Welcome to Tetra, a world of epic fantasy.  The night sky is dominated
by up to four moons.  There are no stars, yet occasionally a star
falls.  How odd.  But that is the nature of the world.  The races of
Tetra function at various tech levels ranging from Stone Age to
something similar to High Fantasy similar to that of Middle Earth.
Those familiar with worlds like Kulthea, Harn, or Greyhawk will have
a good feel for what to expect.

This is a game of survival, exploration, and discovery.  There WILL be
GM-guided adventures, the players being the heroes of the story.
Characters may come from other genres, but with an eye on balance
with regards to skills and gear.  This is a fantasy game.  Fair
warning to those from a sci fi setting, electronics are highly prone
to malfunction; computers are prone to possession.  Eventually you
will be left with little in the way of advanced technology and be
forced to rely on local means of survival.  And I am happy to offer
you enough rope to hang yourself with.  (No cyborgs or androids!!!
Do not ask.)  You might be from a shipwreck in the Bermuda Triangle.
Those falling stars just might be star travelers in lifepods.  Or you
might be a victim of a mystical accident from another fantasy realm.
(But local rules of magic will apply.)  Please no undead or
lycanthropes.

The game is human centric.  Non-humans will find entering human cities
more difficult.  Elves, while enjoying longer life spans than humans
are not immortal, require sleep, etc.  And they are not necessarily
on good terms with Man.  They have more magical aptitude, but also
more susceptible to magic.  We will be using GURPS 3e rules for
character creation, skills, spells, and gear.  But design the
characters with Hollywood flair.  I am not going to be strict on
points.  I just want a good idea of what a character can do in a
written format.  PC�s should be modestly well developed, with names,
appearance, demeanors, backgrounds, and gear.  Those who chose to be
native will need some help with backgrounds, gear and wealth.  You
will be better prepared to travel, have friends and enemies, know
local languages and customs, etc.

Players should be able to post 5 to 7 times a week, with average
lengths of posts not less than a few good paragraphs.  The game is
rated Mature (strong R), with military violence, alien horror, adult
language and situations. No children please.
