I've run across Prufrock451 before on the Paradox gaming boards, where he was known years ago as one of the most creative AAR (After Action Report) writers.

Two of his most popular works, both dating from 2002:

- WAAR of the Worlds, in which aliens invade (and are then repulsed by another player who alternated game sessions with Prufrock451). http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?44563-WAA...

- The Great Game Redux - Sibir, whose plot bears a striking resemblance to Rome Sweet Rome. A Englishman in 1909 is transported to Siberia in 1419 and attempts to transform the tribes into a modern country. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?35699-The...

Both were written against a backdrop of a (heavily modified) game of Europa Universalis 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_Universalis_II).



A further proof, if still necessary, that overnight success is just a myth.
