This page is a summary of the FLRP adventures which have been run - for each one is listed the adventure's title, the date it ran, who ran it and a brief precis of what happened. Clicking on an adventure's title will take you to another page, where you can find out which adventurers played in each adventure and read a longer and more detailed rundown of what happened.
Some of the information given here may be incorrect or incomplete, if you can help correct or expand it then please let me know.
Note that there were several adventures prior to May '00, which aren't listed here. This is partly because it was only in May '00 that Nocturne became properly organised and the system and gameworld were more-or-less finalised into rough approximations of their current form, but mainly because I can't remember most of what happened or who to that far back. If anyone wants to write any of them up so that they can be posted here, please do.
