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
- 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.

Perfects
Here are links for some of the background to my work in progress novel Perfects and some of the games and short fiction that I have also written in the same setting.
The Perfects universe is, I hope, a plausible (but unlikely) future for where we are in 2014. The uk still exists and England is reluctantly still in the European Union (ironically held there by the Scots, Welsh & Northern Irish in a narrow margin referendum result). The UK has given the world a cure for cancer (albeit shared with other nations and largely funded by others, but the lab was in Cambridge); cheap(er) space travel (Virgin Galactic came good) and a lesson in hubris.
22nd April Interrogations
Three suspects were interrogated by CT12G on 22nd April 2046 following their handover from Border Command at Folkestone. The interrogations were done under the provisions of Regulations on Police Evidence 2045.
Gertrude Schepping
Gertrude Schepping, GM, 16 and a juvenile.
She claimed that she had been kidnapped by the other two and that she wanted to see her Mum. She gave a name and address in North London for her mother that matched her last known address. She said that her mum thought she was staying over with a school friend. However she'd intended to go clubbing with her erstwhile boyfriend Richard_Coutts (one of the two males in custody).
They'd met at St Pancras and Richard had brought the other man, known to both Richard and Gertrude as Chan) with him. They'd got on the Eurostar train to Paris rather than the Brighton Express she'd been expecting. She had remonstrated with the two men when they got on the train but had reluctantly agreed to stay on the train until Paris.
On arrival in Paris she had again argued with the men because she wanted to return on the next train. This argument attracted the attention of the gendarmerie. The initial exchange was in confused and rapid french which her terminal translation filter didn't catch. However she had communicated her discomfort and wish to return to a place of safety.
Richard Coutts
Richard_Coutts, GM, 19 years old and a philosophy student, was next to be interrogated. He stayed silent initially. Chief Inspector Young broke him though. He denied kidnapping but admitted to wishing to relocate to Switzerland with the love of his life, Gertrude Schepping. He admitted that he had been seeing her for 18 months 3 weeks and 2 days. However he denied that there had been anything improper about their relationship.
He claimed to have first met Chan in the Marquis of Granby off Tottenham Court Road about three weeks earlier. Chan had suggested to him that he could get Coutts and Schepping out of the country to Switzerland. Coutts had paid him about £20k for this service. He'd got some of the money from his allowance and had sold some of his possessions to raise the remainder. He hadn't told Schepping about the plan nor had he asked many questions of Chan. He claimed that England was no longer safe for people like him because of people like the Chief Inspector.
George Chan
Chan-Mackay. He was a much slippier character than the other two, and although no specific record showed up for him he clearly had experience of police interrogation.
He claimed not to know his birth name because he was adopted by Mr and Mrs Mackay from Lairg in Scotland. Running a more detailed biometric search showed lots of 70% matches and 7 more high confidence matches all of which looked substantially similar. It was remarked that Chan's facial features were remarkably bland and generic looking. This prompted suspicion in CI Young that he'd had work done to disguise who he was. He was promptly arrested. A search warrant was arranged for his home address.
Schepping Residence
A modest terraced house in the Camden area of North London.
It is the registered address of Gertrude Schepping, a suspect in Operation Hawkeye.
Inspector Howard took a Constable with him to pick up Mrs Schepping in the early evening of 22 April. On arrival he found no one in. This was confirmed by drone recce using TI.
The neighbours didn't know the names of the people living next door but said that they hadn't seen them for a couple of weeks. On being asked for a description the neighbour said there were two men living there. The descriptions were rather vague so Howard showed them the pictures of Coutts and Chan. Chan was identified.
Search Warrant
A search warrant was also requested for this address and executed in the early hours of 23rd April 2046.
Detailed forensic results are not yet available, however the house was found to be empty of people.
Gertrude Schepping
Born 21 May 2029 (16 years old when arrested in France by Gendarmerie on 22 April 2046). She was passed to CT12G custody and interrogated.
