Guest Author's Note: "So this is an idea I've had for a while and finally decided to sit down and make a reality — the campaign I'm currently running, re-imagined as a campaign Twilight runs for the rest of the group. Considering how my original campaign came about as a result of researching the Mongol Empire and Yuan dynasty China for an unrelated writing project, I can totally see Twilight getting a similar idea after a long wiki-binge or something, and let's just say that she's in for a wild ride…"

Twilight: Thanks for letting me run a campaign for you guys, I'm really glad you were willing to give me another shot at GMing.
Twilight: Especially considering what happened before…

Twilight: Yeah, I know that the last time I ran a campaign was… rough.
