Photo of printed text: "Gary Gygax, the inventor of Dungeons & Dragons, imagines a computer dungeon in which the rooms and corridors appear on your home TV screen. As you move down the passages, you see them loom up before you and as you open the door you see it swing open and the monster jump out onto your screen. All this, of course, is still in somebody's imagination. Computer games have plenty of new worlds to conquer."

As for “Write what you know,” I was regularly told this as a beginner. I think it’s a very good rule and have always obeyed it. I write about imaginary countries, alien societies on other planets, dragons, wizards, the Napa Valley in 22002. I know these things. I know them better than anybody else possibly could, so it’s my duty to testify about them. I got my knowledge of them, as I got whatever knowledge I have of the hearts and minds of human beings, through imagination working on observation. Like any other novelist. All this rule needs is a good definition of “know.”

Richard Burton as Dr. Dysart at the end of Equus. The top part of his face is shown in extreme closeup, lit starkly from one side so all we can see is one eye, part of his nose, and the deep shadow across the other side of his face. He stares directly into the camera, haunted by the realisations of his closing monologue: that as a psychiatrist he can destroy passion but not create it; that he, like his patient Alan, now "stands in the dark with a blade in his hand, striking at heads".
