The book contained weapons, equipment and power armor, but no information on the cities of the NGR. It…

Nikolas Dimiye

This is a character I made for a PBP game some time ago that I had to drop out of due to time constraints. The background is a bit tailored to that game, but he's an interesting character nonetheless. He was last seen in a wilderness assault against a large group of brodkil…

The House of the Leopard

The House of the Leopard has always produced the largest number of duelists. Why this is, is unknown, but it is most likely due to the exceptional physical prowess present in all members of the House (minimum PP of 22). This house began nearly 10,000 years ago, when the Amaki were still tribal in…
