Let me tell you a tale, weary traveler, of the three greatest moments I have experienced. The third greatest moment of my life was when I asked Mary if she would be my wife and she threw her arms around me and said yes. The second was when she brought Ernie into the world and I saw him for the first time. And the first and greatest moment that I have ever experienced was when I had the opportunity to read Wildjammer.
Not only is this the greatest piece of fantasy roleplaying writing I have ever seen, I dare go so far as to say this may be the greatest piece of literature ever created by mankind. When tens of thousands of years ago our hunter-gatherer ancestors first drew mastodons on cave walls, when Socrates's students wrote his Symposium, when Thomas Paine wrote the Rights of Man and when Leo Tolstoy wrote War and Peace, all of that was leading up to this singular moment, the true height of literary excellence.
Have you ever seen Bill and Tedd's Excellent Adventure, where the titular Bill and Ted find out that their music unites all life in the cosmos, past present and future? That movie was a documentary based on what would happen after Wildjammer was written, but they didn't want to include the name Wildjammer in the movie so they renamed their band as Wildstallions. And yes before you ask, the creator of this Ultimate Masterpiece does look like Keanu Reeves and is somehow twice as nice.
