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
- Theocracy of Daprav - A D&D campaign that I ran with Glasgow University Games Society around 2002-3.
- 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.

Retirement Presentation
Admiral Hamill returned to Earth for his last day of service and was greeted by the First Minister, who was a Squadron Commander at the Naval Academy when Admiral Hamill was training in 3160. After a short ceremony where Sir Richard formally exchanged his flag for a retired Admiral's pennant he was presented with a model of the Battleship Guevera which was his last command before becoming a Rear Admiral.
Sir Richard is looking forward to spending some time writing a military history of the exterminator war based on his own experience of being First Deputy to the First Space Lord. He will also be a guest lecturer at the Naval Academies and the High Command and Staff College.

Distinguishing Features
Religion
Old Catholic (an obscure sect of the Universal Church)
Career History
Miller is a member of a local Packhard party, the Conservative Party of Packhard. Miller is known for an aggressive foreign policy stance. He also has a reputation as a reformer, and deplores the many scandals that he claims Esteeler politics is riddled with. He has criticized Potato's foreign policy as too closely aligned with the Republic of New Venus. He voted against removing the three term limit, arguing that repealing it was a blatant power grab by Potato. He also opposes the IFF treaty and the Human League. He has a bit of a reputation as an extremist, but is fairly charismatic (though personally he is no Alphie) which gives him a strong base of support regardless, and he is considered by most commentators a competent if not outstanding politician. He is best known for his third party run for President of Asteel. He ran as the candidate of the Conservative Party, launching his campaign with a speech at New Gettisbourg, Asteel on 3210.050. During this speech, he criticized the President for having too close a relationship with the Republic of New Venus, for his actions at Amoss, and for repealing the three term limit on Presidents. He also attacked the President as a “lightweight.” He also promised a greater anti-crime and anti-corruption effort and promised a program of subsidies to encourage more genetic augmentation. Finally, he attacked the two party system as a “political oligopoly.” Shortly after his speech, polls showed Miller at 7%. During the campaign, Miller continued to hammer away at Potato on the issues of Corruption, Crime, and Natural Rights. In the later weeks of the campaign, Miller switched much of his attack to foreign policy. His Deputy Presidential running mate was Luis Netter, a former Reform Party Senator from Vertol. He was able to win a plurality of the vote in his home quadrant, Q1, and Quadrant 7. Polls showed Miller at 26.7%, ahead of Reform Party candidate Mimi Poisson. Towards the end of the campaign he and President Potato engaged in a heated argument, prompted by Potato calling Miller a “dangerous and irresponsible warmonger.” Major supporters of the Miller Campaign included Q7 Governor Rhett Elgon (a member of the Reform Party) and Planetary Governor of Packard Robert Katsuragi. His upper middle class circumstances did not give him a large amount of self-financing to invest in his campaign, which has relied mostly on donations. Miller ultimately lost the election, but he promised to keep fighting and to run again in five years.
Other Information
Occasional rumors link him romantically to GFAN fighter pilot Inyri Joan Kemmer. Miller has neither confirmed nor denied these rumors.

Current Position
Hevanitski is Advisor to the Chairman on Naval Affairs in the Free Worlds Alliance.

Career History
Formerly she was the commander of Venerian forces in Quadrant 4. On 3202.140, she was relieved of command of RNV Quadrant four forces under on suspicion of corruption and complicity in organized piracy. She was replaced by Admiral Isaac Putin. She was arrested and transported to New Venus and was the subject of a long running investigation prior to facing a court-martial. An investigation was carried out in Quadrant 4 by Morgan Proctor, Special Audit Agent, Dept. of Administrative Affairs, which indicated that some of the evidence was circumstantial, and some may have been fabricated. President Heinlein claimed that “Hevanitski herself had however been a little naive, to say the least conducting unrecorded meetings with dubious characters, failing to keep proper auditable records, as well as a few petty cash and travel/subsistence claim 'errors'.” Admiral Hevanitski was found not guilty of conspiracy to commit piracy. She was, however, been found guilty of 'conduct unbecoming' of an officer and gentlewoman of the Venerian Navy and dishonorably discharged. Hevanitski was unhappy that the Government didn't support her more. She always insisted that her arrest was part of a plot by 'subversive forces' to remove her from Quadrant four. After being discharged, she served as the Director of Security for the shipping arm of Virgin Spaceways Corporation. She found it interesting at first, but rapidly became bored with the desk job. On 3209.150 Chairman William Jackson invited Hevanitski to become Advisor to the Chairman on Naval Affairs. His reason for doing so was to take advantage of her experience as a naval officer. She accepted. She currently holds the rank of Commodore in the FWA Navy, making her one of only a few individuals to have held flag rank in two different navies.

Lamster, Q1
Lamster is a world in Quadrant 1 at the center of the Free Worlds Alliance. The Diet of Lamster is the main ruling body. Members of the Diet are selected by regional selection bodies, after a system of competition and opinion polls. Lamster has a loose system modelled a little after the Centauri. Government is small, and mainly operates the legal system and ensures that contract law is enforced. In 3207 the Chief Executive is Jackson Imig. Alliance naval headquarters and the Council of Defense Ministers are located there, which makes it a sort of impromptu 'capital' for the FWA. The Lamster confrence was held there, further cementing this status.
Awa' to the Hills
This game is about the Highland campaign of Viscount Dundee, King James VII's second in command of the Army of Scotland in 1689. Unhappy with the Scots Parliament's declaration that James VII had forfeited his Crown Viscount Dundee returned home to his heavily pregnant wife at Dudhope just north of Dundee. After a few weeks he had gathered about him some of his very loyal troop of Horse. They rode out to Dundee Law where he raised the royal standard of King James VII and declared war on the Parliament.
There are also some briefings, but will upload those later
