Well,
if you're here then you're obviously interested at least a
little bit in the game. At its heart the game is based on
an alternate version of our worlds history. There are several
major differences in this world - the presence of the Daoine
Sidhe (the high kingdom of the elves) in Gallia, Goblinkin
and Gnomes in the Urals and Giants in Germania.
Of
course, these differences are really minor compared to the
two main differences - the presence of magic in the world,
and the fact that the rapture has begun. The year is 1245,
one-hundred and forty-four years after the final war between
the agents of the adversary and the archangels of heaven.
If
any of this piques your interest, then feel free to contact
me at alaffin [/at\] cs [/dot\] mun [/dot\] ca (if you can't
decode it, then I apologize but you can't play). But let me
lay out a few ground rules first (just to weed out those that
need not apply):
Rule
1 - There are no rules
Rules
are only here to make the game world consistent. If at any
point in time I decide that the rules ruin the spirit of fun,
I'll toss them out the window. If I see better uses for rules,
I'll apply them as I see fit. In short, rules lawyers need
not apply. The only rule is my rule.
Rule
2 - Combat
Depending
on how it works out, I intend to make a few modifications
to the combat system to make combat via IRC seem more cinematic
and flowing. This shouldn't involve any major changes, but
you have been warned.
Rule
3 - Don't Take It Seriously
At least not that seriously. Yes, I'm sure the fact that I'm
using a quasi-historical setting and an existing religion
may bother you. Perhaps you might also be bothered by the
fact that Christianity is the only religion (except some druidic
paganism and the elven religion). Yes, I have ignored other
religions that were popular at the time, but I have done so
for good reason. I am Christian myself, and Christianity is
what I know best. If I was to DM a game based on Islamic or
Judaic or Hindi or neo-paganistic faiths it would suck, because
I know very little about those religions. This is not some
font of Christian propoganda, nor is it an attempt to convert
anyone. It's just a way for me to mix a relitively well know
mythos with a game I enjoy. If you can't handle that, don't
bother applying.
Other
rules will be added here as I see fit.
