Ye Olde Inn

2003--that would predate Phoenix by five years. I imagine that would make Busby's the first online record.

if I recall correctly, I named it that (inspired by the Race for the Galaxy expansion) as it seemed like a good idea, Phoenix then liked and copied the idea.
Looks like othe rpeople had similar ideas.

While going through the Mage in the Mirror expansion quest 8 is titled "The Gathering Storm". It get the idea behind the name for the Game System quests being named that, but where did that come from and was it ever officially referred to as "The Gathering Storm" in the game system?

Some alternate Game System Quest Book titles:

• In Defense of the Empire
• The Coming of War
• First Blood
• The Gauntlet
• The Return of Darkness
• The Empire Strikes Back

The Gathering Storm works well as it has the same initials as Game System.

I agree that the Game System Quest Pack definitely could benefit with a cool name and I like "The Gathering Storm" and as pointed out it has the same initials as Game System. I must admit that I thought there was a reference to the phrase "The Gathering Storm" somewhere in official publications around the Game System Quest Pack but I can't find it at present, possibly I just imagined it...

EDIT: Found what I thought was the reference to 'the gathering storm' in the epilogue of the Game System Quest Book, turns out it actually says "Dark clouds gather at the Empire's borders..." but that is close enough for me!

It is the same as another Quest but I'm not sure that is necessarily a problem...but I wouldn't use "The Fellowship of Four" as I recall someone created a Quest or Quest Pack based on Dave Morris's book and used that title already, perhaps with greater justification.
