My name is Raven Zachary and I live in Portland, Oregon, USA. I was born and raised in a small town in Iowa. Hi there. I love the game, but it's not for everyone. It's a lot of data, and I have a bunch of spreadsheets to track planets, fleets, technology, colonies, etc. To get a flavor of what the game is like, check out the Player Aid and the Wiki I created for SuperNova: SuperNova Player Aid SuperNova.Wiki RE: Where do you hail from? - rredmond - 01-15-2020 New Jersey! Well South Jersey, so a suburb of Philadelphia. RE: Where do you hail from? - DreamWeaver - 01-24-2020 Southern New Jersey! USA. Yes and I am actually within Southern NJ, not Philly! Long live Midgard, and it's many versions. It is standing up once again under Davin Church with it's on forum here and now. Always looking for a few players to join the game or rejoin from the past. Always makes me think of Midgard and the Cymru faction of Kalmar RE: Where do you hail from? - rredmond - 02-02-2020 Good to see South Jersey folks around!! RE: Where do you hail from? - Kain - 03-03-2020 Long time PBM/PBEM player from the UK Started with Earthwood in the 80's and have being going strong from there ! Last year was probably my only year I had no games played. Seems plenty of activity with Midgard (which I use to play long time ago) RE: Where do you hail from? - rredmond - 03-04-2020 Earthwood was a for realz play-by-mail RPG right? Cool. Love to hear about that! RE: Where do you hail from? - Kain - 03-04-2020 Earthwood was more of a wargame PBM game. Started off with either a starting castle or as a wandering tribe. You could then try and take over castles or ally with NPC armies. Very hazy as it was a long time ago. Wish some-one still had some maps or the names of the races. I seem to remember there was "The Necromancer" and "The Sorcerer" were two of the wandering tribes. It was very enjoyable ! RE: Where do you hail from? - rredmond - 03-05-2020 Sounds really interesting, thank you for sharing! RE: Where do you hail from? - wraith - 12-07-2020 Hi! I'm Mike. Originally from Iowa; currently in the suburbs of Denver. I haven't played any PBM games yet. Long, long history of RPGs and turn-based games like Star Fleet Battles. I stumbled across a mention of Empyrean Challenge while doing some research on naval table-top games and it just hooked into my imagination somehow. I'm interested in space/interstellar games. I've seen a bit on here about SuperNova and some others. Good to meet y'all, Mike RE: Where do you hail from? - Davin - 12-07-2020 Welcome Mike/ronin! I run a game called Galac-Tac that's a space-oriented game, but it might not be the style you're looking for. It's a 4X type of game with limited players and a limited time span to win or lose. There are some PBM games still around that take place in space, but remember that PBM games typically have long gaps of time between turns - they don't run one turn immediately after another like you might be used to with other styles of games. |
