It’s one of the most ambitious projects I have ever worked on in my life. If you went to AFO 12 and participated in”Conquerors of Neo-Orlandia” or want to see how a major event is made for success, this will be a good read for you. Also includes the original pitch, rough drafts of several scripts, and all the final scripts including endings for factions that did not win!
