I
am a rather useless GM for keeping proper notes, so creating a cohesive list
of the group's adventures has been troublesome at best. So after much debate
with the group I've divided the story into several chapters as listed below.
Click on the name of the chapter for a more detailed account of what happened,
and check out the journals for what the characters think happened! Finally,
click on the GM's notes button to find out the origin of the adventure and what
was really going on, as well as detail on any published adventures that got
used.
