'''Trinton Chronicles''' is the creation of a Role Playing Game turned collection-novel where the main story revolves around a group of strangers whom all live in the same city (Trinton) off of the coast of Virgina in a parallel world similar to our own, except every humanoid is really an animoid (furry/anthropomorphic). This group of strangers, by fate's whim it seems, comes together and helps to take down various villains and thugs whom roam the city streets and terrorize the local populious.

The Trinton Chronicles started out as an online role playing game on EZboards in July, 1999, as the creation of Dan Hopkins of Ohio and had help from various other people including the recently discovered talents of Aliqua Jones, Jay Potter, Robin Hetzel, Claudia Kratochwill, Hannah Grey, Micheal Florian, Jason Anderson, Steven P. , Debbie Gurbacki, and Nicole Gilbert.

The role playing game was a free form ''write your own story'' message board that under went a change of message boards and forums three times during it's life-span. The game world was mostly modeled after both anime, manga, tv shows, classic movies, and more but also continued an earlier creation of Dan's called simply '''Bold text''The 10 Pack''Italic text''.

The style of play often caused great conflict and confusion with in the story it's self although many jokes in-story/in-game were made during the 3rd and 4th years it was running (2001 and 2002). At first not many people were sure about playing 'furries' since the term often has gathered a bad reputation at conventions and on shows like CSI and MTV Real World; truthfully the group became furry lovers...they created a unique set of characters whom are mature, anime-like, and have deep story-lines behind them.

Trinton Chronicles produced 3 books (New Genesis, White Death, and Xanith's Reign)and two off shoots (Forgotten World of Eternity and Sealed Fate) which were later published on [http://angelfire.com/ct/furryrpghome/TC.html] for public view. Eventually in late 2005 to early 2006 the game slowly wound down and appeared to die for a temporary amount of time, until recently (Feb 2007) when previous members of the game elected they wanted to play again and start a new chapter for Trinton.
