    • This Interesting Thing I Found on the Internet

I'm not talking about a guide book like Peter Tyson's. I mean using the lore and other things related to a game that you play to create and publish a book. This question is just purely out of curiosity.

Have you, uh, been to the "Community Games and Stories" section of these forums? I mean, not that the average thread there is published novel quality, but as a basic answer to the theoretical question... Or look up Boatmurdered on the wiki. I think you'll wind up in most of the same places whichever end you start at (Boatmurdered is then, the forum section is now).

Alternatively, for shorter stories, there's this site. There are some epics in their own right on there.

I have an idea. Let's play a game where you win by being as quiet as possible.
I get it, it's one of those games where losing is fun!
