The Lexicon game is nearly ready for play, and even has a wiki now.

The game is one of collaborative world-building, where players write (in character) about a particular fictional incident, or place, or time. The setting for our game is steampunk fantasy - complete with gaslights and pointy hats - and the characters are all working for
 an institute that'd really like to investigate the portals that the city seems to have, but is first being made to write a guidebook on the city itself.

Once the game gets started, the time commitment players will be looking at is two articles a week, of at least 150 words, for thirteen weeks, with the option to defer a week's entries to later if there absolutely isn't time.

The game is at a kind of unofficial turn zero at the moment, for players to join and create characters and such. There's more information on the wiki, and at [livejournal.com profile] apathy_games, and if you have questions you're perfectly welcome to ask them.

So, if you're interested in playing, come and join us.

Oh, I signed up as Captain Oblivious before I saw the Magister thing. But then I thought, hey, maybe my character is a retired captain who's attached to the project by virtue of having been posted to portal-guarding duty a lot. That could work, yeah?

It was just a thing; I picked it up because it sounded kind of neat, though everyone's free to just make things up.

Your character could be a captain on secondment to the college, or a captain whose job is part of some sort of science or engineering corps, or as a former captain who's a graduate student working as a researcher, or... anything, really.

So, um, I know I was totally ignoring this when I wasn't sure I could get a reliable internet account, but I have one now so... can I play? *looks hopeful*

Can you play? I'm going to pretend you didn't even ask that. Of course you can play!

Just join [livejournal.com profile] apathy_games, and it should tell you all you need to know to join in. :)
