Scattered Light

Current Tales...

Well, there really aren't any. Anyone want to play?

Older Tales...

Players: Jeremy, Michael

Jeremy caught my heart with his character Nyin, who is playing in a setting that I have been dying to try... Nyin is a pearl diver who was just taken on to a pirate ship as a Wheeler, one of the sea-gypsies that dance and sing their way over the waters. We started out with two players--Michael's Kel was one of the pirates who knows that they are about to make a strike on Nyin's home isle... meanwhile, Nyin is becoming wrapped up in a Wheeler and a magical situation that is way over his head...
This game is in a state to continue if the remaining player and gm coincide in one area for long enough.

The following documents from the campaign are available:
Nyin's Stats * Description & Inventory * Character Study * NPCs of Note * "The Wheeler Song"

Player: Jeremy

Eredred Starkeep was raised a noble lad by a rich lady, but in truth he has no idea of his origins. After having seen what poverty can do, his magnanimous soul has gone out to those in need... compounded by the fact that that beggar woman on the street corner could be his birth mother. Upon hearing of troubles in a river town to the east, he set off upriver with his horsey friend, Lady Sara. Now that they have arrived, Eredred finds the problem to be lying deeper than he was led to believe... and a young lad named Piv has promised to give him a glimpse of the reason...
This game could be picked back up with a little effort and relocation.

Players: Michael, Aimee, Chalyn, Matt, Turco, Jay, Chris, Jeremy

In the fall of 1995, I was running a very large game starting out with seven players. It was set in a feudal kingdom, involving political intrigue with another kingdom and sinister threatenings from a Dark Elf expansionist...
The game fell apart after some of the players became really hard to get together at the same time, but it was fun while it lasted...

Players: Matt, Aimee, Sean, Chris

This was a smaller game which never came to a conclusion, but has been dropped. Aimee played a modified monk of Maeve (sexual pleasuring was one of her proficiencies) and, while it was not a graphic game for the most part, it was very comedic, watching people react to her. We also had a dwarf bespelled to fall in love with a half-ogre... very free spirited game. Fun fun fun.
This one ended after a brilliant manifestation of the goddess Maeve brought us all to our knees with laughter, and we decided it was time to call it quits.

Player: Aimee

Aimee had her very own game, playing a Viking scald. Her red-headed Norse warrior friend couldn't explain to her why there is a snow lepard dogging her tracks, but he sure did come in handy when the pair was attacked by a wolf pack...
Aimee was my roommate in college when we were playing this. When we both got single rooms, the game pretty much stopped.
