| many of you may remember "The Portly Pixie" which for 18 years ran live fantasy adventure and campaigns in and around Coventry, England. When we stopped operating - because we just couldn't get the right volunteer crew to maintain our standards - lots of you very kindly took loads of the kit off our hands. At last we can go one stage further. We have pulled all the adventure plots we used together into books running to nearly 800 pages and have decided to publish them in a 'print on demand' format. At the same time we are also making the System we used available in the same format. Both are listed on www.abebooks.co.uk and E-Bay or contact me direct for more details. Unfortunately we cannot offer you the site we used for your own adventures - things have moved on - but we do still have lots of contacts if there's something else you need. Also plan to make available all the campaign plots - Kingship, Succession, Realm, Carnival and Landscape - in the coming year. Watch this space! Sorry it's taken so long but I've only just found this new place to keep in touch!

| Hi Neil - and anyone else, About Kingship not yet. The plots for Succession, Realm and Carnival are just about ready to go to the printers and then it is another slog - 2-3 months I guess - to get all the Kingship stuff into one enormous book or books! We too have an eye to history! Rogo

| Hi all, Just to keep you posted. I've taken the books off E-Bay but you can still order them through AbeBooks(.co.uk) or contact me direct. The next volume - Succession, Realm, Carnival and Bramlet - will be available by the time you want it - I'll post details of cost when I have the proof copies from the printers. That leaves the mamouth Kingship volume that will include all the plots and the Legend - which is the "in time" history of what happen. Unfortunately we ran out of time to keep the Legend up to date but what we have is interesting reading. Watch this space for more details! Cheers! Rogo of Sham

Kingship! I remember Kingship... I played a Half Ogre Blacksmith who retired very rich. I must look into these books!
I wonder where my photos went.... might be time to scan some and post for the memories.

I have a copy of the books which detail all the plots and i must say they are a great resource for any club which runs small linear types games or a campaign. Full to the brim with ideas, suggestions and personal reflective memories make it a really enjoyable read.
If you wanted a system a plot documents which gently weave the overall narrative of the world and its npc characters over a great number of adventures each adventure showing a side an new layer of depth then this is the book for you. Its not 'highbrow' but it does have lots of hidden story lines, clever well thought out problems to resolve and flavours that have be added and edited over the many years that it ran. Its this feel that could only be created with reflection and refinement which makes it something unique.
The equipment that you would need to invest in the system wouldnt need to be that much which is also an attractive aspect
The price of £50 should be put into the context that they are a complete body of work and its four books that make up the listing, id also recommend the system which from my memory has everything you would need to know about the working of the world.
