In days of old, life lessons were taught through legends and lore. Stories and songs told of mighty powers of day and night and the dim dusk between them. Please join us as Runic Films endeavors to uphold these traditions of old by utilizing the tools of the new.

"I met Eric about fifteen years ago at our small town comic book shop," says Ben. "He was writing modules for the original Star Wars tabletop RPG from West End Games which totally blew my mind. To connect with him after all these years and compare notes again was a real treat."

Visit The Observatory on MSN for more of Eric's goodness (Zerks even gets a nod!) He let us know that he'll be posting an extended version of this article, which will include a Carlos Pedraza interview, on Eric-Trautmann.com. So stay tuned!
