That's not Japan's fault, it's China ***king with them/us!
You are just in time Rin for another ole story soiree! This time a bit more focused, driven and organized! Check out the ROTE - TFHS boards!
As of this moment, Hale, Hop, Me, Basileus (George), and by obligation you!, are part of the brewing rooster (sic) right now. All are welcome!
We of course don't aim to match Sy and Med's longevity, so it's more of a campaign with inter-meddling parties each player/writer takes up and a pre-determined end point for the over-arching plot that results in resolution of the campaign. You can essentially take up any character(s) or angle imaginable that could fit in to the time, setting and plot.
There's tons of info on the background story/plot devices in the boards themselves in the form of snazzy visuals and text story mission guides and a nice concise "rule" thread that mostly amounts to common sense of co-op writing interaction. Honor simming you could say.
