vielleries History to be a little connection with the statement of intent here, here is a small selection of old straight out of the closet.
There have quite a few years, I briefly ran a fanzine (first paper, then e-zine) called "
Clerc Obscur . It was mainly the role play, although in its web version, it has shifted a bit more broadly by treating film and TV series. I had the opportunity to publish several scenarios for the games I played the most at the time. Here they are, each with a small comment :
"In the clutches of the master of crime" - First scenario
Castle Falkenstein, the RPG-steampunk fairytale for which I had a huge crush. This scenario results from a mixture of envy, wicked Machiavellian way between Moriarty and gloomy mood of Whitechapel.
"Conspiracy Romuldie" - Still for Castle Falkenstein
, it follows the first and takes the characters into a dangerous journey into the heart of the Balkan countries. There must be a concern for design: it has messed up in large widths each time I did play!
"Full Steam Ahead!" - Exploiting the atmosphere of Paris at the Jules Verne, this third adventure for
Falkenstein proposes to participate in a race a train to the revolutionary design. If I have great sympathy for this story, we must recognize that his finishing is poor.
"Judge Bishop" - For
Deadlands: my darling, the scenario that I have the most fun to write and play (five or six times). A small town, mobsters, a convoy of Indian, an itinerant judge disturbing ... No part steampunk, however, this element being IMHO unattractive in Deadlands.
"Workin 'on the railroad" - Second scenario for Deadlands
, I found many months tied up as the previous but it is a good memory of game players have enjoyed a star pinned to their lapels to sheriff before going to "pacify" the city of miners.
"Death of a rotten" - An investigation
Berlin XVIII that will not make the characters of popular players among their fellow cops. I love this scenario, several times played in real time, including agreement to a result quite effective. It must be able to adapt without too much trouble to PSC.
"Storm of the possible" - For
Guild, the quest for origins, a scenario camera in a remote fortress. I have been (largely) reworked the basic idea into a screenplay by comic book artist is waiting for her (huh, Pierrick?:)
"Here lived Death" - If there is one game that fascinated me reading, but on which I had the greatest difficulty in carrying it
Kult. And I was damn frustrated! Well, this scenario is the same: I find it contains good ideas, but I find their lousy assembly, hardly playable. And I can not really pinpoint what's wrong ...
