That "evocative" post referred to actual role-playing games I have written, gamemastered or played in, set in the higher circles of the Lunar Empire. I thought it worthwhile to try "grounding" the sometimes farcically disconnected Imperial Politics debate: we have been successfully running games including our Lunar concepts for many years, now, whereas I get the impression the Martin/Greg faction have certainly been juggling plenty of new ideas around, but may not have actually tried many of them out in play. (Please correct me if I'm wrong in this, Martin). This is why I *know* our stuff is fun and useable.
I agree you could probably get great poems or stories out of many of these experiences. But they were the highlights of recent years' gaming sessions. I'd rather publish the game material for others to use, than turn it into fiction. My website already has the "Life of Moonson" characters, "Tarsh War" product and ordering info, and "Hunt for Red Storm Season" background materials. I hope readers are enjoying these.
FYI, references (by paragraph) in the original post were to the following games:
Hunt for Red Storm Season HRSS HRSS Life of Moonson HRSS & Tarsh War LoM & How the West was One LoM, Moonbroth Oasis, Revolt in the Redlands & HtWwO
Future plans:
Citizens ("The Insula")
Revolt in the Redlands & Retreat from the Redlands
The Moonbroth Murders
The Secret History of Sun County: 1625 ("Ambassador Belvani" climax)
