Trying to play with the template a bit as you can see.

In an EMPIRE mood today. The romance, intrigue and adventure of same. Not the Courts of Chaos...but a more Amberish Empire. Sort of like my idea (not detailed here yet) for Nine Princes in Byzantium. I think its an aftereffect of reading Cetaganda. Space Empire would work too--I also have an urge to pick up Faded Suns, which sounds like a game tailor made for me. (Byzantium meets Space Opera?!).

Perhaps after I recamp in California, I will explain my NPIB idea more fully. I still might yet sometime turn it into an Amber game--heck it could be the con campaign that I've sometimes dreamed of running. That, or the neglected Borders of Eternity idea. Given time and opportunity, I will talk about that, too.

5 days now until California.
