Literary RPG Society - World Weaving and Gamesmastering Techniques

Concept

  • The idea for this wiki is that it should be a discussion center focused on classical literature and mythology as sources for World Weaving and Gamesmastering Techniques from a story telling perspective. This part of the wiki is closely associated to the Literary Role Playing Game Society of Westchester on Yahoo Groups (see link below). You can (should) add to this section by adding a new page if the topic is large. Add links as you see fit. Add topic ideas as you see fit, and link them to your new page. 
  • I should like to also add that materials are being saved with reasonable consistancy out on the LRPGSW, the Elthos RPG and associated forums. There is a slowly growing base of information, and a substantial amount of material that you may find thought provoking. So stay tuned out on those channels as well. And as always, you should feel perfectly free to contribute.
