Question: I need help finding an old fantasy book that I don’t know the author or title of, I just remember the story!.!?
The book was about these people that are playing D&D and are somehow transported to a different world where they are in the bodies of their characters!. They were sent there by a powerful magician that was forced to live in our world!. They lose one of their friends right away because he is killed trying to steal something!. There are three books to the series I think and the first one finds them in the other world trying to survive, and the second one they make gunpowder and there was something about a dragon!. If anyone knows the author or title of this series or even a single book it would mean a lot to me!. I have been looking for it eight years!. Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Guardians of the Flame series by Joel Rosenberg
(Book 1 - The Sleeping Dragon)
"It started out as just another night playing Dungeons and Dragons!. James, Karl, Andrea, and the others had each picked the character he or she wanted to play, and they embarked on a new campaign!. As the gamemaster started them on their new journey, they suddenly find themselves transported to the place the gamemaster was describing to them!. They also find themselves in the bodies of their characters, with all of their characters abilities and flaws!. In order to find the way back, they must make their way through this strange world on a quest to find the legendary Gate Between the Worlds!. Armed with their wits and the few provisions that the gamemaster left them, they start on an dangerous adventure!."
