Welcome to New Moon.
 
The basic concept of New Moon is to allow an AD&D style area, while still
allowing for advanced High Tech areas.
 
To this end, the home world "New Moon" is where a player first logs in
and starts his/her/it's life of adventuring.  The home world is an
isolated world that doesn't have any contact with the high tech ways
of the off world planets.  Well, at least not very many people know
about it's connection to the off world realms.  There is one area
in a grassy field that has a 6' circle of silver balls that are
about 2' in diameter.  Some may recognize this as a transmat field
ala Dr. Who.  This will provide the connection to a remote part of
one of the high tech worlds.
 
Since this is an ancient transmat system, most (95%?) high tech
items don't survive the transmat trip.  Although this will allow an
occasional blaster to make it back (maybe with limited charges) so
that the irate player can blast that Ogre that's been such a pain
in the ass for so long.....
 
From the first high tech world, the adventurer will have to travel to
to a city to hitch a ride to other worlds, or just stay on that world.
Mind you gold might not be worth what it once was :).  The player
will have to earn credits, and generally integrate into the new
high tech world(s).
 
Transport ships will be available to get from one place to another.  There
may also be some form of transport beam.  Most worlds will have customs,
so only the good thieves will be able to move some of the more nasty
weaponry around from planet to planet.
 
New Moon Rules:
 
There will be very few rules on New Moon (we hope).  Mostly there will
be guide lines.  A wizard tapping a keg with a player or two will
be fine, let's just not take it to extremes, and have a party going
all the time.  Wizards are encouraged to login as players and check
out new areas.
 
Player killing will only be allowed between players that have agreed
to enter into player killing.  Once a player is a PK-er, they will
always be a PK-er.  Theft from players will only be allowed between
PK-ers.
