 ==== Plot ====
-The episode begins with the [[offtopic:AH.com Ship]] and [[offtopic:CF.net]] both appearing on the same timeline, and preparing to slug it out, when suddenly several members of both ships are teleported off by persons unknown.  The missing AH.com members ([[offtopic:Doctor What]], [[offtopic:Torqumada]], [[offtopic:Flocculencio]], [[offtopic:IronYuppie]], and [[offtopic:Dave Howery]])wake up on the planet below, and find themselves dressed up in the clothing and weaponry of a party of fantasy adventurers.

 Some investigation by the crew still on ship reveals that they are in a timeline where the Earth was massively terraformed to create a fantasy roleplaying world, complete with underground factories making real living monsters, 'magic' items, and pseudo-medieval weaponry. The party finds that they are supposed to investigate and put an end to a cult that worships an evil frog god in the town of Rana; they find an altered [[offtopic:MerryPrankster]] there playing an innkeeper.

 The final battle was against a hideously altered and powerful [[offtopic:Ward]], who nearly took out the entire party, but was killed by Flocculencio backstabbing him.  The party was then transported back to Rana, along with the CF.net people.  There, E. Gary Gygax (EGG), the creator of the Adventure Planet, revealed that a computer glitch had caused the crew from both ships to be hijacked into the game, and all was settled.  EGG allowed the party members to take one item each from the game, as a partial repayment for their trouble.  Dave Howery, though, seemed to have cheated.. he used a magical bag to sneak Keira away from the planet... and she is now his paramour on the ship.

 This episode was one of the author's favorites, due to his misspent youth which was heavily into D&D. Strangely enough, none of the readers seemed to mind that the author had the audacity to give himself a pretty young actress as a girlfriend.
