I just graduated (or took part in the days long ceremonies) and yesterday, the night drive home was so stormy and long I expected a fight for the Fairy Flag at the end of it  ;)  I pray that I now have enough free time to take the feedback I have been given and make something of it. Thank you for the advice!

I do like reading a good story, and the combination of the 'old' and 'new' is a delight. Please, MORE!

Ghosts of the Past Epilogue Stories / Re: Somewhere in Gwynedd

But when you think of all the innocent people including children he had burned as suspected Deryni, you can hardly consider him a saint, more like a devil in saint's clothing

I am not turning to the dark side!!

However, unlike Hubert who I think was straightforwardly evil, there are things that can be said from Loris's PoV.

He had been conditioned from earliest youth to believe that Deryni and their magic were manifestations of the devil; he would have believed that the devil could masquerade as an angel of light, so kindly or apparently "good" Deryni were simply traps to fool the unwary. He watches his King, Brion, be tricked into using unholy magic to defeat the Marluk,  an action which leaves him in thrall to the evil influence of Alaric Morgan. 

When Brion dies, thanks to the godly Queen Jehana, there seems a chance to rescue the young King Kelson from evil counsel, but this fails at the last minute  and the travesty of a coronation reveals the extent to which the kingdom has been corrupted. 

Fighting courageously on, despite the apparent victory of evil, and being willing to use what tools God gives into his hands, Loris is at last summarily executed, a martyr on behalf of defenceless humanity.

This I'm sure is the story Loris told himself.

Forgotten Shadows / Re: Forgotten Shadows Q&A

"Forgotten Shadows" will use the same game system that was used for "Ghosts of the Past". The Tiny Dungeon system (Tiny d6). With of course modifications from the Deryni point of view.

There will be an open call for players in a separate posting. Here again we will be looking for 3 to 5 players. Other members of the community maybe invited to play NPC's from time to time.

This game will be set only 4 years after the events of the previous campain of "Ghosts of the Past".

The players who played in GotP are welcome to play at any time as their original characters. However if they wish to be among the players in FS then they will have to create new characters specifically for that campaign. The GotP characters are very busy with their own lives now but have the potential to be involved on the sidelines.

Or maybe an aging Abbess.  No wait, that might border on blasphemy.  ;D

Bynw so enjoys messing with our minds. We will steer the straight course!  (Well OK, we may deviate just a tad from time to time....)

If we do play a new game/story, I will not be playing Wash or a Morgan, but I might play a wee lass from the borderlands.
