The Wild Wild World
Fifteen years ago, reality folded in half—1850 Earth collided with a D&D fantasy realm, shattering continents into archipelagos where orcish railroad barons, goblin pirates, and samurai oni fight for control. Now dragons wheel over steam-choked cities, elven gunslingers roam frontier boom towns, and beneath the chaos, a hidden cabal schemes to trigger a Second Collision.
