The Imperium campaign was created by our GM, Nigel Wallis, based on a number of ideas for a campaign set in ancient Rome he had floating around in his head for some years. We gave him the opportunity to realise them late in 1994. We were at the time members of the (now defunct) Brisbane League of Adventurers (BLA). The original gaming party consisted of:
    Daniel Egan
    Brett Jones
    Ben Vaughan
    Vanessa Vincent
    Michelle Wilcox
We were joined (on various occasions) by:
    Laurie Carson
    Brad Johnson
    Fiona MacDonald
    Justin Vaughan
We tried to play a game once every month. The individual sessions were usually about 8 hours in length. The system we used for the campaign was Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition.

Nigel kindly (sometimes regretably, on his part) allowed us to play any race we liked (within reason). The one stipulation was that there would be NO EVIL characters. We were even allowed to design our own races. (See faeries.)

The stories presented here are based on the taped game sessions and reflect very closely what actually went on - some parts are actually verbatim. (Vanessa Vincent and Michelle Wilcox both spent many hours agonising over this epic...)

Maps, game information and other details come from a wide variety of sources, including numerous role playing books and modules.
