New: Zhenoma (free-moderation, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg) From: lindahl@pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Sat, 06 Jul 2002 07:13:01 +0000 Name: Zhenoma Costs: Free URL: http://www.zhenoma.com Frequency: 5 per week Email: wimble@att.net Type: 3E D&D Fantasy Last-Update: 2002Jul04 Keywords: free-moderation, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg Description: Zhenoma is a medieval-esque game world that became a PBEM campaign in 1997. Most of the world is presently enjoying a precarious peace. The Truce of the Gods is now 400 years old, and many fear that the truce may soon come to an end so that the war for control of the world's worshipful may be resolved once and for all. On the human scale, the recently-founded Ganmedic Empire is beset by political difficulties within and barbarians without. The threat of war looms everywhere. The game uses 3d Edition D&D rules, and mixes homegrown adventures with published modules adapted for play in Zhenoma. Some of these modules include those developed for Planescape(TM), the multiplanar adventure setting created by TSR, then taken over by Wizards of the Coast. Although most people on Zhenoma know little or nothing of the planes, the fact is that the world is riddled with planar gateways and portals, opening the entire multiverse and all of its possibilities to adventurous souls. Openings in the game are rare, but lurkers are always welcome, and they always receive the first chance to fill any openings that do come up. [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
