New: Arkham (free, open-ended, email, human, modern, rpg) From: donotreply@pbm.com (PBM List Autoposter) Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2004 07:13:05 +0000 Name: Arkham Costs: free URL: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Arkham_rpg/ Frequency: Players should submitt at least 4 posts per week Email: demonics_inc zat hotmail.com Type: freeform buffyverse/cthulhu mythos Last-Update: 2004Apr21 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, modern, rpg Description: The college-town of Arkham Massachusetts is center to one of the largest and most infamous Hellmouths ever on record. The home of the most hellishly alien of unspeakable Evils ever seen before; and the likes of which this world has never seen since. But it has laid dormant for over sixty years. The activity it had wrought all those years ago has since passed into mere legend, thanks to the effort of the Watcher, H. P. Lovecraft; now long-dead. They believed the Hellmouth in Arkham long closed. They were wrong. *** Arkham is a free-form role-playing game, in which elements from both the BuffyVerse, and The Cthulhu Mythos are combined. Since it is free form, there are no dice and stats, and the rules - such as they are - are freely available within the file section of the group. Do not worry if you are unfamiliar with either the Mythos, or the BuffyVerse. Since this is a free-form game, I do not rely heavily upon the books, traditional rpgs, movies, or tv-shows; so you'll still be able to play. All potential players are required to complete and submit a character sheet for approval. Only Made-Up Characters allowed. Please be aware that there is the potiential for adult themes, and while posts will be rated (NC-17, R), you should take this into concideration before you apply.
