MIDDLE EARTH ROLE PLAY
[MERP]
Adventures by e-mail in Tolkien's world.

By the time you read this, you will be reading it on rec.games.frp*.group
and you
whant to play in a game. Well, yes, you can! I will not turn you down[unless
every single Human on the earth whants to play].
What is a PBeM?
+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+

PBeM stands for Play By Electronic Mail. Basically, in the context
of RPGs, this means that the game is played with players and Gamesmaster
communicating and sending moves to each other via email. ( Now, wasn't that
enlightening? ) It is a good compromise for those GMs and players who cannot
afford the time to play face-to-face or can't find a game in their area,
and who don't want to resort to a PBM, or a play by mail, game.
I have been thinking for ages about a MIDDLE EARTH interactive adventure
via e-mail, turns being messages.
I am your storyteller, Dungeonmaster[DM], and i will take you on a fantastic
journey
like Bilbo Baggins and you make the choices.
The adventure i will be running will be one where the player[PC] must
recover
the orb of the forgotten warrior.
To do this, you must journey from Hobbiton to the Blue mountains [Ered Luin]
where a forgotten Elven warrior lives in a cave, and has created a magical
item
known as "The Orb of the forgotten Warrior".
I will advise the role of a Hobbit to start off with, or a adventurer
seeking an
adventurer.
This game usess a Diceless Action [DA] rules system that lets YOU get on
with the
action, and no boring rule manuals!
To submit a character, send me an e-mail with details of the character you
will
role play with details such as~
*Name
*Race
*Sex
*Age
*History
*Personality
*Description
*Equipment
*Player e-mail

Send all this to~
                        MALINDSELL@CLASSICFM.NET
and you should hear reply within 2-5 days.
Avr. move rate is 2 turns per week.
Note on sending turns:
It is suggested
that you also use a nice format for your subject line, as in:-
Subject: [ Nordok, Move # 5:MERP]
    ( Where Nordok is the name of the player in this case. Oh? It's
not as good as Bilbo or Gollum. Well, sue me! )
P.S. if you have a role play web page, please tell them about MERP due to
the need
of players.
Thanx!
