Perdita
I'd be glad to include [perdita] in the Modern Hall of Fame....

... One more thing. I've looked at the page - and it looks great. Do you plan on running more Modern games?.... [Vincent Mous - Creator of Modern]

How about it, future GMs? Why not try Modern?

Modern Strategy
These files were constructed during the game by the GM in order to give the GM a vent for thoughtm and opinions which arose during the game. They were made public after the game had finished. You can grab these pages as a zip file (1.4MB) for offline viewing, be warned though that some of the relative links will no longer work and the icons at the top of each page will be broken.) To view the zip, unzip it to a directory and point your browser at index.htm.

Perdita is a 'modern' game.
