Description:

Tarmellion is an open-ended computer moderated fantasy game for any number
of players. Players may attempt to carve out huge empires, become master
magicians, intrepid explorers, rich traders or any other career that comes
to mind. There is no declared winner of the game; players set their own
objectives, and one can join at any time.

It is based on the play-by-email game of atlantis, but was heavily
modified to suit the gamemasters idea of an email roleplaying game.

The standard atlantis ruleset although still valid in most places has been
modified in others. These pages should give all information to allow
someone who knows the standard ruleset to play tarmellion. People
unfamiliar with the atlantis game should perhaps read the outdated ruleset
first and then delve into the added information of this homepage. But
probably playing the game is enough to get to know it as all information
needed is provided with the reports.

There is a forum for the game where questions about the game can be posted
and will be answered by the game master and experienced players. So if you
have any problems with the workings of the game or need help in
formulating a successful strategy, please check out Tarmellion Forum.

Turns will be run on Thursdays. The order deadline is 12:00 o`clock (noon)
and the turn will be run between 12:00 and 20:00 o`clock depending on my
personal timetable. The timezone is GMT + 1 (Greenwich Mean Time plus 1
hour). There will be one turn a week, so there should be enough time to
fully roleplay ones faction.
