Lunar: Illusions of Grandeur

Cold hearted orb, that rules the night...
Removes the colors from our sight...
Red is grey, and yellow white...
But we decide which is right...
And which is an illusion...

-- Excerpt from "Late Lament"

(Thanks Rasis!)

Welcome to the homepage of the 16th Lunar IRCRPG, Illusions of Grandeur -- now in it's second run! Here you can find a wealth of knowledge about the game, ranging from bios of player and non-player characters alike, logs of our sessions, info on the lands of IoG 2's Blue Star, or even the bygone world of IoG 1. Please don't hesitate to email your questions about the game, as well as any suggestions or comments for this page. Contributions, as always, are greatly welcomed! :)

News and Updates!

September 3rd, 2007
Cheers for all the crew... IoG2 has now hit it's 50th session! Logs are up to date for the most part, and I've enabled you to browse the indexes directly if you don't like the (admitantly pretty long!) drop-down selections. Also a lot of new character art was added.

Thankfully there is no deployment ahead for me (whew!) so I can finish the game on schedule. The current projected end date is looking to be April of '08 somewhere, with around 80 sessions of fun total. My biggest game yet!

The former PC Angharad has been moved to the NPCs section. Dr. Webbly has also been merged to the top of the Elementalors page because he bribed me with moon chocolate. ;)

Special Thanks:

- To Lucca, for the awesome space and server love at RPGCafe.Net. Give her a hug, you know you want to!
- To great original Lunar IRCRPG GM Hahn, whose work inspired me to turn a dinky sheet of looseleaf into something the world can enjoy.
- To GM Trueblue, for all his number-cruching hard work to keep Middleground gaming only getting better with age, through 3 system incarnations. SFT forever!
- To GM Gayo, who's amazing Wild Arms RPG math formed the basis & inspiration for my overhaul of Middleground mechanics. And of course a big shout out to Rasis/Etir for doing what he does best... breaking IRCRPG game systems for fun & profit for over a decade.
- To the cast of IoG 1, without your help my first game would not have been the great success it was! Ready for round 2?
- Last but not least to Game Arts & Working Designs (now defunct, Goddess bless their souls), for creating and translating the Lunar series of games that anime-style RPGs today are still measured by. I guess I lost the whole part-3-before-I-go-bald bet though... ^^;
