Prologue
In the Age of Ancients, the world was unformed, shrouded by fog: a land of gret cragsm archtrees, and everlasting dragons. But then there was Fire, and with it came heat and cold, life and death, and of course, light and dark.
Then, from the Dark, They came: Nito, first of the dead. The Witch of Izalith, and her daughters of Chaos. Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight. And a furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten. They challenged the dragons with lightning and fire, with a miasma of death and disease. The scholar, Seath the Scaleless, betrayed his own kind, and the dragons were no more.
Thus began the age of fire. But soon, the flames will fade, and only Dark will remain. Even now, there are only embers, and even death itself cannot long last. --- Sign-ups are underway; we currently have 17 players and could use around 6 more. The current list is below: I'll be posting some basic game concepts soon. For now, I will say that it will not be a Gastard game, exactly, and it will be fundamentally a Mafia game in structure. CatinaSuit, texcat, and Lightfoot have all agreed to help out with moderation. The setup will be mostly closed, and there will most definitely not be any vanilla roles. There will be a substantial number of opposing factions, and elements of shifting loyalty and off-board player interaction , including between-player private messaging borrowing a bit from Mazalan (albeit on a much more limited scale!). CURRENT SIGN-UP LIST 1. gnarlycharly 2. Chameleon 3. Mahaloth 4. peekercpa 5. Hal Briston 6. BillMc 7. Colby11 8. Silver Jan 9. dizzymrslizzy 10. patricia 11. Meeko 12. guiri 13. bufftabby 14. abstain 15. swammerdami 16. Suburban Plankton 17. Inner Stickler 18. Chronos

Well, at the moment, that makes 2. Tough to balance. :-)
I'm not totally sure whether this is going to happen. There really haven't been a ton of folks around this board lately - the post counts for the games have gone way down and relatively few people are even visiting. Should we try recruiting elsewhere, or just table this one for a while? I'd hate to run a bowdlerized version of this, as it would kind of miss the point.

That's seven.
1. gnarlycharly 2. Chameleon 3. Mahaloth 4. peekercpa 5. Hal Briston 6. BillMc 7. Colby11
Which is an awesome roster so far, but probably only about a quarter of the way to where we'd end up in a perfect world. If anyone is willing/able to talk up this game in other locations, I'd be very appreciative.

Suffice to say, properties and powers of gems should be consistent, and identifiable by color. /IN

Moving along now, but more would be better :-) I'll get the board set up later today. My ideal circumstance would be to start the game a week from tomorrow (Tuesday, June 17), but that's contingent on getting the roster filled well before that.

Well I think we are all splitting hairs. Iirc, There was a hedge to the effect of "not exactly" gastard. I was commenting on gastardness to imply that I will not be holding this game [[with respect]] to a level of consistency, such as I held the gems of the last game. That is, I'm expecting curveballs. I wasn't expecting the curveballs that the last game had.

I think six more would make a playable game; ten more would be great, and twelve more would be ideal.

Yes, it does. I've revised the introductory post to include a bit of color and some refined introductory information.
