New: Centre-Earth (free, open-ended, email, snail, human, fantasy, wargame, economic) From: lindahl@pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Sat, 01 Sep 2001 19:13:01 +0000 Name: Centre-Earth Email: gilesbartram@hotmail.com Frequency: every 1-2 months Type: Strategic fantasy wargame URL: http://www.penalva.net/~serge/centre_earth/ardacountries.html Costs: FREE Last-Update: 2001Aug18 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, snail, human, fantasy, wargame, economic Description: Centre-Earth is a grand-strategy game in which players control the various nations of the fantasy world of 'Arda'. Yeah, I know it's not original but I like the name. :) Each turn in Centre-Earth represents a month and turn-around time is approximately five-six weeks. The game is free and is run via email as far as is possible in order to speed turn around time and reduce costs but players without this facility are also welcome. At present we have filled the main positions but can accomodate more. The game world is very detailed and each player has the potential to influence any aspect of his/her country that they like - religion, politics, military, magic. You start by using a points system to design a detailed character as your country's ruler. Check out our website for detailed descriptions of each country that you can play plus maps, rules and everything else you could possibly need. There is also an active egroup that can be accessed from the main site. [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
