A kind person (Zhanze Khan) has set up a new Group for us and I think we should now post there. Go to this address for the new Group, for which we still need to choose a name; “Testudo” and “Lustrum” seem to be the favourites at the moment. See my message board and that of my new persona Ancus Cornelius for my exchanges with Zhanze.

Perhaps those who have made comments on the proposed Rules in e-mail could re-post them in the new Group’s Rules Discussion thread. Any further discussions should go there too so everything is in one place.

The number of those who have said they will give it a whirl is now over half a dozen, approaching critical mass! However, there is still a lot of preliminary work to do, not just in agreeing the Rules, but also in preparing maps and the background details generally. Anyone know a good map of central Italy for this period?
