Description:

Caesar has been murdered as were the two Senate Consuls, Rome is in a
turmoil- rioting and burning take place in several quarters. This RPG will
not be following historic lines but creating and writing it's own history,
of what Rome might become after the death of Caesar. The Gaul to the north
look down on Rome in anticipation, their is unrest in some of Rome's
Provinces.

This is a RPG more of the power struggle on who will become the Emperor of
Rome, who will be the two Consuls to lead the Senate. Deception,
treachery, making friends- all will come into play as one tries to rise to
the throne. Assassinations of players may take place with exceptionally
well written plots, the final judges will be a poll and vote by the
players, admin favoritism is ruled out.

This forum has a cash mod for the transferring of denarii. A tax levy has
been set against the citizens and merchants, each month the treasury will
receive it's taxes. The Senate has access to the treasury, out of it must
be paid Legion upkeep, building new legions, keeping the granary filled,
repairs to the water aqueducts, sewer system, roads and buildings... all
costly to the treasury.

Generals of Legions must come to the Senate and ask for denarii to move
their troops. The Senators will debate on what they can afford to give the
General/s, they will then transfer denarii's into his account. The
General/s will then transfer the denarri to an admin when he moves his
centuria and/or cohorts, or even a full Legion. The Praetorian Guard will
police the Rome streets and protect the Palace, they also have forces in
the Provinces, their are also several Legions in the Provinces led by
Centurions.

Senators have access to the treasury and the possibility is their to
pilfer denarii out of it, their is no gain in doing that, only the thought
of getting away with it and the thought of enriching himself. If caught he
faces his peers and the possibility of banishment or death.

The Gaul forces will start off small and receive a random muster every
month, eventually they will come into play on how far they can go in
trying to defeat the Roman Empire.

The game is also open to females, a need for a Jewess Zealot who will lead
a small slave army and be a thorn in the side of the Romans. But other
roles are available for them, wives of generals and Senators, mistresses,
and whatever other roles they can think of will be created.

The web site is finished, but I want to give it one more good going over.
I will be away Sunday through Tuesday, but those interested please read
the Intro and Game Rules, create a character but please do not role play
until I come back and give the okay.

Thanks,
The Imperator
