HI GUYS alloydog shep oldschooldm squirmydad Vermin King RHWorldbuilding marcpasquin Rhannon and everyone that is interested following the great idea of play by mail here on the forum i did a rough concept of what we could realize.... it s a sort of pen and paper game played by mail.... the idea is that there a gamemaster (i offer myself being i the one making the suggestion) and player that send him his turn actions privately, then the gm examinate elaborate and give weekly a response of what happened during the turn this is a rough concept in an image it s subject to changes so everyone please give me your ideas everyone is wellcome to join the more we are the more the game could became epic!!!!! i think that it can be alway open to new player.... and those who get bored can quit and other can join in charge or that faction.... anyway take a look and everyone should make his own flag so that i can use them in the game i wait your replys guys

I'm sorry, I'm out... Just got loads of RL work in, so once more I have to cut my hobbies short. It's not like the guys writing the articles for that magazine had three months to do their stuff. No, they send me all their content within the last week before the deadline for text correction... And guess what, no matter how much I complain, it will be the same in three months' time...

It sounds interesting, but right now I can't really participate, though I encourage the effort. Trying to keep the businesses afloat while being ill for far too long, and trying to accomplish paper projects eats up all the available time.
But I am doing better somewhat. I vacuumed half my living room yesterday

Never played anything like this, so I’ll probably be terrible. But I’d love to try it! I’m in!,

AntohammerSounds interesting. I was thinking about something similar, but less graphics and just really focusing on the military side of things. So, please count me in as a player.

yeeeee two guys !!!!! i said two guys!!!! we are growing here now new recruits are needed.... YOU THAT ARE LURKING.... WE WANT YOU TO JOIN!!!! anyway RHWorldbuilding the first time for me too i hope the result is good alloydog great man great ;D i start working on a rulebook!!!! i understand what you say about less graphical, i think that graphic in the end is not so important in a game like this but it adds a bit of sugar on top.... about military side of the thing.... well that s my main problem.... i wanted to use the triplea as fight system becouse it allows me to do it without dragging a battle for too long... but every suggestion is wellcome i hope to show you something better tomorrow... now we need more players

HI GUYS I did the icons for the game... i m working on a rulebook... i ll try to keep it simple but if you have suggestions let me know i was thinking to go for the Nonhistorical early 1900 .... do you like it? or would it be better fantasy??' anyway here s the icon pack 1 there are towns, that will generate money, one of the four materials of the game fortress, that will give defensive bonus to the garrison farms, will produce food, the second material factory, that transform minerals in products mine, that extract minerals. you ll need money to build towns, farms, mines and factory, to produce soldiers you will need food, products and money but every unit will have a different production cost then you can see little flags i plan to use them around the country during invasions. The idea is that when one invade the country of another, he dont gain controll of the territory before a pace agreement if one loses all the territory obviously he cannot partecipate to pace negotiations..... aniway i hope you like the idea of pace negotiations after battles.... something like i give you this territory and an amount of money but please make peace!!!! lol every suggestion is wellcome guys

Is there any setting notes? Presume medieval. Ancients? I guess that will be clearer when units are described. Rather hope you make some based on your minatures. Will work on flag tonight. Cheers!

I’ve been wrapping up a batch of Minis for my Patreon (I’ll post pics later today), so I’m way behind on this! So sorry!
I’ll look at the rules today and get myself together with a flag and such. It looks great Anto, thanks for doing all of this!

Antohammer OK, I have downloaded the rulebook and given it a quick read-through. I'll come up with a country name, capital city and flag this evening.
