+ | Before coming to Cincinnati I had never played the [[wp>Cyberpunk 2020]] and in fact had not really read any of the books of that [[wp>Cyberpunk|genre]]. Aside from suffering from terrible game balance and editing, the setting was interesting and the rules system was pretty simple. Well eventually I had to try my hand at running a game, but I did not want to mess up any existing timelines that had been put in place before, so I moved by game to the [[wp>Caribbean]], [[wp>Mexico]], [[wp>Central America]], and [[wp>South America]]. This was very fertile ground that let me work less with the machine and more of the inhuman nature of this modern world. | ||

+ | Of course, since it was not meant to be completely depressing the players worked on an "Action Team" for Miltech providing service, support, extraction, infiltration, and other benefits for those that could pay. It was a very interesting run and the campaign has been put on the back bench to be used in one-shots when we have some spare time. | ||
- | Miranda is a game world that I started at [[http://www.purdue.edu/|Purdue University]] in January 1991 and ran continuously for two years when I took a hiatus after moving to [[wp>Cincinnati]]. Eventually I restarted the world with a new gaming group and ran continuously until 1998 when I began to interleave my fantasy stories with other games. However, I kept this game world alive because of the fantastic stories that have taken place here. | ||
- | I originally ran the game under [[http://herogames.com|HERO 4th Edition]] from 1991 until 1998. At that time I wanted to run more of a low fantasy game so I dabbled in HARN, Fuzion, and even my heavily modified version of Chivalry and Sorcery - in the end none of these satisfied me and so in 2011 I decided to move in a different direction and include a more story-telling system called FATE. I am currently using a slightly modified version of Legends of Anglerre and am very happy with the outcome so far. | ||
