Dandelyon's Worlds

To be honest, yes, one of the reasons I haven't jumped into Torn World is simply because the sheer scale of it is rather daunting. It's not like a good series of novels, which has a linear narrative and, thus, a clear start and end point, but it's a whole body of not just stories, but multiple backgrounds and contexts blending together in a fashion that, for an outsider, can seem really bewildering.
