Welcome!

Pattern Magic is a Amber RPG campaign held yearly at Ambercon US, in Detroit Michigan. It is GM'd by Erick Wujcik and Cliff Winnig and has been running for several years, much to the delight of the players.

The game takes place in Ghenesh, which is ruled by Bleys, Fiona and Brand. Ghenesh is a land of magic. All the players are children of one of these three characters, born and raised within Ghenesh itself.

Character creation was a rather interesting aspect of the game. Rather than the usual auction and the like, the players were presented with a number of things to decide upon:

• Their 'Amber' name.
• Their 'Ghenesh' name.
• Their parent (Fiona, Brand or Bleys)
• Their hair color: Black, Silver or Red
• Their age group: Oldest, Middle or Youngest.

The first session of the game was held in 1996 and had about 16 players show up. After the initial character decisions, the group was broken up into the three age groups. Each group was RPd through growing up in Ghenesh, which helped players develop their characters, get a feel for the world, and develop their characters' powers and interests. The members of each group were considered to have been raised together, generally overseen by a nanny of sorts. In the youngest group, this nanny was called Amatee and she was a great influence in the children's lives, far more so than the rarely-seen Amber parents, at least in their younger years.
