From the Creator

It is my belief that fantasy gaming owes a debt of creativity to the culture represented by New Orleans. With this project, I hope that gaming can repay that debt in some small way. Talented people from the gaming industry and related fields have come together to produce a tribute to the region that will be available in a PDF or print-on-demand format. All proceeds from sales will go to disaster relief.
