If you would like to come play with us in the world of Dragon Crest, we invite you to do so! You can visit www.dragoncrest.com and create your own character, and there you will find tabletop, online, and live opportunities to participate in the world and influence the continuing events you've just been reading about. Who knows? You may find yourself in the pages of a Dragon Crest book one of these days.

You may also chat directly with your favorite book characters on the Dragon Crest chat forums, and appearance schedules are posted for major characters at both gaming conventions and Dragon Crest live events. If you would like to give your greetings to Gawaine, help Will slay a monster, or have Raina heal you afterward, that's entirely possible.

Until then, safe travels to you, brave adventurer....
