New MEPBM circa 2950 From: panamon@netcom.com (Ian Verhaegen) Date: Thu, 07 Jul 1994 18:22:27 +0000 OK here's the scoop! as taken from the July issue of Whispers. The new scenario for MEPBM is set about the time of the War of the Ring. What this means to you are the following: * New nations with new setups and new dynamics * No 'Experienced' players...everyone starts on an equal footing. * GSI will start EVERY player off with a bit o extra info on EACH nation * New artifacts (about 25 of em) balancing the ones that were lost since the 1650's. * New artifact encounters and riddles. * New random encounters, guardians and creatures. * The Free Peoples are Now: 1. Woodmen 2. Northmen 3. Riders of Rohan 4. Dunadan Rangers 5. Silvan Elves 6. Northern Gondor 7. Southern Gondor 8. Dwarves 9. Sinda Elves 10. Noldo Elves * The evil positions are all the same (9 Nazgul and the Drk. Lt's. * Neutral Nations are: 1. Corsairs 2. Rhun Easterlings 3. Dunlendings 4. White Wizard (Saruman) 5. Khand Easterlings * The scope of the 2950's was such that nations were much reduced in overall 'power'...this means that all nations will be reduced in initial strength and scope, but become less vulnerable than in the earlier version. * More balanced economies allow for more steady and controlled growth. * New set-ups are being taken now. * Set-ups are $17.50 for current MEPBM players and $25 for new players. * Set-ups include the New Scenario rulebook and two free turns. * The new games will be starting toward the end of summer - August/September '94.
