==How It Begins==
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" /><![endif]-->
An elite group of ubernerd gamers are beta-testing an MMORPG called ''1337''. As the gamers ascend levels, they begin to realize that the game is much more than just a videogame and they are faced with the challenge of winning their lives back.

<style type="text/css">#bodyContent { position:relative; }
==Notable Features==
.topicon { position:absolute; top:-2em !important;}
* Names of characters and other details are dynamically generated from readers' Facebook profiles.
#coordinates{ position:absolute; top:1px !important; right:0px !important;}</style></head><body class="mediawiki ltr ns-2 ns-subject page- skin-monobook">
* Story navigation mimics a [[choose your own adventure]]. Each of the novel's 300 pages prompts readers to select an option or supply their own. Choices shape minor descriptions and plot elements.
<div id="globalWrapper">
* Players' statistics are based on Jungian archetypes and traditional [[RPG]] character attributes (such as intro/extravert and lawful/chaotic).
<div id="column-content">
* The game extends beyond the program in the manner of an alternate reality game. This includes faux internet sites, scholarship on videogaming, news articles, and other online games.

<p>Players join a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_%28car%29#Clan_Crusader">clan</a> in the year 1337 A.D. as underling footsoldiers to either <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_III_of_England">King Edward III</a> of England or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_VI_of_France">King Philip VI</a> of France.
Early gameplay involves traditional <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massively_multiplayer_online_role-playing_game">MMORPG</a> gathering, exploring, and leveling-up tasks, which culminates in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_races_%28F%E2%80%93J%29#Gank">ganking</a> battle with the level's main boss. Further <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_security">empire-building</a> style levels follow, based on subsequent historical periods. The total number of game levels is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysterium_%28Scriabin%29">currently unknown</a>.</p>

<p>The game was pre-reviewed in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan!">Gameology Magazine</a>
in late 2009 by David Braskin, a name later discovered to be
fictitious. The real <a href="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/AF/individual_record.asp?recid=25671195&lds=0&region=-1&regionfriendly=&frompage=99">David Braskin</a> filed a defamation lawsuit shortly thereafter. Gameology Magazine has not been available for comment on
this matter. The supposed reviewer gave the game 3 1/2 out of 5 stars, writing "the thing that lost it those 1 1/2 stars for me was the cheesy binary code on the box cover. Or wait. Was it like wink-wink cheesy?"</p>
<p>"Vaster than empires and more real. Frigteningly so." -- Dara Colbert, Spectre
<p>"One insane behemoth of a pesonality test." --<i>McFarley's Weekly</i><br>
<p>"Tune in, turn on, drop out." -- Timothy Leary</p>
<p> "It requires some cooperation from God, but if he's willing, I'm willing.” -- David Milch</p>

<p>Real1st Games is one of many callsigns associated with the underground hacking collective <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_matrix">Sparse</a>. The group originated in Okinawa, under the leadership of <a href="http://www.animecons.com/guests/bio.shtml/588/Johnny_Otaku">Johnny Otaku</a>, and is believed to be in some way connected to the Yakuza.</p>
<p>The company originally attributed lead design of <i>1337</i> to "Mark Fullmer", which was later discovered to be an elaborate hoax, which included a fictitiously authored <a href="http://facebook.com/mark.fullmer">facebook page</a>, <a href="http://markfullmer.com/">personal weblog</a>, and even complete <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Sea-Eight-Stories/dp/1448679109/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263581204&sr=8-1">short story</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI-JFjj7VnM">poetry</a> collections. The true creator of <i>1337</i> remains unknown, though disgruntled fans are <a href="http://real1stgames.com/i-believed-mark-fullmer">actively working</a> to discover the identity.</p>
<p>On January 15, 2010, the company was suddenly disbanded, though there has been speculation that this was simply media misdirection intended to divert attention from the company's clandestine operations.</p>

1337: A Game Novel is an interactive serial novel by Mark Fullmer. It uses Facebook App functionality to integrate a player's personal information into the storyline and employs RSS feeds to dynamically incorporate current events.

How It Begins

An elite group of ubernerd gamers are beta-testing an MMORPG called 1337. As the gamers ascend levels, they begin to realize that the game is much more than just a videogame and they are faced with the challenge of winning their lives back.

Notable Features

  • Names of characters and other details are dynamically generated from readers' Facebook profiles.
  • Story navigation mimics a choose your own adventure. Each of the novel's 300 pages prompts readers to select an option or supply their own. Choices shape minor descriptions and plot elements.
  • Players' statistics are based on Jungian archetypes and traditional RPG character attributes (such as intro/extravert and lawful/chaotic).
  • The game extends beyond the program in the manner of an alternate reality game. This includes faux internet sites, scholarship on videogaming, news articles, and other online games.
