Apr. 21st, 2005 08:49 amA new online fantasy RPG:
"Each player takes on the role of a scholar, from before scholarly pursuits became professionalized. You are cranky, opinionated, prejudiced, and eccentric. You are also collaborating with a number of your peers -- the other players -- on the construction of an encyclopedia about Ghyll. "
The catch: "Despite the fact that your peers are self-important, narrow-minded dunderheads, they are honest scholars. No matter how strained their interpretations are, their facts are accurate as historical research can make them."
So, yeah. Everything you write is true. So is everything everyone else writes. Fun, no?
