UK Players for a postal (Royal Mail) RPG Game

Hi all,

I'm looking for UK players interested in playing for free in the old-fashioned 80s/90s way of postal turns printed on paper and sent in an envelope via the Royal Mail. The game will be an RPG in the vein of Saturnalia and was most recently run as The Isles in about 1990 - so very old school.

Startup will be slow as I'm waiting on materials being created by a few third-party artists - But if anyone wants to register their interest, do let me know - website will be up in the next ten days

Thanks,

Roy

Hi there,

If you follow the Dropbox links posted above there's a Game Guide, a Map and a Character Creation sheet in PDF form - if you fill out the CCS and return it to the email address at the bottom of the form I'll get you setup

Thanks,

Hi all,

Quick update on this - The game is now being run for free as any profit / benefit from charging for turns would be minimal. Also, because it works so well we will be running the game via email so players from anywhere are welcome
