Genesis III, an online roleplaying game played via the forum, is just starting signups. As such, a board on the forum has been created to allow Sabres to register their interest, so if you’d like to play head on over and say so!

A planet floating in space.

The game represents the fifth game of Space Empires to be started on the Leicester Sabres forum. It is the third game that will be run by Tom Scott, previously forum administrator and holder of various Council posts. He returns to us virtually to organise this roleplay. It will be called Genesis III, and is a followup to Genesis and Genesis II: Exodus, which were also run by Tom.

If you’ve played Space Empires before you’ll be familiar with the basic premise, but a lot of the more fiddly micromanagement has been removed in this version of the rules. If you haven’t played before, it’s a game in which you create a race of aliens (or humans, if you’d prefer!) and roleplay your empire’s interactions with the other races in your part of the universe. It’s a lot of fun!

Genesis III joins two other online roleplays, Spells & Sabres and Space Empires IV, as forum-based games. If you want to play, go give them all a look.
