[RQ-Rules] Thoughts, and are there any online games around?

[Lev Lafayette]

Trying to stay vaguely on topic, I run a very heavily
RQ-inspired pbem based on 16th century Malay
archipelago.

The game has been running for some several months now
and is quite stable, but more players is good. Are you
interested?

Kind regards,


Lev
