It has ever been my assumption given the number and nature of the authors and how the story proceeds that “The Mongoliad” was actually a collaborative write-up of a very interesting quasi history based RPG that all of you played together. Forgive me if this has actually been verified somewhere or something but as someone who started playing D&D in the Red Box Basic edition era it sure FEELS to me like that is what happened. Your comment above makes me think it even more.
Edit: hmmmm… now that I just read parts of the AMA maybe not but I may choose to believe my version anyway just because I like it.
