The Blue Crescent

An RPG I'm running on Lunarnet, based on the Playstation game "Star Ocean: The Second Story," also known as the SO2RPG. The game runs weekly (usually), and has been going for awhile now.

The cast is pretty much set, so I can't accept any new members, but you're free to come look around the page, or perhaps sit in and watch for a session on IRC. ^_^

   

Every year, if possible, I go to an anime convention called "Sakura Con" up near Seattle, and every time so far I've worn costume of a different anime character and taken pictures of other cosplayers.  For those of you who don't know, cosplay is a word used in Japan that is derived from English; an abbreviation for "Costume Play."  This page has dozens of photos of people who have showed up to Sakura Con in costumes of different characters, plus details about my own costumes.

By the way, "Zipo" is one of my older RP characters; I had intended to make her the host or "mascot" of the page eventually, but never got around to it. I apologize for not having kept up with this page through the past two cons...for some reason, the time when the con rolls around is the only time of the year when I ever get snap-happy, and yet I'm not nearly as zealous about getting my photos scanned and put up on the webpage. :P

Ah, well. Sakura Con is big enough now that almost every costume finds its way onto the net somewhere. I'll put together a "Scrapbook" of past Sakura Cons someday. ^_^ I'll also upload the scans I did get completed when I get around to it; it'll just be an empty directory, but you'll still be able to see more photos.

Do you have an unusual attraction to music from video game RPGs? If so, visit my collection of midi and audio files from console RPGs such as Alundra, Suikoden, and Star Ocean: The Second Story.  Not updated often, but I keep all the midis I've sequenced myself here.

This is an online role-playing game that I tried to get going awhile ago with some friends from an old webchat room called Rivendell. We held our sessions in a personal room in Ravensdale, the name of the freeform RP world on that webchat server.

The game was intended to be similar to Chrono Trigger, though not based on it directly. I was inspired to try it after seeing the page for Lucca's CTRPG, which was completed and over with by the time I had even heard of it. Runic Flux essentially died out due to lack of attendance.  I've since realized that the reason it didn't work was because I was trying to run it IRC-style, like Lucca, which didn't work for Ravensdale role-players, who are used to an unstructured drop-in setting.

Anyway, the Runic Flux page, nevertheless, was the recipient of most of my creative energies and a large amount of effort at the time.  I had a lot of fun doing it... In fact, the page itself was probably better than the game. :P I'm still proud of the site, which is why I won't be taking it down.  I'm sorry that the RPG itself never lived up to the visual appeal of its homepage, but in the process I managed to hone my page-design skills, as well as learn a few valuable lessons about GMing.

Runic Flux was also the breeding grounds for a number of my character concepts, a few of which pop up elsewhere now and then. Most noteworthy are Radien, who is essentially my online avatar now, and Mikari Thalsford, whom I've adjusted slightly to be PCed in GrandiaRPG, and has turned out to be a very fun (although difficult) character to play.

Also, if you are interested in Ravensdale, it is located at chat.keltik.net.  It is one of the only remaining browser-based chat rooms on the net that supports user-made character images AND can be used without any special plugins.  Not to mention, the atmosphere is markedly freeform, romantic, and literary, which certainly makes it worthy of note, even if story quality isn't always guaranteed. :P

The Big-Eyed People Anime Character Archive... dedicated to my parents, who were always asking "Who are all those big-eyed people?..." back when I was in high school. This page is the place I use for the more detailed listings of my older anime role-playing characters, primarily from freeform RPing in Ravensdale. Most of the characters are mine, but a few are anime characters that were played by some of my old Ravensdale friends.

This is my sister Ariana's page, which isn't actually on RPGcafe, but I think she deserves a link nonetheless. Come read about the Dreamworld Saga, her series of original fantasy fiction writings which also became a role-playing storyline, with the involvement of her friends from Rivendell. It may also someday find a place on the Lunarnet IRC network. ^_^
