====== JohnB's Games ======

This site is the hub for the games material I have written over the years.  I wrote the first pages of my games site in 2000, and I haven't stopped since. I still have an archive of pre-2000 material on paper  ...

[[Legendarium:start|The Legendarium]] -  songs, stories and legends.

===== Current Games =====

  * [[Skull&Shackles:start|Skull & Shackles]] - my Table Top game - we meet every few weeks.
  * [[BirthdayGame:start| The Birthday Game]] - This table-top game takes place once a year, over the weekend of my wife's birthday, and is my present to her.  Our players arrive on Friday night, and we play through until Sunday lunchtime - as we pretend that we are all young again.
  * [[netherworld:start|Netherworld]] - not one of my worlds, but I run a couple of groups and help out with world design.

===== Consolidated Game World =====

  * [[consolidated:hann_empire:start| The Hann Empire]] - My consolidated game world, which includes elements from every game setting I have developed.
  * [[consolidated:sakar:start|Sakar]] - Al Qadim / Fantasy Arabia / Lankhamar -  in a pseudo North African setting.  My Long Standing 'competition' for Hann.  They have a history of slave raiding, invasion and occupation - But now reduced to a sullen opposition. 
  * [[consolidated:hann_empire:sinan:start|Sinan]] - A mash-up of oriental cultures - that now acts as 'an enemy' in the DraiShon Archipelago region.  Perhaps ironically, set in the far west of my game world.
  * [[consolidated:easttelida:start|East Telida]] - Much less organized, less of a state and more of a 'less civilized' region, with a few small, and independent, states.   
  * -
  * **Adventuring areas**
  * [[consolidated:DraiShon:start| The Drai Shon Archipelago]] -  under development as a Piracy & Colonization game.
  * [[Consolidated:Galinia:Start|Galinia]] - an old game area, revitalized as a NWN persistent world.
  * [[consolidated:finaroka:start|Finaroka]] -  Not, currently, under development.  It has a mainland foothold, ready to serve as a base for an exploration party.
  * [[consolidated:easttelida:start|East Telida]] -  Not, currently, under development, but plenty of wild and barbarous borders, just calling out for adventurers.
  * -
  * **Background Material**
  * [[consolidated:religion:start| Religion]] - The Mythology, Pantheons and Deities of the world.
  * [[consolidated:economy:start|Economy]] - How the economy works - in broad terms.

  * -
  * [[Pathfinder:start | Pathfinder House Rules ]] - The collection of house rules, social settings and house interpretations for games I run. 

===== Characters and Organizations =====

Over the years, I have had a number of 'Favourite' characters, some were part of adventuring families -  either built in association with other players or I finished up playing more than one generation of the family.  Others helped start businesses, companies or organizations.

  * [[characters:start|Character Directory]] - Favourite characters that I play, or have played in the past.
  * [[Families:start|Family Directory]] - Families that my characters have been a part of.
  * [[Organisation:start|Organization Directory]] - PC run organizations that I have been involved with.

===== Older Projects =====

  * [[Traveller:start | Traveller ]]  Classic Traveller -  from the old days  :)
  * [[Game Settings:start | Old Game Settings ]] - RP worlds and settings that have been used to host various games.
  * -
  * {{ :classless_d20_frp_betatest1_.pdf |Classless}} - A project to work a set of rules for a game, based on D&D, that didn't use character classes.  It didn't work out as well as I hoped.  The system worked, BUT it didn't feel like D&D.
  * [[pathfinder:off-the-shelf:standard_buildings:start]] - floor plans for various buildings.  They were built for D&D or Pathfinder games - but they should work for most fantasy worlds.
  * [[http://johnbs-games.wikidot.com/ | My old game site]] - all sorts of games and rules are linked from here.  Much of this work has been tweaked and rewritten as part of my campaign system.
  * [[http://baileymail.net/RP/index.html | Old Stuff]] - This is an even earlier game site!  Much of this work has been tweaked and rewritten as part of my campaign system.


  * Neverwinter Nights - I worked on a few NWN worlds, most of which never quite got off the ground. However, I was a developer on Champions of Vidor, a persistent world with quite a few regular players.  Unfortunately, that world died just before the introduction of NWN2 -  and I never really got into NWN2 in the same way ... 
    *  http://gilar-pw.wikidot.com/ - this was pretty much a solo effort that stayed online for a few months - before  NWN2 was released.
