Attention AMRNers: For those of you in the U.S., your citizen-soldiers-RPGers need your help! For those of you NOT in the U.S., your fellow RPGers need your help! Ziggurat Con is currently scheduled for 9 June 2007, from 1200-2100 hours at Camp Adder/Tallil Airbase in Iraq. Billed as the first RPG Con to take place in a war zone, many military personnel are coming together to celebrate their

The AMRN is happy to present the Free Play Area. This area is open to anyone who wants to play a game. You don't have to ask permission to start your own campaign; all you have to do is click the "Start New Thread" link! There are a few guidelines: This is, for the most part, an unregulated area of the AMRN. Admin will not interfere unless specifically requested to do so by a player or GM.

Freenode, the IRC server used by the AMRN for chat, has been hijacked. It's highly likely that your password for Freenode is now known to the hijackers. If you use that password anywhere else online, go and change your accounts immediately. I suggest that the AMRN stop using Freenode entirely. I'm not sure what could be used as a replacement, but it's obvious that Freenode isn't as secure as

First and foremost, commitment. A GM must post often to move the game. Extended absences, and long breaks are simply not acceptable. This is a statement of practicality. Real Life does happen, and it can interfere, but as I stated when I became Admin, the game should be a place one goes to because of Real Life, not in spite of it. Second, an agenda. A GM should have a direction, and a desire to

Welcome to the Anime-Manga Roleplaying Network. This site hosts anime- and manga-based roleplaying games created by site members and developed using the Window gaming system. We are play-by-post, meaning all action occurs on message boards. The things that are prized most highly in our games are creativity, style, and realism according to the laws of anime. This last, of course, varies depending

I watched the first episode of a weird anime today, called Karakuri Zoushi Ayatsuri Sakon (aka Puppet Master Sakon). The premise essentially involves murder mysteries solved by a young man and his bunraku puppet, who happens to be alive [Edit: or not...? See the thread for details]. (Yeah, I know. Please consider that I am also into an anime about a boy, a board game, and a ghost from the Heian

I told you guys I would announce a winner for this! Sure it took four months, but hey!(At least I didn't wait until 2004, right? ^^;;)In this purely subjective contest, I picked the limericks that I liked the best based on content and on how the story flowed. I wasn't too stringent about beat-counting; if it sounded remotely like a limerick, it was fine in my book. I only judged limericks that

It's been awhile since we had a contest around here, and since I'm feeling generous...I'd like to give you all the chance to win some Macross-related stuff. (What exactly that stuff will be remains to be determined. Expect something digital though.) What do you have to do to win this contest? Easy: Write the BEST MACROSS LIMERICK EVER. It can be related to one of the Macross series, video games,

In order to handle the influx of new cadets, Macross 2051's UN Spacy Academy now has a recruiting office. From now on, instead of going to a particular GM or moderator's email address, all applications should be sent to academy@unspacy.com. Applications that are not sent to the proper address will be deleted unread! Cadets who are already in the system do not need to resubmit their applications,

Time off? Hah!Since stepping down as Macross 2051 Admin, I've been spending my time working on the Macross 2051 website. I have created an entirely new design for the site that should make it much easier to add new content, and hopefully also easier to find what's already there. You'll note that several new sections have been added, mostly story-centered. I'm hoping that hosting information from

Making its way around fansub circles is a new translation and encode of the first episode of Macross 7 by a relatively new group called Anime-in-Action. As 7 is both very relevant to our Macross 2051 games and unfortunately unavailable to many of us, a new fansub offers the promise of broader distribution of canon information...not to mention a fabulous, yet frequently overlooked anime. The

As of today, I am resigning my position as Macross 2051 Admin to focus on my site and cross-game responsibilities. With my attention free to concentrate on improving the website and the AMRN as a whole, I will finally set about fixing and completing things that have been left undone for too long. On the agenda are revising and improving the Fuzion guidelines and the Players Handbooks, and
