Hey Eduardo, It sounds to me as if you might be overplotting, which can itself lead to burnout. Do you plan in advance what will happen in a given game? If...
Eduardo What Max says is pretty much what I was going to say. When you look at published scenarios, with a very few exceptions, none of them are particularly...
For those of us in the UK with access to Freeview or other Digital Telly, we are in a small Golden Age. On BBC there is Rome, which so far has been a cracking...

Hi No, never heard about that. What is the genre? Adventures or war- stories? The most similar thing I can think is some kind of Hussar films, or "The...
Stephen I hate to correct you, but a few minor points. The primary members of the 95th Rifles (The royal Green-Jackets/the regiment Sharpe is with) were Ex-pat...
I've only seen the Sharpe's stories that Masterpiece Theatre ran - I understand there are several more that they decided not to run. I can borrow the books...

Upon re-reading from what you said, I see you are correct, Stephen, I apologize for misunderstanding you. Actually if you read Cornwell's Starbuck trilogy,...

Hi Past Sunday I ran I game. I played RQ age of broze, continuing with my usual wandering-middle-east characters. I worked out a very simple plot in about ten...
No guarantees there. I regularly have opening sessions of a game scenario, where no combat is involved (or maybe one small one at the end if things go fast)...
The idea is play an scenario in one hour of game play. I ... Or maybe play a combat of one hour :) Yes, combat usually slows down RQ games over all if using...
Hello Inspired to run games again I've decided to run some scenarios in a new historical setting for our group of players: Macedonia. Although I wanted to set...
