VVVVVV
Chapter ideas I cut or altered to improve flow or because they didn't really add anything to the story:
*Wyverns attacks England during the royal wedding and kidnapped the Prince's wife, and the MCs team up with the Prince to rescue his wife
*Instead of the haunted mansion chapter, it was going to be about kids who were camping. They would tell each other scary stories at a camp fire. A creature would spawn in that has the ability to take the forms of people's fears. Forms the creature would have taken includes the Hook Man, Slenderman, and Bloody Mary. This chapter would be a slasher/creature feature-style chapter that would end with a couple kids be rescued by Tom's team.
Alternate or cut ideas:
*Instead of King Arthur and Umbra, the organization was going to be a consortium of business men who made money off of discoveries made on Xothican creatures and items. The leader was going to be a Chinese business man
*The final fight would have had the leader of Umbra using a modified fiften-foot tall Golem as a sort of magic-tech mech. The Golem would have different runes in it that gave it different abilities.
*It would have been defeated by having its ruins destroyed one by one until the pilot was exposed.
*I went with King Arthur because it tied the two worlds together much better.
*Originally had the idea that Mordiggian and Wendigo would only give 1 exp. Cut due to foreseen balancing issues.
*Original framing job of Thomas by Umbra would have included accusations of assault of various women around the world that would have made people think he was also abusing the Xothicans. I cut this out as it would not make much sense as the UN would have him under such a microscope that it would be a plot hole that they couldn't immediately prove he didn't assault any woman around the world. I made the framing job a lot more subtle.
*In the Occuloraptor chapter, I had the idea that Tom would find an egg and hatch a baby one for himself. Cut it since it was too similar to Jurassic World.
*In the final fight with Mordiggian, I had tossed around the idea of having him grow to the size of a Kaiju when he consumed the obelisk. The fight was going to end with Tom teleporting a MOAB into his mouth and down his throat. Cut since the damage of a MOAB would have been competely ungodly in Manhattan.

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?

Trapped: The GM
[Participating in the NaNoWriMo]"Damn you Josh! How could you mess up this badly? Now I will somehow have to sit out the shitstorm that´s to come..." ~GMThis is the story of a GM and 3012 players who were one day trapped in a virtual reality game. Watch as people in power make bad choices which may or may not lead to the worst possible outcome. ___________________________________There will be some cursing and swearing, a tiny bit of gore perhaps but nothing major. The story also deals with darker emotional things... the psycho and tragedy tags are there for a reason!I had only a months time to write this story and frankly that´s the most creative writing I have ever done in my life. 50k words I can´t believe I did it. Thanks everyone. Without your support I doubt I would have made it.Please support me by pointing out logical errors and the things you didn´t like about the story. As it´s a rushed work I am aware that it has many flaws.
