Old ideas resurface...

There is a little tickle at the back of my mind suggesting that I should expand on the characters that I wrote sheets for players of the NWO Rome event all those many, many moons ago.

A few months back, I wrote a very short story based upon the Map-Maker. Somewhere in the back of my head, is the feeling that I should like to do something similar with the Assassin of Narbonne, though quite what as of yet…

The Assassin was a character conception I was particularly proud of, and one I intended to have available for the final game of the NWO cycle, but the arse nugget who phys-repped him ensured that I killed the Assassin off in downtime rather than have him played a second time like a festering pile of spineless jelly.

That said, it is now something like seven years – perhaps longer, I shall have to trawl through elderly LJ entries for be absolutely sure – since we wrote Rome and I think I can face revisiting the character and thinking up a story to fit him. Before now it would have taken wild horses¹ to drag it from me, but now..?

They were an interesting bunch, the denizens of il Duomo. There may yet be life in them yet, though not for players.



¹Perhaps only one, certainly no more than four of my friends will get that reference…

Just remember. It's not that you're invited. It's that you're invited back.

I'd like to read it, if you do write it.

Players do terrible things to your beautiful constructs. Sometimes, just sometimes, they do beautiful things though - I am not sure I did any of the marvellous briefs I received justice, but I read my briefs hard and tried. I think some people did not really read their brief at all :)
