Several Chaos Towers and Goblin Cities have fallen and attacks on the Imperial strongholds are imminent. Of the original 32 player factions, 20 remain. We are now signing up players for three games of Eldritch, all running under the version III engine. You can find the latest Eldritch rules (V3.06) at: http://www.pbegames.com/eldritch/#official3 The following games of Eldritch are currently signing up new players: ------------------------- Eldritch G101 Trials of the Hunt - Trials of the Hunt is a close-ended game of Eldritch III. Trials is designed as a FREE introductory game, and runs for 12 turns. Each player begins the game with a small faction and is free to do with it as they like. As an added competitive element, players can hunt for victory flags. The demi-human Wild Tribes carry flags and banners as a mark of pride. Players accumulate victory points by capturing and holding these flags. The player with the most victory points when the game ends is declared the winner. ------------------------- Eldritch G201 Cauldera of Kings - This game is a close-ended victory point game with a high degree of conflict and warfare. A full introduction to the game and signup information can be found at: http://www.pbegames.com/signup/#G201 A brief excerpt from the introduction: It was a time of chaos... With the Kingdom in disorder with an empty throne, the noble houses must find the next King. The King's Council, supported by their personal guard, control the capital of Calderis in the heart of the kingdom. They have declared the noble houses unfit to rule the Kingdom and themselves the permanent High Council of Caldera. The Imperial Guard has refused to follow the Council, choosing instead to take control of the other central cities of the realm. The noble houses control their own fiefs, but until one rises to reestablish the old order, chaos. It is time for a leader with a strong will and iron hand. One of the noble houses will rise to rule the Kingdom. Who will it be? ------------------------- Eldritch G400 - This is a standard open-ended game of Eldritch with no victory conditions. Any number of players may join at any time. More information on this game can be found at: http://www.pbegames.com/signup/#G400 =================================== Monsters!
