Description:

The game takes place in (not very) slightly modified Tolkien's
universe. Game is already running for more than a month, but due to
several dropouts lacks several major players. Timing is 3rd age of
Middle-Earth, year 3005. The major difference from Tolkien's epic is
the complete absence of the Ring - it was removed to make the game a
strategy, not an epic of struggling against evil.

Before you do anything, visit the game www page. There you will find
all required information. Don't forget to pay at least a glance to the
Newbie Guide - the game is complex and is not one to be understood immediately.

Note that the game currently has only two positions open out of 20+
total - this means that if you want some country you better apply for
it faster. :)

BTW for those who don't want strategy: they can play some kind of
RPG in the world that is constantly changing independently of GM.
Unfortunately, such RPG elements are severely limited unless you
yourself make some effort to make them go.

Game Master,
Alexander Lomski.
