ROLE PLAYING

GAMES

RPG WRITINGS

I've GM'ed a few games, mainly in RuneQuest and GURPS. While I'm hardly in line to be the God Of Role Playing Games, some of my ideas might actually be of interest and use to other folk. Most of this stuff was originally published in myThe Eight Track Mind 'zine in the Interregnum APA.

The Shifted Lands

The Shifted Lands is a setting I created because I wanted to try a world of Magic and Technology, but not necessarily the "cyberpunk" world of Shadowrun. It's developing and evolving, and I'll likely be producing more stuff in this setting.

The Shifted Lands

The basic overview of the game world.

Winged People

Some peoples I designed for the setting that might work in other settings.

One Session Wonder

A one session game I ran in the Shifted Lands.

Highlander: Immortals in RPG

Highlander Immortals in RPG is my take on using Immortals similar to those in the HighlanderTV series in a game. I mainly deal with what the Truth may be about them, and how they can fit into the mythos of a setting.

Resurrection

Most systems have some form of it, but how should we treatResurrection ? Here's my thoughts in what some have felt is a fairly entertaining article.

The Bait And Switch Campaign

What could be more annoying than creating a character for one type of campaign but ending up playing in another? Well, in case any GM thinks this is a neat thing to do to their players myBait and Switch article will hopefully dissuade you, or give you an alternative plan.

Player Character Suicide

Why and when should one kill their own character? MyPC Suicide article offers some ideas.

Magic Items

At the moment, the Magic Items store has but one selection, "The Orb of All Worlds". More stuff will get added as they get recalled and created.

Creatures and Entities

The Slime God

A not exactly a god designed for RuneQuest, readily adaptable to Call of Cthulhu, and adaptable to other games and settings.

RPG LINKS

I've added a whole bunch of links; I'll add more in the way of commentary as time goes on.

Alarums and Excursions

Probably the oldest RPG APA, edited by Lee Gold. She's written some commercially published work, and so have some of the other contributors. A&E tends to have a lot of inter-contributor discussions.

Steve Jackson Games

Another great game company and publishers of Pyramid.Lots of weird stuff as one would expect from the publishers ofIlluminati. Check out "Warehouse 23" when you're there.

Delecti's Upland Marsh

A treasure trove of stuff for RuneQuest and Glorantha.

Alderac Entertainment Group

The parent company of Shadis magazine.

White Wolf

The publishers of Vampire: the Masquerade,the other "World of Darkness" games, and other games.

Wizards of the Coast

The producers of the infamous Magic: the Gathering and other CCGs, and the (adoptive) parent company of TSR.

TSR

The Grand Old Company, the producers of AD&D, andDragonmagazine.

Grey Ghost Games

Publishers of FUDGE and Gatecrasher (a FUDGE based game). The site has loads of stuff for the games, and you can download the FUDGE rules there.

Fractal Dimensions

West End Games - The Premiere Licensed RPG Company

The folk who made Paranoia, and the Star Wars RPG, and a (perhaps excessive) host of licensed games.

Wowee: The Roleplaying Directory

Sort of a search engine for RPGs.

Have a link to suggest? Send an email toklyfix@aol.com and we'll check it out. I'm looking for a definitive (English language) Twerps link.

Interregnum Contributors

These pages are produced by my fellowInterregnum contributors. Some folk have copies of their zines on their sites, and most have a lot of other RPG stuff and other things of interest. And there's anINTERREGNUM Roleplaying/Science Fiction Magazine web page, now in a new home.

The Space-Crime Continuum

This is actually for the bookstore owned by IR writer, Chris Aylott. The store sells both SF and mysteries, thus the name, and gaming stuff.

Warp Nine Flying False Colors

Bob Butler's pages; he did a couple 'zines for IR, and previously contributed to The Wild Hunt. The page is, well, interesting.

Dave Dickie's Home Page

A frequent contributor, Dave is also an PBEM gamer, and the page reflects that.

David Dunham's PenDragon Pass

"PenDragon Pass" is Glorantha usingPendragon Pass rules and has earned much praise. David's IR zine featured the adventures occurring in his campaign.

The Fantasy Realms Journal

A rather large site featuring IR contributors Joseph Teller and Kiralee McCauley. There's a whole lot of stuff here, including their own RPG system, and lots of other stuff including SF and Fantasy, and Pagan stuff. There is a warning that I've elected to copy so as to get it right...

"This Site Contains Material That May Not Be Suitable for All Audiences and is NOT recommended for persons under the age of 18 or who may become upset at satire, parody or opinions that are not their own in regards to religion, art, history, politics or the nature of the universe."

So you've been warned. Nothing to worry about if you're a reasonably intelligent, tolerant, and open-minded sort.

The Real McCoy

Elizabeth McCoy's site. Links to lots of GURPS stuff, and neat links. Note in her comments that she actually makes money at this stuff. :)

Her description: ""In Nomine Line Editor, GURPS player, and generally bemused," maybe... (Archangel of Archives, Demon Princess of Nitpicking!)"

Dr. Rich Staat's Home Page

Rich has a whole lot of RPG articles here, and lots of links.

The Realms of Chaos

Curtis Taylor's home page; lots of links.

Rebecca Tweed's Roleplaying Page

This has some background stuff from games she's been in, and a slew of links.

George D. J. Phillies

Quite a page; he gives quite a lot of information on his background, his work as a physics teacher, and his (seeking a publisher) novel with a link to the first few chapters. His IR 'zines generally consisted of rather good fiction. The sites below....

Phillies for CongressCentral Massachusetts Liberty Coalition

relate to his political interests; he's running for the House of Representives on the Libertarian ticket in the Mass. 3rd district.

Collie's Bestiary

Collie Collier's site has all her IR and Wild Huntzines, some of her school papers, and other writings, and shows that she has a sense of humor.

Pete's RuneQuest Page

Peter Maranci's RQ page. There's some scenarios, a couple HeroQuests, and other RuneQuest and Glorantha stuff.

Mark's Home Page

Mark Sabalauskas's web page; a variety of different bits of his interests. And the banner below goes to a new project of his.

 

The Eight Track Mind

My contribution to IR. All my zines are online except for 2, 3, and 11. What is worthwhile from them is available elsewhere on the site.
