Preface
Creativity has always been the compass
by which I navigate my life, a boundless resource
�1.,"-
that has never failed me. From the simple joys of
�· t::'.
i •• J drawing custom artwork for my peers in
elementary school to the complex worlds crafted
in my short stories and digital art, creating has
always been synonymous with happiness for me.
This innate drive, combined with a lifelong
adoration of video games and fantasy, has
naturally culminated in the creation of my own
campaign sourcebook for Dungeons & Dragons.
My fascination with the D&D universe is
deep-rooted and multifaceted, spanning the
arcane lore to the boundless possibilities of
roleplaying. It wasn't until my late 30s, however,
that I truly embarked on the journey of playing
and understanding the game that had long
intrigued me. This exploration has been a
revelation, marrying my love for storytelling with
the mechanics of gameplay in ways I had only
dreamed of.

Growing up, I often mused about the
thrill of experiencing a video game set in my
hometown. Would it be a gritty RTS, echoing the
strategic depths of Command & Conquer, or
perhaps an open-world adventure akin to Grand
Theft Auto? Or maybe, I speculated, it would take
the form of an intricate RPG, complete with stat
blocks and inventory management. As it turns
out, the RPG format was a perfect match, and the
setting couldn't be more fitting.
Choosing the largely uncharted continent
of Anchorome within the Forgotten Realms was
an inspired decision. With Toril mirroring an
alternate Earth, Anchorome represents our North
America, providing a rich and familiar backdrop
for the fantastical. The Tisdale region, nestled
within this vast continent, is the fruit of my labor
—a labor born of love, nostalgia, and an
unquenchable thirst for creativity.
In crafting the Tisdale region, I have
poured into it not just my skills and imagination,
but my heart. It's a reflection of my journey, a
blend of the worlds I've loved and the experiences
that have shaped me. As you delve into this
sourcebook, my greatest hope is that you find not
only enjoyment in exploration and gameplay but
also a spark of inspiration to create your own
worlds and adventures.
May the Tisdale region be a canvas for
your imagination, a space where the boundaries
of reality blur with the boundless potential of
fantasy. I invite you to explore, to play, and most
importantly, to dream. Thank you for embarking
on this journey with me. Enjoy every moment of
discovery and adventure that awaits.
