Just wanted to say hello and that I'm glad to have found this site! I just dusted off my core book and the few source books in hopes of enticing my wife, daughter and a few friends. I was just searching the web for any info and stumbled in. So, "Hello" to all and thanks to the creators and moderators. Smile

Welcome to the boards and your thanks is appreciated. Unfortunately, I'm not as active as I'd like to be at the moment. I have too much stuff on my plate. But I'll be graduating about halfway through December, and until I hear back from either an employer or a Grad school, I have PLENTY of time to finish my projects. The portal has a link to the archive site that has all the old information from Decipher and fan made material. Take a look at and have fun!

Welcome aboard, ThunderChilde. I'm glad you're using the sites content, but not everything posted is my creation. I have a few things in the tunnel that I hope to finish before my next attempt at running a game. A series of 3-4 adventures, a rules update, and some cards for the Narrators use (NPCs and Item cards at the moment).

Preparation is good, handouts for the players handy. I generally just prepare a vague map, key NPC's , and a few notes on the outline. The key calender events (things that will happen not matter what, weather and such). My players are somewhat prone to doing things I hadn't planned for so a rigid adventure form doesn't work. Oh and pregened groups of baddies.
that is my game prep in a nut shell.

Any adventures I write are usually pretty free form. I give a direction, and some unchangeable events, but leave a lot of wiggle room. Players almost never respond how one might think.

My preparations for a game are usually pretty intense. I like to immerse people as much as I can. I construct a soundtrack, item cards, numerous NPC cards, and custom miniatures. I also usually have multiple story arcs within the frame of a larger story and often ask the players to write a background so I can include a storyline that's centered around that specific character. A friend of mine tried to pick up as GM a Star Wars game I had to abandon and wasn't able to keep track of what I was doing. We had six players with four major intersecting story lines and about two dozen NPCs from all over the galaxy, each with their own background, motivations, and opinions of the characters. I also had a destination for some of the NPCs; some could be convinced to join the Rebellion, for example.

As stated, I like to fully immerse my players. I like the roleplay, not dungeon crawl. Most games I've played in (not as a GM) are usually some variation of playing Diablo. Not that dungeon crawls can't be fun. Murdering hordes of baddies has its place, even in my games. But I like to have my players feel like they've actually been on a journey and have had some sort revelatory experience.

Maybe it's just the natural progression of my love for epic stories.
