- | Miranda is a game world that I started at [[http://www.purdue.edu/|Purdue University]] in January 1991 and ran continuously for two years when I took a hiatus after moving to [[wp>Cincinnati]]. Eventually I restarted the world with a new gaming group and ran continuously until 1998 when I began to interleave my fantasy stories with other games. However, I kept this game world alive because of the fantastic stories that have taken place here. | + | This game started as one-shot games thrown together when a group of friends from [[wp>Purdue University]] got together once or twice a year. It was a rather silly set of games with the only requirement was that every PC must be of elven blood and Charisma must be one of your top 3 attributes. The first game was run under the [[wp>Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons 3.5]] rulebook, but was transitioned to the [[wp>Pathfinder Roleplaying Game]] when it came out. |

+ | In 2011 we got together for a winter gaming session and instead of just putting down another serialized adventure it was decided to provide a bit more depth. For this effort we used the world-building functionality of [[http://boardgamegeek.com/rpg/9789/microscope|Microscope]] cards. We started with the premise of the world that had already been created, then used the cards to delve into the history of a [[Sieriensal]] and elven city and its surrounding environs. | ||
- | I originally ran the game under [[http://herogames.com|HERO 4th Edition]] from 1991 until 1998. At that time I wanted to run more of a low fantasy game so I dabbled in HARN, Fuzion, and even my heavily modified version of Chivalry and Sorcery - in the end none of these satisfied me and so in 2011 I decided to move in a different direction and include a more story-telling system called FATE. I am currently using a slightly modified version of Legends of Anglerre and am very happy with the outcome so far. | ||
