Well that certainly is a pretentious title, eh? I don’t really mean for it to be pretentious and, in fact, I’m not all that interested in defining role-playing games. What I’m going to do is take the standard definition (aka Wikipedia’s) and highlight its various components and stress the elements that I prefer in a game.
A role-playing game is a game in which the participants assume the roles of fictional characters and collaboratively create or follow stories. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, players can improvise freely; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the games.Company H Campaign Calendar
I’ve put up a link on the Old Campaigns page to the campaign calendar from the Company H campaign. This campaign was something of a combination of Red Hand of Doom and Temple of Elemental Evil and took place in a modified Greyhawk (Verbobonc to be specific). The campaign calendar was pretty much written by myself and Rachel. She would take notes during the game, send them to me later, and I’d add/edit to put it together. I’ll post a little bit about the PCs later.
