Two of my players have been keeping some pages relating to my game:

http://www.darkqueen.org/docs/rpg/ua/

My "chronology" is written after each session to remind people what
happened, but not to tell them everything - I explicitly say they are
responsible for remembering things, not me, and that the "chronology" is a
jog to memory, not a crutch. At times it is well written, mostly its
note-form. There is, however, an atmospheric "Coda" for each one, which
has served to inspire the players a bit. Kinda fun!

There are also pages for two of the characters:

Lindsay has some sort of telepathy thing happening. Its what the player
wanted, and I'm happy to work with it, as it was clearly more of a problem
than a super-power to the character. Some of the most interesting stuff
for her is in the gamemaster only section of the site, including the
session we talked through online. Its not like face-to-face roleplaying,
but it was an intense situation for the character which I could not have
done justice to if we'd tried doing it with all the other players there.
She also has a lot of gm character notes and stuff. Cool.

Cas is the other character, and her player is more overboard nuts (the two
of them are pretty nuts! but in a good way). The Cas pages have background
and stuff, and a character sheet and all, but the piece-de-resistance is
the diary section. Cas writes a diary for each session which tells it from
her (street tough) point of view. I love these things, and have had a lot
of fun with them already. Cas is losely based on Faith from the Buffy
shows, and has a lot of angst and stuff in her background, but not as much
obviously going on in the game.


I dream of having the time to put together my own pages for the game, and
getting the other players to write things up for their characters. I have
a lot of things going on in "Aurora" (my alternate-universe Chicago), and
while my style of game is not for everyone, I know I have got a lot out of
every such site I have seen, and I'd love to do the same for someone
else... But there is never enough time! :)

If anyone takes the time to read any of this stuff, feedback is welcome!
:)

Take care,

Liam
