-====== Miranda ======
+====== Flatrock ======
-Miranda is a game world that I started at [[http://www.purdue.edu/|Purdue University]] in January 1991 and ran continuously for two years when I took a hiatus after moving to [[wp>Cincinnati]]. Eventually I restarted the world with a new gaming group and ran continuously until 1998 when I began to interleave my fantasy stories with other games. However, I kept this game world alive because of the fantastic stories that have taken place here.
+Flatrock is a traditional spagetti western game set during the [[wp>wild west]]. Specifically the game is set in a made up town in the [[wp>Arizona Territory]] around the early 1880s. The game was started under the [[wp>Fuzion RPG]] system using a hit location chart modeled on that used in the Babylon5 RPG. The game started up with a strange set of characters: A Chinese girl disguised as a boy, a Native Indian who preferred the White Settlers, an eastern lady who fancied herself a cowboy and disguised herself as such, and an eastern dandy from a defunt arms manufacturer peddling the last of his wares. They all descended upon Flatrock, which had just got its railroad connecting it to two nearby towns.
-I originally ran the game under [[http://herogames.com|HERO 4th Edition]] from 1991 until 1998. At that time I wanted to run more of a low fantasy game so I dabbled in HARN, Fuzion, and even my heavily modified version of Chivalry and Sorcery - in the end none of these satisfied me and so in 2011 I decided to move in a different direction and include a more story-telling system called FATE. I am currently using a slightly modified version of Legends of Anglerre and am very happy with the outcome so far.
+It was a strange time in a very unique pocket of the American West.
