Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Just inquiring if anyone knows of any collection of session by session reports anyone has done for Lion & Dragon. Interested in reading some, and getting an idea of how others have used the ruleset.

I do not I'm afraid. Hard to get my bunch to play in the real world, in most any quantum string, past about the time of King Arthur or Charlemagne, BUT...
...if you are wondering about the books value and are trying to derive intel to help you decide to make a purchase, I can tell you it contains a wealth of things you can steal which will only inflict a greater than your players might be ready for degree of medieval realism on your game if you chose to use such. The book is actually quite educational if you have only the same level of understanding of the real medieval world as the typical D&D player commonly does, rather than that which scholars can clarify or at least as best as they can discern it. Sumptry laws for example, customs, beliefs, punishments, monetary system if I recall correctly, there is plenty of use you can get from it if you are doing medieval at all. There is also a GURPS book on the subject (medieval world in general) with plenty of good info to assimilate, if you are set to gather aesthetic for a coming game. For a setting you could do a lot worse, and it even has the french/bullywug/frogman-demon aspect to give you that bbeg empire thats always causing trouble for your players; every setting needs its draconians/stormtroopers/battledroids and these are both sort of unique and also comically, appropriately, and culturally thematic for the perfidious albions.

Elstwise nay I know of no recorded games that utilize the setting, but I wouldn't even if such existed as I am not one to watch such a thing.

Oh, I know full well the value of the book. I currently own it, and I am soon stocking up on more from RPG Pundit. Was just looking to see what all people have done with it, and read up on campaigns.
