New: The Otherworld (free, open-ended, email, www, human, fantasy, rpg, abstract) From: lindahl@pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 16:13:07 +0000 Name: The Otherworld Costs: Free URL: http://personal.lig.bellsouth.net/~rho420/otherworld Frequency: 3 times per week Email: rho420@bellsouth.net Type: fantasy free-form pbem Last-Update: 2001Nov13 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, www, human, fantasy, rpg, abstract Description: In order to experience faeries you need to be in the quiet places of your spirit and remain open to anything magical. It is not just that we are surrounded by concrete, noise, and pollution, but that we have a difficult time attaining this open state. We are used to being in a rush - usually for absolutely no reason - filling every moment with schedule and filling every moment outside of that with the meaningless crap on television. In short, we have a human tendency to keep our eyes wide closed from the time we are old enough to tell time until we are dead and buried. In between, everything is mechanical and socially acceptable, "plant the flowers, but don�t look at them". Childhood has been sadly abbreviated, thus crushing enchantment, miracles, magic and wonder into a short little allowable span. Live this life, don�t wait for the next one. Enchantment exists where you let it. Not only in distant mist-clad lands covered in green mosses and magic, or green meadow, or mountainside or secret woodland glen. There are places on this earth where one need not step in conformity. The natural world provides all the portals one could ever need, if one is open to it. Preliminary character profiles are being solicited for the upcoming fantasy free-form pbem game, The Otherworld. The Otherworld is set in a Faerie Forest nestled between two villages in the early 1800's.
