Together they uncover and must face an evil that they could not have imagined. Follow this band of hilarious misfits as they take you on an epic journey of high adventure filled with suspense and danger in a world of dragons, sorcerers, and plenty of "sacred herb."

Growing up on the East Coast, Mark Dorey had a wild spirit that needed to be tamed, and his mother taught him to how to channel that energy to be creative and grow as an artist instead of getting into trouble. As he grew, his friends convinced him to use his creative talents and inspired Mark to write the epic fantasy, The Chronicles of the Great Neblinski, based on the weekly adventures he and his five friends shared in their role-playing games; Shiddumbuzzin/Musky, Grarr, Beornag, Raz, Durik, and Mark, Poppa Szvirf Neblinski.
