This page is to describe the Megatokyo Campfire Story, for lack of a better name, set up in the MT Forums, specifically the SD Fanworks section, known for being? well, out there and quite different from normal people.

This story started out innocently enough as a single thread created by xp194, one of the forumgoers, describing it in the first post as "[[Round Robin|Chinese whispers with a plot]]" and that it took place in the world of [[Megatokyo]].

After a while, people began to set everything into a plot where the forumgoers were [[Trapped in Another World|trapped in MT]] as their forum personas; the story was usually spearheaded by the unofficial GM, Grimblaze, who also set up [http://megatokyocampfire.wikispaces.com/ the wiki] for this story, which has reached 140+ pages [http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1731363 across] [http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1732346 four] [http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1732870 separate] [http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1733589 threads], not including the [http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1732294 Christmas spinoff] (only two more pages, but still?). The core of the story is Tom Johnson (aka Grimblaze) working against the Norse gods in some sort of prophecy involving Destruction or something along those lines (Needless to say, [[Continuity Snarl|it's quite complicated]]).

There is now a 'sequel' of sorts, subtitled "[http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1733794 School Days]", incorporating some characters/elements from the first, but mostly starting over from scratch, making it easier for new people to drop in; there is also a cap on powers/abilites. The plot is also (mostly) controlled by Grimblaze: the local high school now finds itself under the control of one Grigori Rasputin, who decides to mold the schoolchildren into his personal army as part of his return from power; there are many 'specials' with notable talents attending the school as well, some who will have to fight against "Rasp-sensei's" minions?
