I start pregame for Time Under Chaos.

I think they're enjoying themselves ...

They're using the wiki to build the most amazing game website for Time Under Chaos.

And today I want to draw attention to bushi7's art gallery - where the trumps by players like arden_ranger and kadath are 'hanging'.

Don't worry, darlings ... you'll all be asked to the Open View ...

I imagine most players / lurkers will have registered this by now, but I've set up a community for Time Under Chaos (at timeunderchaos). People are very welcome to join.

We're starting off with polls to choose casting for the Elders in the game, based on the excellent polls and discussions that immlass ran a few weeks back.

I now have a full quota of players, which is not wholly surprising - as everyone either played in Enclaves, or asked for a slot as soon as I started talking about the game - in some cases months ago.

So ... now I'm signing up lurkers. If anyone wants to lurk, please let me know - and indicate if you'd rather have a digest than individual posts. It WILL be a heavy posting game, but I think it will also be interesting to read. Hopefully it will also be logged, but I can't guarantee this at this stage.

I will be drawing new players from the ranks of lurkers. At the moment, there are no spaces, and if a couple of players drop, I don't expect I will immediately fuill their spaces. But I do expect there to be flux and change over time.

And now the Game That Should Not Be Mentioned ... CAN Be Mentioned!!!!

It will be called Time Under Chaos.

And here's the premise ...

Amber won the battle - and lost the war. The Battle of Patternfall was won - and then the storm passed over, and in its wake ...

The Pattern was gone. Order should have been gone from the Universe with it, and yet ...

Rumour says that Corwin's Pattern survived - a new Order. But its whereabouts are lost; no-one except Corwin knew where it was inscribed - and Corwin is lost.

A hundred years have passed. A hundred years of Chaosian occupation of Amber. The Chaosians have installed their own puppet-King on the throne of Amber - Merlin, who is still a heedless, irresponsible youth, more interested in getting drunk with his cronies and outraging the citizens of Amber with his wild exploits than in ruling; power resides in the hands of his elder half-brother Mandor, and those of Amber who have thrown in their lot with the former enemy.

But there are those who oppose the status quo - those who would foment rebellion. The penalties are hideous if they are caught, but still some dream of a time when Amber will be free of the alien domination.

So where do you stand?

Are you one of those Amberites who are working with the Chaosians, resigned to doing the best for your people by collaborating with the enemy? Or perhaps you have an eye to the main chance, and have discovered that loyal service to Chaos brings pleasures of its own? Perhaps you are a Chaosian,stationed in Amber (which you might see as your penance, or a pleasure). Perhaps you are one of the King's young and heedless friends. Or perhaps you are - covertly or openly - a member of the Resistance; fighting in Arden with Julian or, more mysteriously, with Caine.

As ever, we'll welcome lurkers!

And adore the icon - it's the game logo, designed by bushi7

I've just bought the pdfs of Amber and Shadow Knight to help me prepare the rules for the new Amber game.

I think I'm getting excited.
