All materials that are Realms related have been edited and placed within this text. What started out as a collection of notebooks ranging from volumes 1 through 8, has become the compendium. Volume 1 of the compendium contained only numbers 1-4 of the notebooks. Compendium volume 2 contains all 8 notebooks, edited, and redone into one great resource book. All credits are given to the respected authors or message originators. If no credit is given, then the author information has been lost or was retrieved without any ownership. If anyone is the author of this material, please contact me at [email protected]. In 1994 I was contacted by a TSR Inc. rep. and told to stop distribution of the notebooks. I promptly had all copies removed from sites and newsgroups. Later in 1995, I was told by another TSR Inc. rep that if I placed the material on an official TSR Inc. site, and placed a standard disclaimer at the beginning of the works, I would be able to share the information again with the world. I am not the author of the following works, only the editor. I have taken some liberties with some pieces and made some minor changes where I saw need. I have made the compendium using different fonts that I found worked for the book. This made it easy for someone to print out a few pages and give them directly to their players. When I find time, I will update the compendium on a yearly basis, or until I transfer the job over to some other person. Thanks to all on the Internet who made this possible and filling my campaign with these new and exciting ideas. Thanks to TSR Inc. for finally allowing this information to be distributed in a public access arena. Perry C.
