Well, now that you’re here, and have probably looked around a little, you might be wondering what the deal is with this site. Are we a general roleplaying board? Or one massive roleplay? Well, we’re both. Empire Game is an attempt at something relatively new in the forum roleplaying. Since 2002, Empire Game has been around, growing and evolving as time went on. This is the latest version, a new style.

In the past, we existed as mostly one thread, where everyone did everything. Wanna make that new superlaser, one thread. Wanna go to war and kill every last one of your enemy, same thread. Wanna just have a arty and eat some cake, same thread. Invariably, it all ended up as war after arms race after war after arms race. It was brought to our attention that this was ‘boring’. So for you, we’re changing it up!

Empire Game is still at its heart, a vast universe of infinite possibilities, just like it always was. But now instead of having a god-like view of everyone’s empire, or republic or what have you, you will only see what you should’ve only seen in the first place. We’re going for a more traditional style of RP now. All you have to do is make an RP, or find one, but here’s the catch, you can do whatever you want! Want to be on an interstellar cruise ship? You can make an RP about it. Want to be a group of pirates who plunders cruise ships like that? You’re in luck, because you can do that. You’re free to make RPs about whatever you want.

Here’s the new part. All of those RPs are connected. That cruise ship exists in the same universe as the pirates. Which means, those pirates could attack that ship. And another thread about some ambitious officer in a newly developed imperial navy could come to their aid. It’s all interconnected, from the characters, to the plots, to the settings.

As such, we heavily encourage having lots and lots of characters and being involved in lots and lots of RPs, that is if you’re schedule permits. If you want multiple accounts to keep track of your characters, that’s fine, just make sure we know that they’re your multis, don’t pretend to be a new member.

Just remember, you can always ask if you're completely lost.
