Cruenti Dei

[walter]

Cruenti Dei is a game of magic, diplomacy, and conquest in the epic fantasy tradition.

Each player begins the game in control of a Realm on the continent of Sahûl, preparing for conquest. By force of arms, sorcery and intrigue, the player’s Realm expands, always under the watchful eye of its patron god. Vast armies clash on the field of battle, and steel rings upon steel as eldritch power crackles through the air above.

This game is on the boneyard list.... But it is still alive and kicking!

[GrimFinger]

The PBM Boneyard is not merely a list of former PBM games, once no longer actively running. In includes active PBM games, as well. If you want to find the live games, then you must sift through the bones - the bones of PBM, so to speak.

That Cruenti Dei map sure looks tasty, Walt.

[Sardarthion]

Very much alive, and with several open positions!

Welcome aboard the site, Sardarthion!

[walter]

Yes welcome aboard.
It looks like a great game to me Sardathion?
Is it based on the Lords of the Earth pbm game?

[Sardarthion]

Thanks for the welcome!

CD and LOTE have a common ancestor, but they are wildly divergent games.

Resource management in CD is a challenge, in that players are tracking Gold, Arms Points (raw materials), NFP (national force points - manpower), Mana (magical energy), and individual spell crystals.

Not to mention the usual towns, cities, religious sites, armies, intel...

Sardarthion, nice website! It is refreshing to see a slick and modern PBEM website. Seems like so much of the PBM content on the web today was made in the 90s when we thought animated gifs and neon colored text atop textured repeating backgrounds were the bees knees.

Do you have any example turn results, by chance?

I noticed on the website that you can't actually read the rules without paying $25.

It would seem to me that freely available rules downloads could only help the popularity and longevity of a game.
