The Leafsta Survivors are a group of characters who share a common background. Unlike most short background descriptions this one is in the form of a book ?
The Book of Leafsta, which I wrote, being a newbie, to give my roleplaying a firmer basis. This was an entirely new kind of gaming for me and hope it will show that it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks (or at least some of the tricks). This places the Leafsta Survivors somewhere between a short background description and a formally-constituted family-type guild like the Von?sah or the House of Tramere each with their own forums and guild website.
I began online roleplaying in 2003 when I joined
UO at the time I took early retirement for health reasons. Originally, I had intended that Agnes Fretting (the author of the Book of Leafsta) would never become a character, but would be the Guiding Spirit of the Leafsta Survivors, for which I created the forum name of Angst (Angst being the scornful nickname given to Agnes by Leafstans for her all-too-true prophecies of doom). Later I separated the two by creating Agnes as a character, reserving the name
Angst for the Guilding Spirit.
This thread will be used to provide background information on the Leafsta survivors, to describe some of the NPCs and characters-in-waiting, to describe landmark events in the very humdrum and everyday lives of its main characters and other ooc background information that might be helpful.
The thread is a revision of a backed-up version of an earlier thread called ?a Sosarian soap opera? on the
f4g pre-crash ooc forum. I?ve kept the original dates of when posts were added to the thread.
