Subject: slug fantasy pbem


Wanted to start up a fantasy pbem game; The Slug rules seem like the best 
bet. If youre interested, send me a Slug fantasy character about a paragraph 
long.  Please don't ask me to write up a tome on the world background before 
you write up a PC; we'd be playing your simple basic fantasy thing- nothing 
too serious or heady.  Feel free to add any flavor you like- you want to be 
an orcish barbarian monk from the  outlands, fine.  If you want to be a 
swashbuckler from some coastal city, fine too.  You guys just all meet in 
some city in the middle somewhere.  If I get at least two characters from 
people Ill post a first turn (not here of course, but individually to the 
players). 

Again, anyone interested can do no better than to just send me a character.  
These things are notoriously difficult to get off the ground because people 
make the logistics more complicated than they need be (like, again, creating 
or insisting on world background the depths of which fantasy novelists dont 
do ).  Dice will be rolled by me, and theres no mailing list- Ill collect 
turns myself and send the final result out to everyone.  I can reply 1-3 
times a week, and if someone gets bored or lazy and drops out it just means 
his character remembered that he left a pie on the hearth at home.  Takers?

4 of the game nights I partake in; we're just about to finish the scenario I created for "The Collectors" - it was orignally made as a one-nighter, but thanks to one of the players, it has stretched into three, maybe four by the time it's done. TimHuntley 2003-04-08 20:00:00
