What happens when TTRPGs are played in the John Wrangler saga.

"Easily a hundred vampires and werewolves lost their lives to them, combined." That's a lot. Abundant loot.

Yes, especially in the form of pearly whites.

I mean this constructively and not as an insult, but I've read quite a few of your stories since they keep showing up on tags I search for, and yet not a single one was followable or even simply made sense. It's like there is such a tremendous amount of excruciatingly specific lore, all of which seems to deeply affect the character's behaviors, and is thus kept absolutely essential to making sense of anything. And yet none of it is intuitive or reasonable to a typical person/reader from our world; it's all completely foreign, and yet almost none of it is actually explained. All the characters behave in such bizarre ways, apparently completely accustomed to countless things utterly foreign to us. Even basic morality seems thoroughly turned on its head. Of course, there's nothing wrong with writing a world alien to the average person. But the more important, and the more detailed that lore is, the more explanation and introduction it needs in order to avoid being just a long chain of "wait, why the heck is he OK with that? Why is *everyone* OK with that? Why doesn't he just do X?".

I'd like to be able to enjoy these, but there just seems to be a deep disconnect between what is normal and intuitive to you, and to an average person. The combination of the lore's importance, volume, unintuitiveness/foreignness, and being taken for granted and unexplained makes for incomprehensible characters and story. And sorry if this comes off as offensive, but it's meant as genuine constructive feedback.

Now, that's the fun aspect to fantasy and sci-fi stories - it doesn't need to make sense for someone in our world, so long as it makes sense within the fictional world.

Likewise, this is just one part of a much larger saga.
