This is the only post I'll do on this. So not to clog the mailing
list. Advneture #4 of my pbem game will be ending likely next
week. Adventure #5 will start soon. June will mark TEN years
doing this pbem and time flies. That should show I'm not a fly
by night GM :) (more a hard to get rid of GM). So I welcome any
new players who are interested or as always lurkers to see the
game in action.
Here are some stats:
Files # of # of Party
/Text Files Updates Time Size
Adventure #1 - 4.2megs 574 324 6/99 - 1/05 14
Adventure #2 - 5.4megs 555 137 3/05 -11/06 13
Adventure #3 - 3.4megs 358 87 12/06 -10/07 11
Adventure #4 - 6.5megs 637 111+ 11/07 -03/09 9
The current game had alot of files due to maps. Each "update"
is the game posting of actions done by me. The tiem shows
the range of dates for each adventure. While it looks like
some time is required there are reasons. The first game took
so long cause one entire summer was wasted by a player who
got severely sidetracked. Now that the players and myself
are in a groove it goes faster. On average I could probably
do an adventure in a year of real time. So it does take
time involved BUt your character isn't required to read and
post every week. Some have been able to go away or just be
too busy to post for a few weeks then catch up. So its
flexible that way.
Adventure #1 was in Clima taking down one of their secret
bases for world takeover. :)
Adventure #2 was on the Zen'da plains dealing with a vampire
and plans for regional takeover.
Adventure #3 was in the Vassa forests dealing with trouble
there and local takeovers. (Gee these takeovers seem to
be common huh? :))
Advneture #4 was in the Dark lands dealing with a threat to the
lands there.
Base of operations for the group is Marentia. With one player
who can teleport half a contient (yes experienced here!)
travel isn't a problem. I've worked out a arc story that
deals with backgrounds thus #2 dealt with 2 players homeland,
#3 with another homeland and #4 with another. That arc
is tied together for #2-#4 and will end on #5.
In game time the story has gone from Aprils 1631 to Ma 1634
almost 3 full years have passed for the players. So time
moves for the game universe as well.
This group is well experienced but new players can easily join
in if you wish. The next adventure will be quite dangerous
and more combat oriented. It will be one of the most difficult
adventures for the group but ends the arc story I've done. AFter
that the party can return to Marentia for rest until some
new threat comes about. :)
The game is done via mailing list, website (mine keeps links
of maps, reports and updates) and list archives. So if
your wanting to join email me. If questions email me.
