A Touch of Hero Worship
I didn’t have a lot of heroes as a child. There were various fictional characters that I wanted to emulate (at one point I was very cross that my parents hadn’t abandoned me as a baby in some African jungle to become Tarzan), but that’s not quite the same thing. Through child...

Timothy knock knock! Anyone home? We need mroe intelligence!
September
I am not fond of the limits on The Agency. For example, one should be able to play sub-agencies against eachother within game rules (using powers and operatives to do this). One should also be able to generate pawns that are even so powerful as mad scientists and degenerate tycoons -- to foil their plans only sets up... a situation for the player character agent who owns these pawns.
However we might have to wait for games that come after World of Darkness MMO. And if it's not World of Darkness MMO that saves the MMO industry, it will have to be GURPS MMO if Steve Jackson ever gets off his butt and does that.

Adventures in Dungeons & Dragons
When I was maybe 10 or 12, my parents gave me a copy of the Dungeons & Dragons Players Handbook. I don’t remember exactly when it was, and I’m not sure what prompted this gift as they had never played D&D themselves, but I’m guessing it was probably around the time that the Dun...

What’s in a name?
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. So says Shakespeare’s Juliet, referring to Romeo, but although Juliet seems sure that names are irrelevant, I still find it one of the hardest parts of creating a quest, and I know I’m ...

My First Multiplayer Game

Character Creation
I am one of those people who loves character creation and can spend ages playing around with all the different options. I generally start any game by attempting two different things: I try to make a character who looks as much like me as possible, and then I try to make a character that lo...

A Goo-d Game

The Tales we Tell
A couple of years ago I wrote a couple of stories for the print-and-paper “EQuinox” magazine, an official EQII magazine produced by MMM Publishing. I wasn’t working for SOE at the time, but they were looking for volunteers to provide stories, and someone gave them my name.
