Greetings!

Some of you may remember me from before the Christmas season. I have been
gone for a while, as my PC decided that I hadn't spent enough money on it
lately, and decided to go haywire. But, it's much better now.

On to the important stuff: I am going to be starting a PBEM (that's Play By
Electronic Mail game, for those newbies out there) soon. It will feature the
following:

It will be using SR II rules, with some modification so it works with email.

We will be using Archtypes _only_. No self-created characters. There will be
some modifications to the archtype allowed, however.

Only one of any archtype can be in the group, and they will be given on a
first-come, first-served basis.

People who want to play must be able to log in on a fairly regular basis,
preferably at least once every 2 or 3 days, with a minimum of at least once
a week.

So, if you are interested in a sort of "back to the basics" SR game, just
send me a message that lists your first, second, and third choices for an
archtype. Once I have figured out who is going to be what, I will give
details on how you can modify the archtypes, and how the heck this thing is
going to run.
