To those who labor for naught save the pleasure of tale and
song�Greeting:

For it was many of your years ago that you came to dwell among us,
after a fashion, and defended the civilized peoples of Aerryth
against the servants of the Tython Charis, and through your efforts
he was chained once more and cast into the Outer Dark.  Yet the
defeat of Charis was not the greatest gift your grace bestowed upon
our little world: Rather, your very presence, your tales and songs,
your laughter and anger and all the thought you bent upon the deeds
of our sphere�each of these things served in its fashion to breathe a
little more life into our world.  The tales you told yourselves in
idleness, for no other purpose than your own amusement--these tales
served to make us real, for ever as you bend your thoughts to tell
your tales of faraway, so do you share the sparks of reality that lie
in the beating of your hearts; and so you make real these realms of
fantasy.

I, who am named Echo in your tongue, pray that you may heed our
plight.  Those of your kindred who once brought life to our lovely
world have perished seemingly, or have turned their thought and will
to other matters.  We fade; we live no more; the thought and laughter
that bound our sphere together and brought us definition now are gone.
 The tapestry that is our world unravels, and soon Aerryth will be no
more.

And so I ask that you will deign once more to enter Aerryth, and so
breathe life anew into our sphere.  If you would know more of our
world, and would fashion for yourself a guise in which to seek
adventure therein, then I beg you contact the scribe who shares these
words with you.  He has agreed to lend me his help, and will give his
aid that you may weave new tales�so shall Aerryth live once more, for
a day, or year, or many lives of our people.  I give you my thanks.

�Echo� is a bit long-winded, as you see. I plan to set up his �new
tale� in 3rd Edition GURPS, using only the Basic Set, GURPS Magic,
and Compendium I.  So far as I can tell, the world of Aerryth is a
fantasy/medieval setting.  I�m guessing that the adventures will be
cinematic, but have yet to settle a definite point limit.  If you�re
interested, please respond�my email is myoung4771@yahoo.com.

(Note--Don't worry if you're not into GURPS--I'll be happy to guide
you along, translate your character ideas into GURPS mechanics, etc.
I tend to focus more on the story than the mechanics, which after all
exist just to hold the story up!)

Thanks�
Furabo/Martin (and Echo)
