My name is Mal. Growing up in The City, I had been taught that a benevolent goddess protected us from the Demon Lord and his legion of horrors. But upon my exile, I learned the world was far larger and more wonderful than I could have ever imagined.

Even after reuniting with my beloved, the villainess Green Phoenix, the work of an immortal is never done. Learning of a plot to take over the world using my old mind control virus, I know I must act. For the virus is a fake, a ruse to hide my magnum opus—the genophage that unlocked the potential of the human genome and led to the current age of parahumans. If someone were to learn the truth, they could undo my greatest work or worse.

My name is Mal, and ever since I was a boy I've been treated as a malcontent because of my ability to see magic. For everyone else, magic is proof of the Goddess's love. To me, it is just a colorful spread of enchantments, cantrips, blessings, and hexes. And any spell I can see, I can break. I had always expected to grow up to be a ditch-digger. Instead, I was dubbed a hero. Heroes are sent out in the wasteland, to slay monsters and to challenge the Demon Lord. It's a suicide mission. But once I was exiled, I found that the outside world was drastically different than I had thought.

The Star Ravagers were once counted amongst the defenders of humanity, fighting against aliens, heretics, and horrors beyond reason. But then we were betrayed, falsely slandered by traitors and cowards. An accident gave me a chance at freedom and vengeance. Joined by a beautiful engineer, an enigmatic AI, and human-alien hybrid, we seek to overturn the stars and save the survivors of my legion. When we learn they’ve been sold to a brutal blood sports game, my fury knows no bounds.

The end game approaches, and I’m in a three-way race against a psychotic goddess and the most powerful necromancer who’s ever lived. There is only one general left, and both Reverkar, King of the Dwarves, and the Bitch Goddess want to find him first. If either of them wins, it means the end of the world. But my wives and I aren’t about to let them win without a fight. We’ll battle against zombies, brainwashed slayers, and horrors untold as we journey across Amalgam in our effort to stop them.

My name is James Browning. Not long ago, I was a proud member of the 92nd Legion, the Star Ravagers. We were super-soldiers that defended humanity from aliens, heretics, and otherworldly threats. But a callous betrayal left my legion decimated, erased, and dishonored. I thought I was doomed to spend the rest of my life on a distant penal colony. But when I suddenly find myself stranded in an alien space station, surrounded by the wrecks of lost spaceships, I know I have a chance at escape.

I’ve come far in my quest against the Saints and Republic, gathering power allies and the firepower of the greatest starship built by humanity. Only… it might not be enough. The Saints have ripped a hole in reality, one that will allow their eldritch masters to enter our world and consume it whole. Leading humanity’s crusade against the apocalypse, my lovers and I will need to smash through the Saints' defenses and reach the corrupt capital of the Republic. If we can slay our foes before the breach fully opens, we might have a chance of stopping them.

There are no more generals left to fight over, or shards of divinity for the Bitch Goddess to devour. My wives and I have fought across the width and breadth of Amalgam in our battle against the avatar of greed. We’ve defeated zombies, angels, monsters, and horrors beyond count, every victory bringing us to this, the final battle.

Revenge is the path of damnation–and I walk it willingly. When my legion was falsely cast down, I swore I would see the stars burn and the galaxy bleed. The Star Ravagers would be redeemed, and the Republic and the Saints would pay for the betrayal.

Power up, pick up some babes, and fight for your life—that’s just how things work when you’re trapped in a theme park run amok! A lot has changed since I was initially dumped in Dungeon World. I’ve gone from penniless adventurer to world-saving hero with a bevy of beauties by my side. Together we’re on a quest to save Dungeon World, a theme park planet gone haywire, from the insidious corporation that created it.

My name is Robert Grailmont. Since I was young, I felt called to serve my fellow citizens, rising through the political ranks with a senator’s seat in my near future. But when I tried to reveal the scandal of the century, I found myself framed by the very people I was trying to expose. I thought I’d hit rock bottom, never to get back up, but then I heard a call from another world. "Dark Lord, we need you!"

It's all been leading to this: the battle to decide the fate of Dungeon World! When I arrived on the theme-park planet run amok, I had nothing, but I've built an amazing life surrounded by the women I love. There's no way I'm allowing some tyrannical madman to steal it all away. Nobody said the destined showdown would be easy. We'll have to contend with insane biomechanical monsters, cyberpunk gangsters, and extraversal horrors beyond count! Our journey will take us from the deepest dungeons to dead worlds and shattered realities.

In the year and a half since my arrival in Turmont, I have risen as the Dark Lord of a defeated kingdom. Under my rule, Duskhaven has flourished, and we have begun to liberate our lands from the Luminark Empire. With the power of a god and my four beautiful, magically empowered queens, I know we can rebuild. But it isn’t enough. My ascendant queens and I want to save all of our people held in slavery. We want to humble and break our enemies. When a magical accident sends me behind enemy lines, I know I have to seize the opportunity.

Before our kingdom can rise, we’ll need an army. That’s the thought that keeps me up at night. My name is Robert Grailmont, and I am the Dark Lord of Duskhaven. Two hundred years ago, our nation was destroyed by the goddess of light and the Luminark Empire. We have made great advances since my coronation. With my ascendant queens by my side, we’ve risen from a group of starving refugees to a true nation. But to defeat the empire and to liberate our people still held as slaves, we need power. We need an army of ascendant champions.
