The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress: Recap
Over at the Mythic RPG Yahoo Group, Doc Halloween pointed it out that there have been some folks who have discovered the Mythic Game Master Emulator through this blog and I know that some Mythic users have discovered Risus in the same way. I do plan on setting up a page to help people interested in Risus and the Mythic GM Emulator find additional tips and examples of play. That's still in the works (especially as I return to some unfinished stories that I'm anxious to complete). In the mean time, I'm going to use this post to index the scenes of my previous story: The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.
Introduction
Explanation of Mythic Elements
