Gaming Stories

Gamers (in this context, those who play Role-Playing Games) are fairly easy to spot. Even outside of conventions, one can find them in the local Denny's or Carrow's or the equivalent, around 2:00 in the morning on a Saturday, when you can overhear them talking about the game they just finished. Gamers like to talk about gaming. Endlessly. Some even write up the best sessions as stories:

• This is a modern faerie tale, from sometime in 1995.
• This is the story of a Feng Shui game set at a Monster Truck Rally, from DundraCon, February 1998.

Campaign on the Web

I am currently running one campaign, and in a couple of others.

• The campaign I am running is called "Amber High School", but is not quite that.
• I have also been caught up in a live-action game, From Light to Darkness.

Alas, even good things end sometime. These are some campaigns that are no longer active:

• An alternative Amber game, Seasons of Change.
• The Franklin Academy for Exceptional Youth
• Trip's Nexus campaign, The Nexus City Government Survey Team
• My Nexus campaign, featuring The Blofeld Transportation Company
• Another capaign set in Nexus, but with a variant system developed by Trip: Nexans Who Matter
• An Ars Magica campaign set in Alexandria
• A much older Ars Magica campaign, Amnis Mirabilis
• Trip's Akushima Campaign, which started as a one-shot to test the new Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition, but grew sort of uncontrollably.
• Yet another Nexus campaign run by Trip; Speedy Parcel Delivery.
• Finally, one campaign that returned from the dead, but appears to have returned: Al's Mage campaign, Nora's Home for Wayward Youth
• My Sailor Moon style Champions campaign, Knights of Atlantis which died because I couldn't get the hang of running Sailor Moon.

Other Web RPG Elements

One of my long running characters was Invisible Black, a Champions mentalist.
