All,
This month marks the third aniversary of my favorite RPG in my little collection. Things have really changed in that amount of time and we're looking for new members for an increasingly active group. Avondale is slightly more complex than the 'average' play-by-email RPG in that it is a fully developed setting complete with a detailed photo section and maps of the city and surrounding area. A certain amount of historical knowledge of the era involved is an advantate in playing but not necessary. All of the ownership/management staff is happy to help ont in any way at any time and will gladly help a new member develop and introduce their new character. We also have a number of existing characters, in all walks of life, with existing story lines, that are available for 'adoption' by a new member. We are essentially a group of collective, creative writers working on an ever-developing and unending story.

WELCOME TO AVONDALE, LOUISIANA:
It is 1900 and the world is entering a new century. It is a time of rapid growth and expansion; a time of industrialization and commerce -- of waves of immigration to the land where "the streets are paved with gold". The United States has just engaged in it's first "foreign war" and has suddenly found itself with an unwanted and unwelcome "colonial empire" and comittments to far-away places and peoples. It is a time of transition in which old meets new. TR is in the White House and Queen Victoria is on the throne. Isolation is ending but the United States is still far from being a "global" power.
Avondale is a quintessential small town on the verge of becoming a city. Telephones, electricity, indoor plumbing and automobiles are all "new" and still seen as a novelty. Television, radio and the "movies" are still unheard of. The west is still "wild". There are only 46 states in rhe Union.
The citizens of Aavondale are faced with adapting to a way of life that is strange, new and yet strangely compelling. They stand on the brink with a foot in two very different worlds. Some of the children born in Avondale this year will live to see man walk on the moon -- yet remember a time when there was no such thing as an airplane. Some -- a bare handfull -- are still living today.
The "Victorian Age" is fading and the "new morality" of the early 20th century is coming and coming fast.
There are few "taboos" in Avondale. Almost anything goes. We are rated Hard R. Avondale is an active group. In our three years of existence it has grown to average just over 200 posts per month!
We are more than a group of gamers, we are an online community of friends...
Join us in Avondale -- where if you don't like the way history 'really' turned out, you can change it...
We are by invitation only!
