Admin:  This is the first part an unofficial and incomplete directory of
threads currently active in the newsgroup alt.dragons-inn, listing threads
beginning with the letters A through E. The information contained herein
was compiled with the assistance of the folks identified as "thread admin"
for each storyline.  Anyone who would like to add their thread to this
directory should use the standard format below and email the addition to
talorina@maniac.deathstar.org.  Changes to current entries should be sent
to the same address.  Information regarding the month/year when a thread
first started, and any Web pages relevant to the threads, are especially
welcome. 

HOW TO USE THIS FAQ:  This directory is intended to give only the briefest
explanation of a storyline.  Requests for further information or for past
posts in any thread -- and especially any questions on whether a new
player may join an existing thread -- should be directed to the email
address listed after "thread admin."
