I have a young customer who is looking for a fantasy that she read about 5 years ago. She is pretty sure that it was not new at the time. It begins in a modern, contemporary setting with friends who are meeting their gamemaster for a game of D&D. One of the characters was a girl named Cathy, a jock, a geek, someone in a wheelchair, etc. On this particular game day the gamemaster transports them to a fantasy world where they have various adventures; one person dies right away, the person in the wheelchair is 'healed,' and one of the players turns in to a dwarf.The main goal of the group is to create a portal between the two worlds and create a way for the gamemaster to get to the fantasy world. While the gamemaster has been the source of much 'cross-cultural pollination,' for example, sending the Vikings to Polynesia, he has never been able to get to the fantasy world himself. Does anyone recognize this? I am clueless and not being much of a fantasy reader for a very long time, I am not getting anywhere...
In dire need...
