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.

- 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.

T74 Q0 - GFA President Brokers IEN Agreement to Withdrawal From Amoss
dateline Sol 3208.260
President Alphie Potato and the First Minister Danso Ashanti have had fruitful discussions on a range of issues during the GFA President's visit to Earth and his tour of the Solar System. Principally amongst these discussions was the crisis in Q6.
Alphie's assurances
Over two days of private discussions President Potato used all his charms on the First Minister and persuaded him that the GFA Navy could successfully hold the military blockade at Amoss where the Venerians had failed. The First Minister agreed that given the personal assurances of President Potato he would give the orders for the IEN in Q6 to vacate the Amoss M25.
On being asked at the press conference on Old Mars about the rumours that there had been leaks by the Admiralty that the GFA had threatened to fire on IEN vessels the First Minister said “I don't believe a word of it, some people would like to see Alphie and me fall out, they're just jealous of the special relationship between the people of Earth and the GFA”.
NOTES FOR EDITORS 1. The First Minister had a tonne of chocolate mousse and a jacuzzi specially installed on his family estate in West Africa for the GFA President's visit.
2. While visiting the First Minister the GFA President was presented with a golden stool as commemoration of his visit. Historically chiefs from this part of Africa used to sit on special stools and the paramount chief of the nation had a special golden stool.
~~DISCUSSION~~
Second Space Lord
The Second Space Lord (2SL) controls the majority of the non-operational elements of the IEN as well as all the home defence fleets, excluding pacifiers attached to orbitals.
There are two Deputies, one an Admiral of the White2) and the other a Vice-Admiral. Each of the Deputies themself control a large chunk of the IEN.
The 2SL has a Captain as his Naval Secretary who ensures that smooth running of his office and that all matters are effectively attended to at the appropriate time. In addition there is a Commander and Lt Commander who act as aide-de-camp to the 2SL as well as a number of other ranks.
The 2SL command splits down into a number of main Directorates:
- Home Systems Defence (1st Deputy)
- High Command & Staff College (1st Deputy)
- Construction (2nd Deputy)
- Training (2nd Deputy)
- Fleet Support (2nd Deputy)
First Deputy Second Space Lord
Like the 2SL the First Deputy also has a Naval Secretary at the rank of Commander. His ADC is a Lt Commander and there is often an assistant ADC who will be a well connected Lieutenant or Second Lieutenant.
Home Systems Defence
There is a Rear Admiral in overall charge of co-ordinating Home Systems Defence based in Sol. In each of the other Home Systems there is a Flag Captain in charge of the Interplanetary Defence Squadron. In the event that the Sol system itself was attacked the First Deputy Second Space Lord would be expected to assume overall command of all operational forces present in system unless otherwise directed by the Admiralty Board.

The Principal of the College is a Vice-Admiral post, however there are a large number of tutors and speakers from all grades drawn into teaching at the college, including a number of retired senior Admirals (with several Grand Admirals among them).
