My name is Roger Darkesworde...

... and I’m a PC in a Dungeons and Dragons game. I wasn’t always; for most of my life I was a free man. Now I don't know how much longer I'll live with this madman controlling me. I'm assembling my journal entries so there's some record of my life and death. If anyone finds this please get it back to my parents in Farmington.

Mom, Dad, I’m sorry I never came back.

Day 1: Morning

It’s an autumn day and almost feels like spring. The stink of the city is easier to bear when the sun is out. I still don’t feel at home, but at least I won’t have to be here much longer.

It seems like the call for adventurers draws a lot of people. I wouldn’t have thought so, but they’re all around me. My place in the stable was quiet the first night. Now it's more crowded than the barracks ever were. I guess city life isn't for me.

Luckily I finally have something to do. I'm starting this journal so I have something to pass the time while I’m in line later. I’ve never been a talented poet--most of the writing I’ve done was reports and commands in the army. But I’ll try to keep everything clear and maybe someday I can pass this on to my kids.

I’ll write more later.
