This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Any other GMs here novelise their campaigns?

Another one I should have remembered before, the Malazan Empire series started out as an RPG as well. The crew who were the core of Imperial power were the PCs who took over the Malaz Isles, and from there conquered the nearby continent and built armies and such.

The two authors don't like writing and playing at the same time, they say doing one steals their energy for doing the other. Which is why we still don't have an official RPG for the setting.
Currently running: Tyche\'s Favourites, a historical ACKS campaign set around Massalia in 300BC.

Gayness. I play and write all the time.
