In MMORPGs past and present, Adam "Ferrel" Trzonkowski has taken the reins of leadership and driven his guild through all styles of raiding from hardcore and "server first" to casual yet "current tier."
For over fifteen years Ferrel has claimed repeated victories in these endeavors and after coupling these successes with writing articles for his blog at EpicSlant.com, he dedicated his time to writing and publishing.
In his first book, "The Guild Leader's Companion," Ferrel shared his experiences as a successful leader with others. It is a guide to aspiring leaders and an aid to those already established in the role, covering topics ranging from handling yourself to handling others. Most importantly, he strove not to tell other players what to do, but to instead give them a different perspective on what they already know, to challenge preconceived notions, and to teach something new along the way.
Through his blog, books, attending conventions, and other venues, Ferrel continues to be an active member of the MMORPG community and works toward his goal of bringing more positivity to guild leadership, raiding, and online gaming in general.
