PBEM - Opening for player From: Conor.Ryan@ul.ie (Conor Ryan) Date: Mon, 11 Nov 1996 00:00:00 +0000 I have a vacancy, possibly two, for a player in my pbem. The pbem has been running for over and is very much a role playing pbem, there are few fights in the game and this is a very low magic world. The game takes the form of a stage play, with no "turns" as such. Instead, the game is very freeform with players posting for their characters whenever the characters have something to say or do. Sometimes a player might post three times a week, sometimes three times in one day. The game doesn't really use any system, although the players were given their character stats using AD&D rules. I have a few rules that *must* be adhered to: 1. Players must post regularly. 2. Players must be able to guarantee me that they will not lose net access in the near future. 3. Above all, players must be able to roleplay in character - over a year of real time has translated into something like three days of game time, conversation and roleplaying is what the game is all about, the DM rarely has to do anything. If you're still interested, have a look at some of the last few postings, if this appeals to you, then drop me a line and I'll send you some more information and a character description. Web access would be a benefit, but is not a prerequisite.

The balloon was losing height because there were too many people in it, so everyone crushed into one side to try and get the balloon to climb up over some buildings. The balloons owner - Dr. Jerome K. Trindle BSc PhD cast an enlarge spell on the gas: Alice : Well, it might have stopped us from hitting the glasshouse, but can't you make it stop growing? At this rate we'll burst out through the top of the sky! Jerome: [Reaching for a small knob at the base of the balloon] Certainly, fair lady! I'll just open the valve at the base here slightly, the helium will escape slowly, and we can hopefully make quite a smooth landing, maybe even missing buildings completely! Depending, of course, on the air temperature, wind, and of course, my most excellent spell, which I thought would have finished by now... Sr Immaculata: [From within the crush of bodies] Whoever is poking me in the small of my back with something, had better stop right now! Harvey: If thats you Pte. Sleaze with that bloody form again...!. Alice : [Sitting on the opposite side to the crush of bodies] Hold on, explain the plan to me again, something seems to be wrong here....but at least I've got plenty of space. [JEROME, who has been looking fairly pleased with himself up to this point, suddenly looks taken aback as his knob comes off in his hand. The balloon suddenly comes to a halt, about 20 feet above JEROME's house] Lenin : Snekov's shroud! We're caught on the chimney - just think, if it were a poor persons house, there'd be no chimney for us to get caught on. [Shifts uncomfortably within the tangle of people] Ow, just what the hell is that thing poking into my back? [The balloon is now balanced precariously on the top of the chimney, and is beginning to deflate. It looks as though the slightest movement could topple the basket over. A large bird lands on the basket, it creaks and rocks from side to side.] Clint : [remaining motionless and maintaining his position] Can somebody reach the rope and grappling hook with the minimum amount of movement? Alice : Aaah aah aaah [Stifles a sneeze] Interested? Drop a line to : conor.ryan@ul.ie Referenced By Up
