Aeropaeia No Frames Page

Aeropæia is a world that I created for use in the Role Playing Game “Dungeons and Dragons®”. It is intended to be a non-evil game that can be played by God fearing folk — be they Christian or Jew.

If you have never played an RPG before, you might want to click on the “What is an RPG?” link. Otherwise, read on.

I based my games very loosely on the game rules set forth in the D&D® rule system for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons®. For me, as it was written in the 1st edition Dungeon Master's Guide®, it is the spirit of the game, not the letter of the rules that makes the game entertaining. I run my games with role playing in mind, vice roll playing — meaning, I much prefer people to get into the role of their character, and not worry so much about the rolling of the dice.

People who enjoy filling out the depth of their character with detail (perhaps his genealogy and complete biography) will enjoy my game a lot more than those who like to ensure that everything I do when running a game is letter perfect in comparison to the rules in the various books published for AD&D®.

I have created a complete world, right down to different currencies, along with a new style of doing magic for clerics (sorry, there are no mages in my world). There is a history of how certain cities came to be, and which tribes of what race owned certain tracts of land. Wars were fought in times past, and borders and nationalities have changed back and forth. Great cities from the past have become lost ruins, and tiny villages have blossomed into sprawling metropolises.

This game will be played by eMail (see the “PBeM” link towards the bottom) and I would like to get at least one turn out every week — although, I understand that life very often interferes, and this cannot always happen. Game moves will be posted in the Yahoo! Groups eMail group “Aeropaeia” back and forth between the various players (bearing in mind that the DM [me] will have final say as to whether or not something would cause a reaction from the world around the players.)

Once I have all the moves from the players, I will take all of their actions, have my world react to them, and post up in both the eMail list, and on this web page a final, prose style, game move. Sometimes there will be maps or other illustrations that will be on this web page that will not be in the eMail group.

If this sounds like a game you would like to join, eMail me at aeropaeia@yahoo.com or got to Yahoo! Groups and sign up on the list “Aeropaeia.” Lurkers (those who just wish to watch and not play) are more than welcome.

There is a link called “Rules” down below that will explain to any potential players more about what I expect from players and what I offer the players.
