design.
I am working on a new current day ShadowWorld setting, with a new, entirely different cosmology.

Underworld, though laying claim to prior use,
was renamed to ShadowWorld in the summer of 2002,
to avoid confusion with earlier published role playing games with same or similar names.
It was moved to its own website.
