I'd recommend Abduction as an interesting RPG in itself - not terribly long either, I think it just touches on the fourth page. I left Scyld off there at a pretty crucial part of his character development, which is a large part of why I'm not done with him... (and I'm finding that I'm getting really excited about this, leaving me to wonder if the reason I was so unmotivated to write was simply that I was getting bored with Leof, as much as I love him).
But it's totally up to you - not necessary, just informative.
Thanks, Gwathagor.
