Weeping Tale is built on the same grand scale as LOTR. It involves
various Powers which represent the ultimate good and evil, as well as
factions that represent gods that order balance and the slow decay of
independent city states and the insanity of the Wild.

Players play godlike beings who control their minions in an effort to
preserve or destroy, as is their focus. There is a sadness to the
game, as the beauty of a world fades, eaten by corruption and
darkness.

Powers (godlike beings) represent varying Colours, which decide their
focus in the game. There are elements of both strategy and rpg-ing.
The world itself has a soul � the Farstream, and souls enter there to
be preserved or reborn into other forms, known as the Eidolon.

Warfare is on a massive scale, and the scope of the game is Epic to
say the least. Turns involve many aspects, and warfare is represnted
with story telling and number crunching. Quite simply, it is the most
unique game you will ever find, and the satisfaction of playing is
high.

The forces are represented by the Light of Powers drawn to heavenly
beauty, The Dark which represent corruption, the Grey of balance, the
Colourless, who have a draconian control over their people, and the
madness and splendour of Nature, in it's many forms. You will a depth
uncontested by most backgrounds, and turnaround is weekly, which makes
the demand on your time at a level which won't destroy your enjoyment.

The cost is �5.00 per hour of moderation, which makes most turns
roughly �3.00. My GM'ing experience is laid over ten years, and I ran
Tribes of Crane and re-wrote it � a game that is the water-mark of
original PBMs. I can promise you something special.
