Nanofather

An NPC in Steeplechase. This character appears at the beginning of most episodes and tells the Steeplechase campaign as a frame story within a larger world. Nanofather is making up the story of Steeplechase (as opposed to recounting it as a history).

Justin claims to not pre-meditate the bit before each episode, insisting that he has no greater knowledge than the listener: "I have spoken to this guy exactly as much as you guys have. I open my mouth, he says some things, he goes about his way. I don't know where it's coming from and I don't know where it's going."

Environment
The Nanofather broadcasts stories through a microphone-like device to unknown listeners. He lives somewhere where rust storms are a regular weather pattern. The Nanofather plays Psy-chess with Shoeckles.

Other characters
Others in this world include a younger character named Kevekka and a cat named Bart Shoeckles. Shoeckles is often asked to fetch beverages for Nanofather. He has "micro-nephews" named Klenton, Draviss, and Gribby, whose names bear remarkable resemblance to Clinton, Travis, and Griffin.

The Nanofather has referenced various refreshments including:


 * Stew
 * Scum canteen
 * Pollen broth
