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.

Eurostar Arrests
On 23rd April French police picked up three people acting suspiciously at Gare du Nord having come off the Eurostar. On questioning them it became clear that they were travelling as UK nationals, however their stories didn't make sense to the Gendarmerie and the documents looked suspicious.
On being detained for further questioning all three readily admitted that they were travelling on false identities and they attempted to claim asylum.
This claim was refused and the three suspects have been returned to the Border Command of the National Police. Running Biometrics they have been identified as GM subjects. They are currently in detention at Folkestone pending interrogation by CT12G.
Operation Hawkeye
Origins
In 2044 the then Home Secretary (Chastity Woodham, CON) brought up the matter of the genetically modified children with the National Police Commissioner. She said that while they were an abomination in the eyes of God there was a duty on us to take care of them to show our compassion for sinners. However, a careful eye should be kept on them, and if the caused trouble they needed to be removed from society immediately.
The result of this was surveillance of known GM people, using powers in the Genetically Modified Humans Act 2044. Any offences that they commited were logged and used against them if they caused any trouble.
The current Home Secretary (Rupert Goodenough, UKIP) is in the coalition government that was elected on the wave of public horror that Hephaestus had got away with things, and had even had the research approved, under the previous government. He took a much more hard-line approach. He directed that it would be appropriate for those confirmed as persistent troublemakers to be taken into preventative detention. In such cases arrest warrants could be issued ‘dead or alive’. Only the Organised Crime & Terrorism Group would deal with these people. A specialist counter GM branch (CT12G) was set up in 2046.
Targets
Those responsible for the disappearance of known Genetically Modified subjects from surveillance. It is not clear exactly who these people are or how they are operating.
Recent Intelligence
Since 2046 there has been a steady loss of contact with those known to be GM. All UK residents that are GM are supposed to register their current address with the police (in the same way that foriegn visa nationals do). In addition their citizen cards are endorsed with their GM status and interactions with local police and goverment services are supposed to flag on the national infrastructure. Exit records do not show that missing GM subjects have left the country, although some social media intelligence has suggested that a number of them have done that.
