HOW TO GET STARTED PLAYING IMPERIUM: THE GAME OF ROME

STEP 1: READ THE RULES.

I. Imperium is basically a role-playing game. Your Player Character (PC) can do pretty much what could've been done in the real world of Republican Rome, subject to the attached rules and the rulings of the UMPIRE.

II. The written rules have been created to help you understand what your PC may and may not do in the game and to give you a common frame-of-reference with other players. The rules outline the structure of Imperium's virtual world, lay out the game's administrative procedures, and detail how to participate in the game's more organized activities.

III. While you do NOT have to memorize all of Imperium's rules to play and enjoy the game, you should go through them at least once before you create your PC to get an overall idea of what's possible. You should also MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE ADMINISTRATIVE STUFF: how to communicate with the Umpire and other players, how to create a PC, and where to post your messages.

STEP 2: CREATE YOUR PC.

Send the following information to the Umpire by E-MAIL:

I. Select a scenario from this list of Scenarios

II. The name of your Player Character. Roman names are organized as: Prenomen - Nomen - Cognomen. Your PC must be a Roman Male. (Your PC's marital status (where applicable) and, if married, any children included in the scenario..

III. The e-mail address to which you want the Umpire and other players to send your private messages.

IV. Please include a short paragraph telling us who you are and indicating why you wish to join Imperivm.

That's all you have to do to get started. Good luck on your climb to the top!
