Style: 3rd person narrative prose, with occasional winks to the underlying mechanics. There is a good amount of humor mixed with serious fantasy, horror, etc.
Overview: Much of the campaign world's focus is Law vs. Chaos, instead of the more typical Good vs. Evil. The various threads trace the evolution of the campaign since its inception (about 1994?), including many of the tales of both heroes and villains.

Reader Comment: "This is one of the better storyhours I've read. You have a very natural flow in your writing, it's easy and enjoyable to read and it also has a relatively original and entertaining flavour. I've never come across the concept of extradimentional colons and orca penis rings before." - Serpenteye
