Brian Green's Role Playing Games page

Hi! You have found my page dedicated to RPGs. I hope you truly enjoy these pages, and find at least some of the information useful. As always, I welcome feedback as long as it is constructive.

Why I have constructed these pages

One day, I was looking at various pages on the Web when I stumbled upon some pages that claimed to be a "style guide" for WWW pages. Although I thought most of it was useless and humorless, one aspect did strike me: that I should really and truly add something of myself to my WWW pages, not just the obligatory self-description, resume, and list of links.

I decided that I should do something I've been meaning to do for quite a while, share my ideas and thoughts about Role Playing Games (also known as RPGs), specifically how I organize and run my own games. Sure, this is hardly unique or earth-shattering, but I thought it would be interesting, none-the-less.

What I think of RPGs

First, a bit on what I think of RPGs. I have been always a person with an almost boundless imagination. Fantasy books set my creativity on fire, and I was always the type to daydream. When I was introduced to role-playing, I thought it was heaven. It was an organized, structured way to play "let's pretend". It allowed for rules to resolve conflict, and gave me a chance to do something I loved but never followed up on; it gave me the chance to act!

I think RPGs are a wonderful recreation. RPGs have helped me develope my social skills and have given me much of the communiacation and leadership skills I have today. It also keeps my creativity alive in a world that is often so dreary as to stifle people.

What I have and will include here

I want to include at a few things in these pages. I hope all of them are of some use to other RPGers (and GMs) out there.

The history and events of my current AD&D game.
Some AD&D House Rules I like.
Some Game Mastering hints from my personal experience.
Some of the feedback from viewers of this page. (are there any?)

Also, check out my pages about Demonscape MUD. It's a developing on-line RPG that I'm developing with some friends. There's quite a bit of discussion about game design on that page, if you are interested.

Take a look at my special note about the use of the information on these pages. I'm a pretty reasonable guy and I think these are pretty reasonable guidelines. Please, also note that various terms used in these pages, including but not limited to AD&D and Birthright are owned by TSR, Inc, and the use of these names in these pages are not a challenge of ownership.

Well, that's all for now. I'll flesh these pages out as I can. Visit often as I'll be updating these sections as often as possible.
