This is a double announcement.
1) It's a call for players for a new AD&D e-mail campaign
set in our world - The Numberless Islands.
2) It's a pointer to Web pages about the campaign world
that we think may be of more general interest.
We are hoping to gather a company of travellers to brave
the wilderness of an unknown world, explore the lives of
its peoples and make their mark in the records of its
chroniclers. To reach the Numberless Islands, these
travellers will have to be capable of making the perilous
journey through the mist-enshrouded paths of the World Wide
Web to:
<URL:http://www.iol.ie/~mazzoldi/dnd/>
These pages are open to any interested browsers.
The Numberless Islands are a low-key, moderately
"realistic" mediaeval fantasy world. Like LeGuin's or
Tolkien's worlds, the "feel" of the campaign comes from
giving the "realistic" elements a moderately coherent
historical and archaeological basis and giving the
"fantastic" elements some grounding in related mythology
and folklore. At the centre of the campaign are interactive
storytelling by players and DM and the creation of
atmosphere and involvement. If you're into roleplaying,
archaeology, hillwalking, interactive fiction or paganism,
you should enjoy playing in this campaign or reading the
Web pages.
The Web pages contain background information to give
players a better picture of the local part of the world.
We hope some of the ideas will be of wider interest, and
comments by prospective players and anybody else who's
interested are very welcome.
There is no charge or strings attached for playing in the
campaign, but places are limited for practical reasons. We
are hoping to get the campaign underway before the end
of August. Please do not reply directly to this message:
for information on how to join the campaign, contact
addresses, etc., please read the Web pages.
The campaign will be run in a modified form of 2nd Edition
AD&D; for further details see the Web pages.
Modified versions of this message have being posted in
a number of carefully chosen places; our apologies if you
come across it more than once.
