Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you explain again what this is all about, slowly and using words I can understand?

A: Sun of the Fathers is a Play By Email (pbem) game based on the Fading Suns universe, created by the fine folks at Holistic Design.

Q: Is this game in any way affiliated to Holistic Design?

A: Not at all.

Q: I noticed that [ insert random tidbit of information taken from the introduction ] grossly contradict what is said about the [ insert random group ] as specified in [ insert random Fading Suns sourcebook ], why is that?

A: Because beside of the Fading Suns corebook and the Merchants of the Jumpweb, I have no knowledge of the material contained in the other books. SotF is based on the Fading Suns universe, but I reserve myself the right to make modifications and amendments on the setting as I see fit.

Q: How this pbem game works, exactly?

A: The game functioning is very closely based on the way the Santa Cruz Chronicles work.

Q: And what's your credentials, mister?

A: I've been a player in the Santa Cruz Chronicles for 8 years, and been a storyteller for the same game for about 7 years. Browsing through the chronicles should get you an idea of my kind of game style. I particularly recommend Random, Fiddlesticks and Alice's chronicles, although you must bear in mind that the wonderful final product is much more caused by the players' talent than my gamemaster skills.

Q: Any hope of you ever getting tired of using bad puns as titles?

A: You wish.
