Background: Wu Ch'eng En started out life as a slave of the Sazdorf Trolls, adventured for a while on the plains of Prax, and ended up (believe it or not) falling through a dimensional portal in Sog's Ruins (or was it Ex?) which led to the Referee's laboriously written-up campaign-world of Lhankmar. Sadly, Lhankmar aint Glorantha, so after a few sessions the Toon-quest party's interest started to wander, and the game foundered.
I'm not sure where the hobbits came into it, though. David?
