The Tuesday/Friday Night FuRPiG Game
Part 2: The further Adventures
The Interregnum
The Pantope campaigns took a breather for about two years while Tim Lasko ran a Space 1889 game. When we resumed, a moderate amount of time had passed for the characters. Additionally, several of them had been showing up in a MUCK called "The Dreamtime" run inside Digital Equipment Corporation for a a couple of years. The events that happened there, whether they were played out before or during the time when we were run Space 1889 are all taken to have happened during this period.At present, only Earl has written up what happened to his character during this period. I hope others will follow suit.
"New Blood" Logs
I've tenatively named this era in the logs after "The New Blood", the extended family of self-made elves many of whom live in or around Vinyagarond (![[Vinyagarond]](info/VinyagaRond.gif){kind=small}
from the Quenya: vinya = new, agar = blood, rond = hall with arched roof) in Old Faerie. There is considerable overlap between this group and the Jack Patrol, Dancer's crew, and the Cross Time Office. Their first adventure started at Vinyagarond, and quickly took them to New Europa. Please feel free to come up with a more euphoneus name for the logs of this era.
The world of "New Europa" is the setting of the Fantasy RPG,"Castle Falkenstein", and is yet another Victorian F&SF setting. Nineteenth Century F&SF seems to be one of the venues that we return to regularly. We have been to the South Pacific in 1872 with Nate & Hayes, to the London of
Sherrinford and Ashleigh Holmes, and now New Europa. Also, all three campaigns that we have run while the Pantope/Jack campaigns have been on hiatus, have been Victorian (two Space: 1889 campaigns run by Earl and Tim and a Lost Worlds campaign run by me).
- New Europa, the World of Castle Falkenstein
- The Chaos Marches
- The Voyages of the Nones
- Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
- Destine
- Mother Goose Chase
- Ancient Oz
- Varkard
- The Adventures of the Munch
- Lanthil and Beyond
As the Lanthil adventures drew to a close, several players said that after 20+ years of continuous gaming, it might be fun to have a party of low level twits, er that is eager young adventurers. On top of this, Earl's life in what some people laughingly refer to as "the real world" became rather hectic, and so at this point the logs shift to a group of young adventurers who gather first in Lanthil, and then out at the secret New Dawn Base, birthplace of the Twilight Defense Force...
