 ===== Current Games =====
+  * [[netherworld:start|Netherworld]] - Runs on [[https://rpol.net/|RPoL]]  It is not one of my worlds, but I help out with world design and management.
+    *  [[Skull&ShacklesRPOL:start|Skull & Shackles @ RPoL]] - In Netherworld.  Rerunning a game, that I ran tabletop, it is fascinating how much Play By Post style games differ from Table Top games. Possibly the last game I will ever DM :)
+  *** These two have finished, but I keep them here for reference.  Eventually, they will move to the 'Old Games' graveyard  :)**
   * [[Skull&Shackles:start|Skull & Shackles]] - my last Table Top game - now gone into abeyance.
-  * [[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]] - Runs on [[https://rpol.net/|RPoL]]  It is not one of my worlds, but I run a couple of groups and help out with world design.
 ===== Projects =====
+  * Part of my, long term, consolidated world project :)
-  * [[consolidated:finaroka:start|Finaroka]] - It has been started twice - both as a stand-alone projects, been pulled about, and partially reworked.  Now it needs tidying up, sorting out and the documentation sorted out.  TBH, I think it is more administrative, and turning into a base area, more than anything.

-  * [[consolidated:DraiShon:start| The Drai Shon Archipelago]] -  Very Chaotic area, with pretty constant skirmishing and raiding between the locals, that is complicated by freebooters and treasure seekers from three different 'settler' cultures - and none of them like each other.  It will, eventually, be ripe for mayhem, pirating, raiding and full on adventuring with little regard for culture.

-  * [[https://baileymail.net/j-bailey/RolePlay/quad/QUADLite.htm|QUAD]] - A long term idea,  reimagining an old project, that might happen at some point.  Rules for QUick And Dirty roleplaying, which need a lot of work :}  I have three variants  (and this version is very basic) but neither of the others are online.

   * [[consolidated:hann_empire:start| The Hann Empire]] - A disparate trading empire, with three strong nations and their smaller compatriots - spread over thousands of miles.
   * [[consolidated:neighbours:start| Neighbours]] - Smaller states that aren't part of any of the other groupings, but who have trade and familial links with Imperial States, Sakhar or East Telida.  This includes some Dwarf and Elf enclaves.

-  * [[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.  Not developed in detail, but could be a good place to base adventures.

   * [[consolidated:AdventureAreas|Adventuring areas]] - good places to start adventures -  most are a part of documented and mapped regions with access to wilderness and unmapped space -  suitable for 'Big Baddies'.
