History
Spellbinder games grew out of Spellbinder Books, a publisher which produced a trilogy of fantasy fiction novels in the 1980s: The Persnackety Dragon, The Dimadon Lantern, and My Magical Maguffin, as well as a coloring book called Fantasmagoria. All are now out of print, and all records of the books appear to have been lost to Hurricane Katrina in 2005[1].
