...who we are
The rest of the time my activities include freelance web design, learning qi gong (Chinese movement for health), painfully slow progress on the small harp, Chinese language evening class, an interest in environment and sustainable development, and worrying about money. ...getting in touchTo discuss the games, get support and give feedback your best bet is the Silver Branch Yahoo group - an email list (though you can access it on the web instead if you prefer) frequented by other folks who are interested in the SB games and gaming in general. To contact me directly, email info@silverbranch.co.uk.
...roleplaying gamesA role-playing game (RPG) is basically a fun way for a group of people to sit round a table and play “let’s pretend” using a particular set of rules and background/setting/game world. The players (real people) each have a character (an imaginary person), with information about how good that character is at doing various things. The character is in a setting detailed by the Game Master (GM), who describes events to the player. The player says what the character does, and the GM says what happens as a result. This often involves rolling one or more dice (the singular is “die”), based on information about the character, to see whether the action succeeded. As the characters interact with each other and their setting a story is woven in which the players participate through their characters.
...RPG designIf you're new to the field and interested, browse the forums at RPGnet and think about buying RPGNow's ePublisher Guide. If you're a bit further along you might be interested in the design links page I've set up. Basically I realised I'd been coming across all sorts of handy resources as I gradually learn more about RPG publishing, and wanted to record them somewhere.

Actually
the "we" is just me, Tim Gray. I live
in Nottingham, UK. I've been into roleplaying games
with varying degrees of seriousness since at least
1985, and have played all kinds of things.
