New: Zuul's Arena (free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg, sports) From: lindahl@pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Wed, 02 Oct 2002 19:14:23 +0000 Name: Zuul's Arena Costs: free Frequency: one per week Email: there_is_only_zuul@hotmail.com Type: gladiator management Last-Update: 2002Sep30 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg, sports Description: As of now, a website has not been created for this game. I may plan to set up one, but for now it's just email. Please note that this game uses the 3rd Edition D&D rules. You don't need to know any of it: all of the rules are used behind the scenes. ZUUL'S ARENA In this game, you take the role of a gladiator manager. That is, you don't actually fight, but you hire, pay, and take care of your gladiators. Your main objective is to acquire as much money as possible, and your only source of income is the crowd. You input your actions during the week, and all fights occur on Saturday, perhaps carrying over to Sunday if it is a lengthy tournament. What you will actually do in the game: -Hire gladiators for the fee they demand (or plea for) -Arrange matches for your warriors (or wizards, trolls, giant bugs, ect.) -Acquire powerful magic items to equip your beasts of war. -Win or lose prestigious tournaments (to the benefit or defecit of your budget) -Make announcements to the public in order to put your gladiators on the pedestal or shoot down your enemies. -Arrange special matches for very special rivals. Those experienced or new to PBEMs are welcome, and there are all levels of participation. Those who do nothing during the week, well, will do nothing during the week. More participants is better, and the more participants, the more gladiators that will be ready to hire.
