My Kalyr PBeM game has rather ground to a halt a few months back, which is mostly my fault, due to real life getting a bit hectic. All those gigs eating up my free time have something to do with it, I’m afraid.
We had rather reached the end of the plot cycle anyway. We’d concluding with a riot outside the Calbeyn Citadel and a jailbreak inside, and I was at a bit of a loss as to where to take things next.
So I’m proposing to relaunch the game, but what I’d like to do is make the PBeM an official part of the Kalyr RPG playtest. That means we’ll be using the playtest draft rules, especially the character generation stuff, using a variant of Fudge rather than GURPS. The game itself will continue on The Phoenyx mail server as before, rather than the playtest discussion list on Yahoogroups.
I don’t know how many of the original players are still interested in playing, so I’m putting out a call for both existing players and anyone new that wants to join. I’d like existing players to ‘re-imagine’ their characters using the new system. New players can build interesting new PCs from scratch.
I’d like to treat it as if it’s the start of a brand new game. That doesn’t mean that I’m rebooting the game; what’s happened in the game so far is still part of the continuity, and part of the history of any existing PCs. So we’ll advance the timeline a few months. Existing players, tell me what your PC has been up to in the intervening time.
