Desirebro's tale! (Demigod Subterfuge)
This is one of my favorite Tabletop related stories that I have collected over the years. All of which I have shamelessly stolen from this site! So thank you everybody who's posted content like this stuff before. I'm thinking all of it would make an excellent coffee table book, so if you've got some good ones squirreled away post 'em in the comments and lets compare notes. Anyways, enjoy!
