An infinite universe yields infinite possibilities, and not all realities are as laborious as the one we find ourselves trapped. In another set of dimensions, a world analogous to our own grinds the wheel of monotonous life, but to a different beat. In this parallel land, elves, dwarves, goblins, and halflings live just like you do, in mind-numbing tedium, desperate to make it though the working week and blow their wages on drugs, fags, and booze.

Produktbeschreibung
An infinite universe yields infinite possibilities, and not all realities are as laborious as the one we find ourselves trapped. In another set of dimensions, a world analogous to our own grinds the wheel of monotonous life, but to a different beat. In this parallel land, elves, dwarves, goblins, and halflings live just like you do, in mind-numbing tedium, desperate to make it though the working week and blow their wages on drugs, fags, and booze. Just like you. Just…like… you… Once upon a time, magic thrived in this wondrous world, a land of witches, warlocks, and wizards. Magic, in harmony with Mother Nature, powered the land, but magic has fallen out of fashion, shunned in favour of WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and instantly downloadable hardcore German megaporn in ultra-high definition. But technology comes at a price. With the inexorable march of progress, the world reaches breaking point. The icecaps melt, the forests disappear, and reality TV dominates. The end of the world is near and a hero is needed… Dan Smith, a nerd of the highest order, isn't convinced he's the Chosen One, nor is anyone else except one man, the mighty Gambledolf. The ancient wizard assembles a merry bunch of adventurers: an elf from the trees, a dwarf from the hills, and a centaur from a field to accompany Dan on a mighty quest. They adventure to the North to retrieve the Last Sword of the Fairy King, a catalyst of magic that can reverse global warming and save the world. All that stands in their way are the forces of evil, for there's likely a dark lord involved. There usually is.
