    Six D&D characters with typically dysfunctional PC group dynamics battle a series of obstacles and their own neuroses in an attempt to stop an affably evil lich sorceror and a well-intentioned extremist goblin cleric from seizing control of a magical gate, which they all believe to contain an ageless god-killing eldritch abomination.

    There are magical rifts in the universe which Team Evil, led by an undead superevilpowerful sorcerer, wants to control for nefarious purposes, Team Good wants to prevent that by killing him.

    Conflicts between who one is and what one is among various characters and their acceptance of their place in the world in both of these regards escalate to threaten the world.
    I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

    I'm not joking one bit. I would buy the hell out of that.

    Kraakakoom happens, Elan is awesome and hilarious and Roy is jealous of his innocence and whimsical demeanor cause he's a big meaniehead.

    Elan, give me back my phone and get back to your webcomic.

    Our brave heroes (and Belkar) beat up an evil lich and blow up his dungeon only to discover much later that he's actually trying to use rips in the fabric of reality to...drumroll...TAKE OVER THE WORLD (or blow it up, in a pinch), at which point he comes back with an army, kicks their asses and takes over the one country trying to stop him -- separating the party just long enough for one of them to commit sneaky magical genocide – so now now everybody's trying to get to the next tear, which is located in a war-torn desert kingdom where you can't swing a dead cat without hitting somebody's long-lost relative.

    Yep, that pretty much covers the "run-on" part at least.

    Maybe a better one would be:

    Where half the characters have daddy issues that all end up being plot important in one way or another.

    Six misfits battle their incompetence in a world full of adversaries in order to brighten the day.
    There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

    A group of apparently archetypal PCs stumble onto a nefarious plan (to take over the worldtm) and is forced to step up to the challenge and grow, despite (or because of) the many adversities in their path.

    EDIT: changed generic to archetypal, sounds better and fits better too I think

    Of couse, when Elan stated the need for 'forgetting' Banjo he's just made sure people will talk for him forever... if only to avert the dread rising of the eldritch puppet. Comical incompetence or subtle brilliance, so hard to tell with Elan.
