Description:

New London is the official online game for Visionary Entertainment's The
Everlasting.

The Everlasting is a game with thirteen playable races including Vampires,
Angels, Gargoyles and Godlings. You don't have to have played the game
before, or even played in a forum game, as New London has been designed to
be a great introduction to both The Everlasting and online gaming, and
Play-by-Post (or PBP) forum-based games.

The New London game is currently played out over a Forum, you can take a
look there to see the kind of things that are going on, and watch the game
progressing. It also has some really great features such as an online
character database (so you can submit your character sheet online),
viewable character profiles (with backgrounds, descriptions and pictures
of the characters) and viewable, password-protected sheets. It also has
it's own system for resolving challenges that allows you to draw tarot
cards and view previous draws made by other players, a database of
material use can use for your characters that's been submitted by our
players, a newspaper with loads of funny and informative stories about the
city, and even it's very own radio station, Wirelight, that plays music to
set the mood for the game, and has in-character new reports.

You can find all of this information by browsing our website through the
links above, or through looking at the sitemap provided at the bottom of
this page.

You don't have to know the system or buy the books to play the game,
although it's suggested that you read the Basic Training File provided
free of charge on the website.

After that, if you are a little confused by all the stats on the sheet,
one of our Guides will happily create a character sheet for you from a
character concept and/or background that you provide to them.

If you ever have any questions, feel free to email our Guides at

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Beneath the smoking skies of southern Louisiana, sinking slowly into the
swamps and clinging desperately to the banks of the Mississippi as it
rolls southwards towards New Orleans, is the crumbling Cajun city of New
London.
Founded on the disparate dreams of a better life by the mortals and
Eldrich too young to know any better, those dreams refused to grow in the
hollow earth, and New London became a city much like any other slowly
being swallowed by its own desperation.
Now lines are being drawn on that hollow earth and something as
incomprehensible as the void and as vast as the star-scattered sky is
shifting beneath its skin. The whole city shivers with its coming and,
against the marshy, mist-coiled night, alliances are being formed and
broken like touch-paper.
Something is coming, something is stirring, but no one seems to know what
it is, and all that desperation keeps on spreading like salt in the
marsh-water . . .

Do you believe in hope?
