Well, while it's sad that one of the things that has kept me coming to ENworld regularly over the past few years is done, it was a fantastic story and adventure. Thank you again for writing it up. And yes, I will likely also buy a novelization - because it will be both familiar and new. I also expect Blue Manchu Publishing to become a powerhouse of fantasy novelizations for the future, so get on that. chuckle.
One question from GM to GM, did you start out the campaign knowing that there would be a deep and epic underlying story for what you were doing (even if you didn't know the details or even an outline at the time), or did that grow out of seeing the first few sessions and seeing how your players were interacting with your world?
