Table of Contents
Welcome to James Kemp's Wiki
This is a collaborative web platform that allows people to edit1) the web pages to provide additional content for some of the stories I have written and the roleplaying games that I am involved in, whether as a player or GM.
There are several namespaces operating slightly different wiki subjects. These are, in no particular order:
- Skyss - Story Background - a fantasy novel I wrote for NaNoWriMo 2016.
- Perfects - background for the near future story and some police roleplaying that I ran in that universe
- Jim Wallman's Universe - a roleplaying by e-mail campaign that I play in, this is an unofficial wiki and none of it is canon unless Jim says it is.
- Interstellar Freelance Unlimited - subset of the Universe pages covering the activities of a mercenary company that we are currently roleplaying every Full Moon.
- Earth Imperium pages. These cover the activities of the Government of the Solar republic (aka Earth Empire) in Jim's Humanity Will Prevail campaign, including the Earth Imperium News Items.
- Free Worlds Alliance - covering the activities of another emerging polity in the Humanity Will Prevail campaign. Mostly contributed by Eric Moroney.
- Universe Background - page collecting the various bits of background info that have come up in various e-mail discussions for the campaigns set in Jim Wallman's Universe.
- Master map of the Universe (6Mb PDF, as at 3212).
- Delta Green - some roleplaying campaigns about horror and conspiracy. The main one was set in Berlin in 1953.
- Free games rules - a collection of free rules for wargames and other sorts of face to face games that I have designed or run.
- Wargames rules - I'm not just a player of games, I also do rules for them from time to time as well as one-off games. A primary outlet for this is through Chestnut Lodge Wargames Group.
- Other free rules - at the moment just those for the 1689 (Orange or Lemon? and Bonnie Dundee, respectively about the debates in the Scots Parliament and then the military campaign of Viscount Dundee during 1689) and The Other Side of the COIN (about what makes people become insurgents). All games that I have have produced for Chestnut Lodge Wargames Group.
- Background for a near future universe where I have written some fiction and also run some roleplaying games in.
Comments and complaints to me at webmaster@full-moon.info please.

Lower Harwood Stories
So far there are two stories set in the fictional British village of Lower Harwood. The first of these was a short story called Rounds which was written for my Open University Creative Writing course. Rounds was also included in my book Themself.
The second follows on directly from Rounds and was written for the NYC Midnight Flash Fiction Challenge 2017. It is called Down the Harbour and had to be written as a romance set in a harbour with a bandage in the story. It seemed reasonable to set it in Lower Harwood given that I only had a few hours notice to write it. The Challenge gives you 48 hours, but I was at cub camp that weekend and it left me only a couple of hours of writing time to get in a 1,000 word story that met the requirements.
Skyss - Story Background
This is a web version of the notebook that has the background to my NaNoWriMo 2016 entry 'Noren the Strong', which is a medium-level fantasy story set in a world of my own creation.
Straven
Straven is a tiny settlement on an island about three or four square miles. Only a little of the island is cultivated, most of it is woodland or rough grazing for the sheep that the community keeps for their wool and milk.
Characters
This is a list of some of the characters that I have created to include in Noren the Strong.
- yngvild - the (unreliable) narrator of the story
- noren - the title character
- lady_helga - Yngvild's mother & Second Sea Lord.
- captain_olaf - Captain of the King's Ship Seagull
- alfarinn - Noren's elusive mother
- alfinna - a sister of Noren, who acts as Alfarinn's mouthpiece
- oddmundr - Yngvild's father, the previous wielder of Jafnadr the Sword
- rojden - Noren's thoroughly disreputable father
