Hey Mark here.

Ever since I started playing role playing games in 1978, I've wanted to create my own game. So I started working on it in 1979 and fifteen years later it was done. My friends loved the game, and talked me into publishing it

The problem I found with most rpg's was that there was a lack of STORYTELLING. Combat took all night, and it could sometimes last for hours. So, if we wanted to experience a story, we changed the game we played. We could either choose a "combat" oriented game, or we could choose a "role playing" oriented game.

I didn't really have this problem, however, since combat in my own game, Fantasy Imperium is fast! It takes only 20 minutes to run a fight (or faster!), because when you get hit with a sword, you die!

Story requires a plot, and a plot happens only when you can go through several scenes. So I created a SCENE OUTLINE WORKSHEET, which allowed me to TELL A STORY, through a list of scripted scenes.

This system works fine with tempramental gamers, who always seem to want to go in a different direction, because when they do so, YOU CAN SIMPLY WRITE A NEW SCENE OUTLINE and insert it into your story!

On this page, you'll find a list of all my products. For now, until I get around to printing more books, everything is FREE when you subscribe to my newsletter.

You've got nothing to lose, and a life filled with fantastic stories.

So what are you waiting for?
