    Character Stories

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-348" No comments Posted in: Characters

    Share This: While offering up a particular group of character stories I suggested that the reader begin with a certain character. I don’t think the reader got through the entire background story before having a few comments for me. I have never claimed to be female nor have I ever claimed to have any special […]

    Amelia: Cross Country

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-329" No comments Posted in: Characters, Fiction

    Share This: It took me about ten seconds to pack whatever I thought I needed, which is to say the clothes on my back, my armor and a restock on energy bars and lollipops. Then, I was out of there. I should have left the moment Campbells took a swing at me and I REALLY […]

    Amelia

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-310" No comments Posted in: Campaign Stuff, Characters

    I’m having a hard time letting this go … second time in my life I’ve found myself in this situation … the first resulted in the Legacy. Anyway, what’s going on? Well, I guess it started with a request. Seems Raven’s Playground had been orphaned and as I have more space than I need over […]

    Everith

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-277" No comments Posted in: Characters

    Share This: My last post spoke of how one thing lead to another and Everith came into my cross hairs. I’ve been working on her over in HERO Designer, re-reading her background according to Lauren, then the story Lauren wrote about her, and finally a little research on angels via Wikipedia. I realized I saw […]

    Lothlorien Rebuild

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-268" No comments Posted in: Campaign Stuff, Characters, Gamers

    Share This: While gaming face to face, whether in one of the two White Heron hobby shops or at my house, I have enjoyed the acquaintance of a great number of RPG players, from the novice to the genius. The novice, those that treated playing an RPG like a pickup game in baseball, usually didn’t […]

    Seer

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-263" No comments Posted in: Campaign Stuff, Characters, Fiction

    Share This: I’ve been doing RPGs for a few years now … 39 years … and I have been married just a touch longer, almost 41. In all those years, there has been no interest whatsoever in my gaming, be it wargames, RPGs, or computer games. And in that 39 years of gaming, I have […]

    The Legacy Updates

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-257" No comments Posted in: Campaign Stuff, Characters

    Share This: Well, a number of things have been on my agenda the last couple of weeks related to the site. Upon closer inspection I discovered a few errors in the Legacy team that started out pretty small and just grew. It was mostly minor things, like inconsistencies in Disadvantages but as I worked my […]

    Pisces

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-232" No comments Posted in: Characters

    Share This: Okay, still working on Pisces and I just said ‘fuck it’ to the points. I want to put so much into her it is just getting insane. So, I’m not going to worry about the points, let her be 1200, Ghost Archer is, and she’s a lot older then he is. Decided to […]

    Overhauling more Zodiac

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-217" No comments Posted in: Campaign Stuff, Characters, Philosophy

    Share This: Amazing how I can get sidetracked. I started with Cody’s D&D to Fantasy Hero conversion. Made up a web page for it, got it added into my index, the next thing I know I’m off on Scorpio. See, Scorpio doesn’t have a background yet and I wanted to give her one. That starts […]

    Share This: When I was younger, before I even heard of RPGs, I was interested in Astrology. Not because I believed in it or anything but just because it was interesting how many times people would actually match the characteristics of their Zodiac sign. Enter Champions and what was to become my first personally created […]

    S.A.A.T.

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-210" No comments Posted in: Campaign Stuff, Characters

    Share This: Today’s mission? Rebuild S.A.A.T. I know, who the fuck is S.A.A.T. right? Well, decades ago when I was first getting started GMing for Champions, there were all these villain groups around. Deathstroke, Eurostar, Terror Inc. … well, those were sorta old hat by that time so I assembled my own group. I gathered […]

    Share This: So, here I am changing the look of the Wild Hunt … and while I am at it, cleaning up a few characters … okay, kidding. I’m FIXING a few … okay, a bunch … of characters. I’ve been working on the twenty-five pages of Genocide today. Rebuilt the Index page, split it […]

    Cosmetics and Thoughts

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-196" No comments Posted in: Characters, Gamers, General Thoughts

    Share This: My website will be 20 years old at the end of next year. Quite an accomplishment if you ask me. It began as a free website in the old Geocities that only included a dozen pages or so. As my gaming moved from face to face stuff at the White Heron and then […]

    A Legacy Character

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-181" No comments Posted in: Characters, General Thoughts

    Share This: Eons ago, before the Enlightenment, i.e. before Champions, I dabbled with AD&D. Okay, it is like this … I dropped by the Dragon Cave up on North Military Hwy. in Norfolk in August of 1979. Objective? War games. That day I made two purchases that started me on two very different paths. The […]

    Writing and Gaming Philosophy

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-97" No comments Posted in: Campaign Stuff, Characters, Philosophy

    Share This: If you think about it, they are pretty much the same thing.  What you write can be used in gaming and vise versa.   This, then, is going to be a character post.  What goes into making a character for me.  In fact, I think I’ll actually build one while I am writing this.  […]

    Character Interactions and How to Keep Them Consistent

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-164" No comments Posted in: Characters, Philosophy

    Share This: One of the problems I have writing is getting caught up in a character … which leads to more characters … which leads to … well, interaction. After a couple of dozen characer ideas hit the fan, say Legacy and the Minuteman teams, interactions can get confusing. Did Kena like Slater? Who does […]

    Wren’s Diary II

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-135" No comments Posted in: Characters, Fiction

    Share This: The only thing I regretted about my foray into automobile theft was that it cut short my education in Japanese. I resolved, however, to continue that on my own regardless of courses offered at any of my next schools. To this end I determine that two purchases would be necessary. To this point […]

    Updates

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-93" No comments Posted in: Campaign Stuff, Characters

    Share This: My writing is scattered a lot like my thoughts.  A little here, a little there, you know.  I noticed a few, read ‘tons’ of, inconsistencies in the kids over in Legacy.  Somehow, in my mind, I thought I had sorted out all my continuity problems only to find out I hadn’t.  Turns out […]

    Someone Else’s Story: Wren Diary I

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-50" No comments Posted in: Characters, Fiction

    Share This: Write 500 words about a character who is not the main protagonist. The first time I broke the law was several months after I discovered I was no longer a normal girl.  The revelation of my abilities, while they did not directly contribute to my felonious actions, they did facilitate.   Life in […]

    Jewelry

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-67" No comments Posted in: Characters, Fiction

    Share This: 500 Words: Jewelry: Write about a piece of jewelry. Who does it belong to?   How do you capture the fact no two snowflakes are the say?  Magic, that’s why I was sitting in a tavern looking across a table at a mage. “A snowflake … that changes every few seconds?” She wasn’t […]

    Trying to Find My Muse

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-60" No comments Posted in: Characters, General Thoughts

    Share This: I never thought I’d say something like this but the sucky part of being retired is that you have all this free time and no need to daydream to escape the mundane shit going on at work.  When I was working, doing something mindless, like painting an entire 120 foot crane, I had […]

    Getting Down Into the Slime

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-58" No comments Posted in: Characters, General Thoughts

    I have always been able to get into the head of my heroes but now I find I am getting into the heads of villains.  I think it started with Ronnie ‘Leo’ King.  To me she has always been a fascinating character.  Having lived my early life with a Leo, my father, I had more […]

    Ghost Archer

    Written by Ghost Archer. rev="post-22" No comments Posted in: Characters

    Share This: Ghost Archer came to be after my very first encounter with Champions in the form of the Violet Avenger.  On a hobby shop hopping trip through the Tidewater Area I stumble upon a shop that allowed in-store gaming, a new concept to me and to many in 1982.   I’m a wargamer at […]
