We
are about to begin the greatest Algol adventure R. Talsorian ever published. Each Episode
will be scedualed to done every week, so it is within that week you should reply your
character's actions, or actions will be done for you. Two things to note, is that all
Epsiodes will be sent in HTML rich format to the Rimfire List which may include pictures,
but not to worry for those you receive only plain Text format, as each e-mail will be also
posted at the Algol Project within 12 or 24 hours of the posting exactly like it was sent.
Furtherer more some events and episodes will differ from the published original because it
is our game, it is aslo because we are playing the game in as PBeM in MZ rules despite
slight rule mods, to fit the contradictory information a bit better, and finally to keep
you on your toes. I assure you that the latter, will be implemented as much as possible by
me, while still maintaining the essence of the Module. How many of you have read all the
GM parts and plot outcomes? I don't know, and I plan to keep you guessing in the details,
while the same general events of Rimfire still play out.
Example: Marci D'able isn't the
suicidal mole her character is set up to be in Episode 1 anymore. (I can't tell you more
or that will be telling.)
Anyhow, I'm sure they way you guys will want to explore and
do actions not covered in the module will also make a differance in how our story plays
out.
PS: Unlike the Episodes, only this
Prelude will not be a week cycle limit, Episode 1 comes out by Next Friday...though
the Prelude also doesn't require interaction on your part either if you choose not too, as
the Prelude is only placed primarily to gear you guys up for Episode 1.
Forgive any 'speeling' or grammer. Mistakes. : )
Additional:
Events comment by PCs and such are
mostly arranged in as they are submitted, so there may be at times inconsistancies in the
conversations. As GM and Editor of our PBeM, I've tried to arrange the conversations
to make sense.
One other thing I do, is at times, take
control of characters as to speed the story along. If there was a problem with the
writing by the the PC and what his character says under my command, comprimises were made.
Currently the story cycles in bi-weekly
push, where Fridays and Tuesdays the story is purposely pushed foward to the next event;
most of the time. Some allowance of finishing a previous event by other characters
is allowed to fill in the gaps this sometimes causes due to circumstances outside the game
and the such.
For now that is all.
PBeM Mechanics
There are a few PBeM Operations that need be said as to
standardize for all to enjoy our game.
Abbriviation Meanings:
LOL => Laughing out Loud
LOF => Line of Fire; Interchangeable with LOS, but LOF is usually applied when there's
the risk of something or someone other thant the intentended target getting hit.
ROFL => Rolling on the Floor Laughing
LOS => Line of Sight; Interchangeable with LOF.
