Elthos Game Test - Actual Play Stories
Following are example Actual-Play Game Stories from my Elthos World, which demonstrate how we have used the Elthos RPG
(ODS version) to drum up absolutely awesome adventures. Each Episode (Chapter) of Elthos Game Test Story is shown in the order
it was played and represents one Game Session.
My intention for this project has been to represent the story as it was actually played, and the dialog that was spoken
by the Players during the course of play. Each game was recorded and transformed into literary form.
The only changes I've made were to add some narrative elements, and introduce a bit of information about the back-story
that might not have been known by the players during game, but were revealed sometime soon afterwards, or should be known by
the audience. As such this represents about as faithful a representation of the game itself as I can manage.
I have also included in this list some of the artwork I've done along the way of certain characters in the game.
I want to thank all of my players for giving me the permission to do so, the useful and insightful feedback on the
Elthos RPG they provided, and so many action packed and wonderful evennings over the years.
I hope you enjoy the stories, and find them inspirational for your own Elthos RPG Games!
