New: Infinity's Gate (free, open-ended, email, human, space, modern) From: donotreply@pbm.com (PBM List Autoposter) Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2006 20:13:02 +0000 Name: Infinity's Gate Costs: free Email: times_gatekeeper zat yahoo.com Frequency: every day or two URL: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/infinitys_gate/ Type: Modern Multiverse exploration Last-Update: 2006Mar09 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, space, modern Description: This group will host a pbem / play by post rpg involving exploration of the multiverse (parallel worlds, alternate history, space travel all possible). Prospective players should choose either a military background (navy / marines/etc.), exploration (astronaut / bush pilot / adventurer) or research (astronomy / geology / physics / etc.) or something else that sounds interesting and plausible. Influences will include GURPS Infinite Worlds, Fringeworthy, Stargate, Sliders and more, with some surprises. Initial setting is just beyond current day, after discovery of a means to travel via wormhole to other 'parallel' universes or to distant locations in our own universe. Characters will work for a government group beginning the early exploration of these worlds. Destinations could include other planets, historical 'echoes' of our own world, or completely different versions of our earth. [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
