'''''The Town''''' is a (mostly) fantasy freeform [[Play-By-Post Games|Play By Post Game]] with origins at the Giant in the Playground forums. It started when a werewolf and a [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half-Dragon]] had a feud that climaxed in an arena fight, which led an [[Funny Animal|enterprising cat]] to make some money off selling dolls and making a Milk Bar, not to mention ascending to [[A God Am I|godhood]]. Make sense so far? No? Good; most of the longtime Townies don't really get it either. '''The Town''' has since developed into many stories and plots, so many, in fact, that there are doubts that anyone knows all of them.
 
After a while and due to some disagreements between Townies and technical difficulties with the Giant in the Playground, the Town was split into two different sites, most commonly called [https://web.archive.org/web/20130913124956/http://enupnion.myfastforum.org/index.php New Town], where many people emigrated, and [http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32 Old Town], where those stayed who didn't want to abandon GitP due to various reasons. In either case, it's devilishly difficult to join the town at this point without stick-to-it-ivness.
 
New Town also created three other [[Recycled in Space|Sub-Towns]]: Modern Town; which has more of a Modern motif; Sci-Fi Town, which has a Sci-Fi motif, and The Hamlet, which is a lower-power Western-style setting. The Hamlet has since been abandoned.

The Nexus provides examples of:
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]] - Used many times, even serving as the home of a freakish serial killer.
* [[Anachronism Stew]] - Blatant and proud of it.
Line 25:
* [[Ax Crazy]] - Almost everyone has at least one PC like this <s>particularly Nevrmore</s>.
** Thryza wears this trope like a pair of favorite jeans. As does The Many.
* [[Badass Labcoat]] - Many of Town's scientists are this, notable examples being [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]]s Chris Wogal (and his evil father) and Vocusta M'quaxi (who is a [[Hot Scientist|Hot Mad Undead Scientist]]).
* [[Beginner's Luck]] - PCs tend to be at their most powerful when first introduced.
** There are exceptions - BR powered up significantly over time due to the threat of Draken.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]] - Beans's musical plots are sort of this in relation to the rest of the universe.
* [[Brain Bleach]] - Tobias. BR. Lust potion. 'Nuff said.
** The crackfics that Beans once prompted people to imagine are even more so. Tobias/Carrie. <s>Vocusta</s> ANYONE/Greo. (Greo is a sort of silly demonic blob of goo that noms things.)
