Subject: New Game

We would like to set up two lists for a new PBeM campaign. 

purgatorio@phoenyx.net    - The Primary List, used for all game related In Character Activity.
silvercord@phoenyx.net    - The Discussion List, used for Out Of Character activity, Lurker approval/feedback, IRC Combat schedules, etc. (Paperwork)

Ad Blurb:

Purgatorio, Paradisio, Inferno, the oldest of the rule of threes; You do your time, get your reward, and take your licks, berk. The paths to, in and through Sigil are as numerous as there are ways to die. Will you find your reward? Or will a fiend serve you as steak on a stick? A PBeM AD&D RPG based in the Planescape(tm) setting. Veteran players, too darn much of a pair veteran DM's. Regularly posted mailing list with heavy encounters resolved by mIRC. For more info, email: purgatorio@xoommail.com.

Back Cover:

"See the planes" They said. "Travel to exciting gate towns where the rewards are greatest for those on the 'Glory Road'." They said. Why is it that the more exciting and rewarding things always wind up with someone bleeding, broke, pissed off, or all three. 
Embrace the mantra of a faction. Piously homage the dogma of the Powers. Ignore them all and get some jink. That's what I'm in it for. Aren't you? Join us and see the planes, not the good parts, not the parts in the travelogues, the seemy, dirty, smelly and often bloody underbelly of the universe. All takers taken. All fools fooled.
The factions don't know the answer, they only think they do. The powers don't know the answer, they only believe they do. You don't know the answer, but you don't even know the question. You and your rather unfortunate comrades are cajoled, hoodwinked and just plain drafted into "fixing" things that shouldn't need "fixing". Something large and rather disturbing appears to be spinning the City of Doors, and maybe more. There is a cancer gnawing at the center of the known universe. Slowly, even the disorderly order of chaos is wasting away. Are you going to stop it? Probably not, but you'll get paid before they run out of jink, though.
"Purgatorio" is a AD&D 2nd Edition Planescape Game using elements of the Player's and DM Options and a liberal sprinkling of house rules. Lurker input is welcome on the discussion list "Silvercord", lurkers may petition for membership there too. All input to "Purgatorio" is _In Character Only_, if successful, our archives and digests will read like a good book. If not, we'll edit it. This is a game for mature as well as veteran players.  We are not guaranteeing PG content, after all we get to kill stuff, right? The list is co-DM'ed by two gamers with almost forty collective years of roleplaying, additional guest DM's may also surface. One player equals one character. For more info email: purgatorio@xoommail.com.

Gamer Resume (PBeM and Otherwise):

DM's: anarion@nji.com and drennon@tellurian.net have been playing Role Playing games for almost 20 Years apiece. I have been in PBeM and FFG since 1992 in the various incarnations of the alt.dragons.inn or Red Dragon Inn IRC Rooms. This will be our first solo operation, outside of guest DM'ing for different lists or on WebRPG or IRC. 

Player's: Ranging in experience from first timers to veteran's of En Garde!, they span the same ranges in RPG experience. Some have decided to return to gaming for this venture.
