So, who are the players in the campaign?

Well, the group has settled down for the most part with 5 of us, that's with me included. I've got the php pages almost done and then it'll be time to drop all the other pages for the php version.

If you are reading this the php version is up and running. If I don't have all of the players up by then, I should have them up soon.

As all this is coming from a database, it'll be a lot easier for me to update these pages. Let's just hope nothing ever happens to the data!

The GM - John Gunter

So, this is me, the game master. Well being the game master is one way I can be incharge.

Most of the players from the old group didn't have time to play anymore, so we pretty much dropped the campaign. Part of the problem stemmed from me, I didn't have enough time to plan for the game sessions, so the last few were a little lacking in content. So, the campaign ended.

Well, my biggest time constaint, school, will soon be over. May 2nd, 2002 is the last day of classes, and then I'll have my internet developer certificate. Then the only thing taking up the majority of my time will be work. So, I should be able to spend more time planning gaming sessions.

As such, I'm going to start a new campaign. I also think one of my problems with the old game was I was trying to handle too many players. I don't want to deny anyone the chance to game with me, but I would rather turn someone away to allow a better game, then accept an extra person and not be able to give enough attention to everyone.

I had limited the number of players I had in the game to 4, but the group has ended up growing beyond that number. It seems to be working ok, not that it's been complete smooth sailing, but we are still having fun. But isn't that the whole point of gaming?

If you have any questions or comments about the campaign, feel free to email them to me at, jgunter1@tampabay.rr.com.

The Current Players

John Edwards   “Bars, what do you mean there's no bars!?”
In the role of Wol Sog

Date they joined the game: 2002-06-23

John is our token hobby shop guy. His hobby shop sells some gaming stuff too, but you sure can't beat it for the sheer volume of models that are there. If I ever win the lotto, that's where I'm going right after I get my check.

John has the only character from the very start of the campaign. Mike's character would have been the second starting character, but since he left, John now has the oldest character as far as play time is concerned.

John's character is the only hunter who helped find the cure for the blight that was killing the crops in the refuge.

Wol is a straight forward no nonsense kind of guy. But, he's not really a leader. Which is kind of funny as the rest of the group has looked to him to lead the party. Since the blight has been cured the council has decided the group be sent out to find out more about the world.

Scott Hardie   “I apologize. I was only trying to open it.”
In the role of Jurado

Date they joined the game: 2002-10-05

Scott was an English major, so he tends to keep me on my toes when it comes to any kind of creative writing I do.

Scott is playing Jurado, a female Pum, a humanoid puma. Their race was also changed due to the war.

Jurado was banished from her village and had run into John's character before they both ran into the hunter group. She also decided to tag along and has been following Wol as well.

But she is beginning to think he's not much of a leader.

Michael Holder   “No quote yet.”
In the role of Kali

Date they joined the game: 2003-03-15

Michael is one of the two new players to join our group. He and Tom joined Saturday, March 15th.

John Viola   “They won't need the money, they're dead!”
In the role of Treylin

Date they joined the game: 2002-10-05

I don't have a story yet for John as I've got to find out where he went to school and such. But I'll have one really soon.

John's character is a Lupas, which is a humanoid wolf. His race was changed by the war.

He ran across the rest of the first group as they were returning from the city of Restore. Being interested in this group that he had heard so many wonderful stories about, he decided to join up with them.

He's been following Wol's lead ever since.

Edee Viola   “Hmm that looks interesting, I think I'll just take a peek!”
In the role of Imoen

Date they joined the game: 2002-10-05

For some reason, Edee's photo didn't develope on the film, so I'm going to have to take it again. I guess something can be said for having a digital camera. Ah well, I'll try again this weekend.

Edee teaches special education kids. With those skills, she should have no problem handling us!

Edee is playing Iomen, a female hunter from the valley. She is the only other human besides BigJohn in the group.

She had heard of the group who had saved the Refuge and was overjoyed when she was selected to journey with them as they went outside to discover what was around.

We are in the process of getting 3 more players. We have ended up merging our group with the one that did have 8 players, but most of them left, so they are down to 3, which will make the group have 5 total. That makes a nice sized group. Plus, 2 of the other players are GMs, so I'm not going to be the only one running! Yeah!!!

In case you are interested in seeing the players from our old group and campaign, here's the link to that page.
