Introduction

What is this game?

This is a fantasy-based game of politics where players take on the roles of world leaders/advisors/generals. World information is posted online (here) but all play takes place through snail mail. You will receive, every month or two, a Status of the World, a response to your actions, and correspondence sent to your character, either from an NPC or from other players. You will then respond to the GM with what actions you wish to make (the options will be detailed on another post).

So will I play a character?

Yes! You will play the leader of a nation, or a nation's advisor, general. You will get to control your nation as well as your character. The characters will be pre-generated, but each one will be awesome. You will fill out a player survey at the beginning, and a character will be matched/adjusted just for you.

Will I get to RP with other people?

Of course! You can chose to form alliances or rivalries with any country you wish - and in some cases those may already be part of your nation's history. A few select people may choose to work with a partner, in which case you will both share your nation's actions and responsibilities. There may also be a chance for a get-together or LARP as the game progresses.

Why is the player list secret?

You won't know who else is playing the game so you can't communicate outside of the official channels. We don't want to give an unfair advantage too ne person over another because of who they know. Also, it will increase the risk you'll feel posing an alliance or truce!

Where can I find out more information?

More information will be released and updated on this blog as the game is written and prepared. Once you have been invited and you have completed the Player Survey, you will be considered an active player.
