The Djinn Crisis

Edited recaps from a actual-play D&D campaign. This campaign follows several groups who exist concurrently in the same world, and whose actions are seen by each other.

Listen to my players as they attempt to stymie forces both within and far beyond their control or comprehension. Will they save the world, or damn it? Will they be able to work together, or find each other's company untenable? Most worriesome of all, does this overarching story plagiarize almost every great fantasy fiction ever to have been written?
