On the Table - In-game stories from The Emergent Campaign
The Emergent Campaign novels follow a group of players and the fantasy game that they play, run by an overly enthusiastic game master who weaves their real world emotions and concerns into the game. On The Table episodes deal exclusively in that fantasy world, providing additional background and depth to the adventures, while not featuring the player characters from the books. Episodes follow no set chronology. So, enjoy them in any order.
