An
RPG played by myself and a few other
BBSers some time ago. The basic premise was simple: the
US of A had collapsed from an apocalyptic war or what have you. Warlords and serfdoms spring up all throughout the country and general
havoc runs amuck.
Enter the player. Everybody would assume control of a state, or a province of Canada, and proceed to conquer the rest of North America. Like most BBS games of that age, the rules were really non-existent and based mostly on common sense and fairness.
I have pondered on one day reincarnating the game in the more structured format of C, but that is a story for another time.
