Hello folks,<br>
<br>
Many of you know me. I've been a active member here since early<br>
'90s. I contributed a great deal in version 2 of the rules.<br>
<br>
I started my P&P PBEM (Play by Email) game back in 1999. At<br>
this point in Adventure #7 we are 75% done. Sometime next<br>
year we'll be done. Ready to start Adventure #8.<br>
<br>
As always I have welcomed new players all the time. But I am<br>
doing another Official Players Wanted post. But this next<br>
adventure could be potentially the LAST P&P for me. This one<br>
will probably last till 2019. This means TWENTY years for this<br>
PBEM. They say retire at the top. So I may end after the next<br>
adventure. But I may not. I do love this game. But after 20<br>
years who knows. :)<br>
<br>
A little background:<br>
<br>
I started PBEMs going back to 1983. They evolved into my BBS<br>
(Bulletin Board System). During the height of this period I<br>
had at one point 17 Active players in Gamma World (another game<br>
I run). I've done others as well. But this tells you the experience<br>
I have covering almost 35 years.<br>
<br>
As I said above this current P&P started in 1999. Since then I<br>
still have 2 players from that start. The game itself has only<br>
stalled twice. Once one summer when a player who liked to argue<br>
over rules bogged down things till he died mysteriously (it was<br>
not ME! I don't kill folks like that). The other time was a couple<br>
months when my dad died. So that shows you this is a constant<br>
on going game. Most fail in the first 6 months.<br>
<br>
Methods:<br>
<br>
* The majority of game play is done by e-mail. If you get email<br>
you can play. No need to login to sites. Email goes to you via<br>
a Mailing List thanks to Wout.<br>
<br>
* Two websites are resources: Wout's the main P&P site and my<br>
game site. My site keeps copies of all posts and updates. I also<br>
have links for maps, pictures and other resources like experience<br>
charts and such one can view as needed. No login needed just<br>
access the site.<br>
<br>
* V2 of rules with Perilous Lands Party HQ land is Marentia.<br>
<br>
Roster:<br>
<br>
I normally don't post a roster in these ads. But since this<br>
could be the last time. Why not.<br>
<br>
Player Person Race Class/type<br>
Arawn John Elf Druid/Priest/Alfar<br>
Fremea Tobie Faerry Sidh MU/Archer/Herbalist/Warrior<br>
Kell Mark Half-Elf Merchant Trader/Wizard<br>
Kiet David Human Acrobat/Wizard<br>
Unali Wout Human Dagger Maiden Warrior<br>
Pyan Panthera Human Hunter<br>
Z'leyra Alex Human Shaman/Healer/Wizard<br>
Dorhak Kevin Dwarf Warrior<br>
? ? ? ?<br>
? ? ? ?<br>
<br>
Pyan and Dorhak are newest folks. I have 2 others working<br>
on characters as well. So while it looks like a large party<br>
of 8-10 folks I tailor things so even that's not enough. :)<br>
Like I said I've had 17 active in one game and it worked<br>
out so well folks still talk about it.<br>
<br>
So see something that interests you? I can accept all types.<br>
Normal and Half Breeds. We've had 2 half breeds and a 3rd<br>
will be joining. I prefer not to have Natural Magicians but<br>
anything else is fine.<br>
<br>
What does it take to play:<br>
<br>
* Browser/Email client<br>
<br>
* Time: For you 20-40 minutes a week. I do 2 updates a week.<br>
on average 300-500 lines. If you read fast great. So this<br>
is a estimated time 20-40. For me as GM it takes 8-16 hours<br>
a week to work on the game. Combat updates take 3 hours per<br>
phase at times.<br>
<br>
So can you spare 20-40 for maybe 2-3 years? Join up. It might<br>
be the last chance.<br>
<br>

Thanks for listening. Now back to the mailing list...<br>

PS. My Site has info on what a PBEM is if not sure.<br>
