Table Top Gaming

So I've been playing table top RPG's of the likes of DnD since some time around 1991.  It was when I set off to senior school and discovered the joys of the war-games club.  Really by that point it was the table top RPG club and war games never really got a look in.

I perhaps came at the hobby backwards because before then I did live action role-playing since some time in the mid-late 80's.

I had quite a dry spell going through university because I couldn't find a game but after that I've played and run more games than I can really track.

What does all this have to do with tonight's post?

Well I wanted to talk a little about my plans for an up coming game.

This is being run for a group I used to work with (mostly) who either have never played, have played in the dim and distant past, or have never played GURPS.

This adventure they will be running through is tried and tested over many many years.  There used to be a role playing club called The Portly Pixie.  They had a complex that could be rearranged quickly to form new passages and could be set up for different adventures.  Sadly they no longer operate their fantasy adventures but they have published the adventure portfolio as well as the original rules for the live action game.

This means that I can use those adventures for this group who never had a chance to experience them originally.

This map is the first part showing the village of Sham and it's surroundings.


Sepia for that genuine 1800's look on a pseudo medieval world...
