Table of Contents
Welcome to James Kemp's Wiki
This is a collaborative web platform that allows people to edit1) the web pages to provide additional content for some of the stories I have written and the roleplaying games that I am involved in, whether as a player or GM.
There are several namespaces operating slightly different wiki subjects. These are, in no particular order:
- Skyss - Story Background - a fantasy novel I wrote for NaNoWriMo 2016.
- Perfects - background for the near future story and some police roleplaying that I ran in that universe
- Theocracy of Daprav - A D&D campaign that I ran with Glasgow University Games Society around 2002-3.
- Jim Wallman's Universe - a roleplaying by e-mail campaign that I play in, this is an unofficial wiki and none of it is canon unless Jim says it is.
- Interstellar Freelance Unlimited - subset of the Universe pages covering the activities of a mercenary company that we are currently roleplaying every Full Moon.
- Earth Imperium pages. These cover the activities of the Government of the Solar republic (aka Earth Empire) in Jim's Humanity Will Prevail campaign, including the Earth Imperium News Items.
- Free Worlds Alliance - covering the activities of another emerging polity in the Humanity Will Prevail campaign. Mostly contributed by Eric Moroney.
- Universe Background - page collecting the various bits of background info that have come up in various e-mail discussions for the campaigns set in Jim Wallman's Universe.
- Master map of the Universe (6Mb PDF, as at 3212).
- Delta Green - some roleplaying campaigns about horror and conspiracy. The main one was set in Berlin in 1953.
- Free games rules - a collection of free rules for wargames and other sorts of face to face games that I have designed or run.
- Wargames rules - I'm not just a player of games, I also do rules for them from time to time as well as one-off games. A primary outlet for this is through Chestnut Lodge Wargames Group.
- Other free rules - at the moment just those for the 1689 (Orange or Lemon? and Bonnie Dundee, respectively about the debates in the Scots Parliament and then the military campaign of Viscount Dundee during 1689) and The Other Side of the COIN (about what makes people become insurgents). All games that I have have produced for Chestnut Lodge Wargames Group.
- Background for a near future universe where I have written some fiction and also run some roleplaying games in.

Letters to the Roman Senate
After the sacking of the Senate building a number of letters were recovered amid the ruins from members of the German Army Council to the Emperor & members of the Senate. These give a flavour of what they were telling the Emperor/Senate before they finally decided to march on Rome.
TO IMPERATOR GALBA, ROME
All Hail Caesar
Greetings from Valerius Asiaticus [Governor Belgica]
News from the Rhine Frontier. The troops have been paid - just - and are much displeased due to the oversight of delayed payment. Many frontier towns were taxed directly and will no doubt be expecting payment of IOUs from the Treasury. Barbarians are quite restless and we need reinforcements before beginning a pacification campaign.
All Hail Caesar
Valerius Asiaticus
TO EMPEROR GALBA, ROME
From Munius Lupercus (Junior) Legate XV Primagenia, XVI Gallica [Germania Inferior]
Your Imperial Highness
I write as a loyal commander of 2 legions on the German frontier. Unrest is rife here - due entirely to arrears of pay in the legions. Our own support is guaranteed, and your generosity in declaring the bounty is appreciated, but we urgently need money to pay the troops.
M. Lupercus
TO EMPEROR GALBA + THE SENATE OF ROME
It is with regret that I inform you that the situation in Gaul has reached crisis point. The monies that were gratefully received from the Emperor's gift have been inadequate.
It is vital that this matter be redeemed urgently.
The legions must be paid. I must have the 115 talents I need.
Your servant
Gauius Cornutus
Procurator of Gallia Lugdunensis
TO POMPEIUS VOPISCUS, SENATOR AT ROME
Greetings,
This is to advise you that the emperor has sent but 47 talents to pay the 7 legions in GERMANIA, and has told the legions that they are at the “arse end” of his priorities.
This is not likely to encourage loyalty to a man who would insult loyal troops so. What does the senate think of this?
What is the feeling in Rome?
We legates are loyal to the senate and people of Rome but it is difficult to support Galba in the face of such an insult.
CORNLIUS AQUINUS
LEGATUS IV LEGIO
GALBA, ROME
From Verginius Rufus (Imperial Legate)
Dearest Galba
I have sorted out the problem in Gallia Lugdunensis. The current Governor is adamant that Rome's funds have been sent to Rome - there they have disappeared.
Without being in Rome I can do no other thing than say chack the accountants!
As ever you friend + servant
rufus
TO POMPEIUS VOPISCUS, SENATOR AT ROME
Greetings from GERMANIA SUPERIOR.
Main problem here is lack of money from the Emperor to pay for the legions in GERMANY & GAUL. The 14th Legion in LUTIA has mutinied since they have not been paid.
It is in the interest of ROME for the Legions to be paid correctly. How can we defend the border without paid & loyal troops?
What happens in Rome?
CORNLIUS AQUINUS
LEGATUS IV LEGIO
GALERIUS - SENIOR CONSUL
Greetings fomr Britannica.
Report as follows.- Income is not good due to barbarian uprising upsetting locals - around 40 talents per tax quarter.
Expenditure purely on troop upkeep is 96 talents, thus we have a problem.
Military Situation - ongoing barbarian fighting have pulled back to oour borders to increase troop strength - fighting very hard but our losses are minimal - most due to cld - fighting in December and January in Wales due to orders of Governor Maximus. Perhapsyou should order him there to see what it is like for himself (advice from the commanders of II and IX).
How is the Emperor's health? How about that temple?
Regards, Prospertius Cerealis, Procurator of Britannia

Lamster
Lamster is a world in Quadrant 1 at the center of the Free Worlds Alliance, and was the setting for the Lamster Summit Meeting which established the alliance as it is known today.
Government
The Diet of Lamster is the main ruling body. Members of the Diet are selected by regional selection bodies, after a system of competition and opinion polls. Lamster has a loose system modelled a little after the Centauri, of whom it was once a member system.
Government is small, and mainly operates the legal system and ensures that contract law is enforced. In 3207 the Chief Executive was Jackson Imig.
Economy
For many years a very poor colony but recently Lamster's economy has improved recently, largely as a result of being part of a larger trading group. Today it has a Below Average economy. A civilian repair yard owned by the Hyama Reconstruction Corporation is located at Lamster.
Military
The Free Worlds Alliance naval headquarters and the Council of Defense Ministers are located there, which makes it a sort of impromptu 'capital' for the Free Worlds Alliance. The Lamster conference was held there, further cementing this status.
