== Praemal == While working at Wizards of the Coast, Chris was a player in Monte Cook's Praemal campaign. This campaign was a testing ground for what would become the 3rd edition rules of Dungeons & Dragons. Chris wrote a bit about this campaign on numerous occasions. "A few months after I joined Wizards of the Coast, Monte Cook told me about a new D&D campaign designed to test some experimental rules. He offered me a seat at his game table, and once a week for three years we explored the world of Praemal (the lesser-known precursor to Monte's more famous Ptolus campaign) and playtested rules that would gradually evolve into what is currently referred to as '3rd Edition.'<ref>[http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/make-it-big]</ref> "For the past two years, I've played a fighter in the world of Praemal, Monte Cook's ongoing AD&D campaign. The world is ambitious and peculiar, much as you'd expect from someone who's spent the last several years invoking the wacky, other-worldly idiosyncrasies of the Planescape setting." "In Praemal, all great heroes have destinies, all major villains have world-spanning ambitions, and all important features of the land have a surreal majesty. A door is seldom a door, a forest is never what it seems, and the laws of physics are routinely trampled." "Week after week, Monte reminds me that weird can work - and that fun sometimes means breaking the rules." "The Praemal campaign ended spectacularly with the PCs crashing a moon into a planet. It sounds absurd, I know, but really it seemed like a good idea at the time." "The Praemal and Ptolus campaigns are distant memories. I don't remember the names of all the player characters or all of the villains we faced, just the really weird stuff and the really big stuff . . . like the time my elf rogue/wizard/fighter banished his dark elf nemesis to the sun's core. That doesn't happen every day." <ref>[[Dungeon Magazine #75]]</ref> It is believed that Chris Perkins had 3 characters over the course of the campaign: * '''Laurus''': "A human raised by dwarves who was killed by an evil duplicate of himself" * '''Ves''': Lizard man fighter who left the group to reunite with his tribe * '''Aurum Ironshard''': Dwarf barbarian
