Amber
DRPG
What's a DRPG you ask? Well, it's a Diceless
Role Playing Game. I first got into it back in 1997, and have
played it ever since.
The Amber DRPG is based off the Chronicles
of Amber by Roger Zelazny. They're VERY goo dbooks and I highly
recommend them. And they are a MUST RED if you're going to attempt
to play Amber.
I'm on my 3rd Amber character, we take
periodical breaks (at the end of a campaign) to play something
like D&D 3rd Ed. or Cyberpunk. My husband loves playing Amber,
and has played some of the most memorable characters I know.
Characters we've played:
Myst Barimos: Who has her own
page, albeit VERY outdated. She was last played back in 2001,
but remains my favorite. She was magick, of sorcerous blood and
character. She harnessed the powers of Magick in ways none had
done before, with help from the Jewel of Judgement, which she
kept for a while.
Kaelyan Takmarin: My husband's character,
who took great pleasure in beating the tar out of Myst. He was
the Harbinger
of Destruction, a true Chaosite. He ended up becoming the
Keeper of the Logrus (gods save us all). I never ceased to be
impressed and intimidated by him.
Alanna Sawall: Daughter
of Mandor, this Duchess of Chaos has been given the duty of
helping to raise the Prince of Chaos (Merlin & Gilva's son).
Her specialty lies in assassination and unobtrusive measures to
ensure that Chaos will remain standing. Even if it leaves only
the House Sawall. She works with her older sister, Adira,
to this end.
Zephon Serpentis: My husband's Priest
of the Serpent. Incredibly powerful, but silently menacing.
Noone knows what his true potential is. Noone is sure we WANT
to know. Born into the Church, he seems a Chaosite supremacist,
wishing the rule of the Courts to return to the Church.
I'm not listing our D&D characters because
it's not our focus. Everyone knows D&D, but not everyone knows
Amber DRPG. I'd urge you to try it at least once. We've had some
INCREDIBLE games, epics, that our awesome GMs have put together
:) And we've had the same group (plus or minus a few people) since
2000 or so, which makes it even better.
Well, that, and because the running jooke in our group is taht
i have SUCH bad luck w/ saveing throws, I went through 3 characters
in *1* campaign. Kid you not. One didn't last through 3 gaming
sessions.
