[AD] Mandragora Series: new RPG PBM From: "Bill Heron" <bill@novagames.u-net.com> Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 22:47:16 +0000 I've still got a few places going in my new play-by-mail game (short and to the point, eh?). Blurb and background below: The Mandragora series is Nova Games new role-playing PBM game set in the island kingdom of Lonaraban, a place of intrigue, treachery, and dark magic. In it, players take the role of one of the inhabitants of the Isle, the Mandragora. The Mandragora are a race magically created centuries ago to participate in a devastating war, by the War Wizards of the Etruscan Empire. With a need to create highly magical yet tough soldiers, the spell-casters turned to the most feared and magical creatures on the planet: the Dragons. The creators were wiped out in the War That Shook the Earth. However, their creations, the Mandragora survived, and in the years of famine and war that followed they roamed the lands searching for a place where they would no longer be persecuted or slain by a human populace that feared and mistrusted them. Eventually, their travels led them to the island of Lonaraban, a heavily forested isle of steep cliffs and towering mountains. As their SpellWind craft skimmed into the bay, the Gold Mandragora Matriarch leading the expedition named it Kal'ashiraah, or Bay of Hope, in the High Mandragora speech. Over the years their culture developed and cities were built. Their numbers increased, and each sub-species found their own caste. With the Gold Mandragora as their leaders their society flourished - and their Dragon heritage became more apparent. To this day, greed ambition, and treachery define a Mandragor's standing in their society. This is the world of the Mandragora Series. Take a variety of different roles - from the deadly Black Mandragora TunnelRunner to the mystical Silver Sacred Ones - and experience a whole new world... A start-up costs UK�10 (including a printed manual and two free turns), or UK�5 for an emailed version.
