Tenling role-playing stories is what Amberzine is all
about, and the one I like best is the one about Carolan
and Caine.
It’s a long story.
In order to present it to you in any kind of timely
fashion we’ve got to present it in two, out-of-sequence,
pieces.
The first, Cathy Klessig’s “Morgan’s Children,” is
the start of a serial that will probably continue through
the life of Amberzine itself. In fact, if it weren’t for
Cathy Klessig’s log of the “Wolfling” campaign, there
probably wouldn’t even be anything called Amberzine.
Because with Cathy's stuff alone, I can fill the next
dozen issues.
Since I've been reading it for years now, I can tell you
that it's just going to get better and better.
You won't see Carolan appear in Cathy's logs just
yet. In our next issue, when the log picks up sometime
in early 1988, he'll join that group. That's when the
whole lot of them will be exiled from the Court of
Amber.
The why of their exile brings us to the second telling
of the story, Don Woodward’s story of his character
Carolan. It’s a tale, in his own words, of how Carolan
killed his beloved Aunt Llewella. It fills in the events in
Carolan's life during the campaign from 1985 to 1988.
It'll take the next three issues to get there.
A long story. Worth the wait, because you, our
readers, will get to see how a long-term Amber
campaign can make everything fit together...
