|:|:|:|:|:| THE PYROTO MOUNTAIN BULLETIN BOARD/GAME SYSTEM |:|:|:|:|:|
============================================================================
Welcome to Pyroto Mountain!
---------------------------
Congratulations for having obtained a copy of the Pyroto Mountain BBS! This
is Montreal's most popular, most talked-about BBS.
"The Mountain" is a Smash Hit!
------------------------------
Montreal has a lot of BBS's from which to choose, but ...
Why do people get up at 3:00 A.M. so they can get through to Pyroto?
Why have other boards around this city started looking a lot like Pyroto?
Why are people writing new boards that use Pyroto's gaming system?
Why did one enterprising soul set up a SECOND Pyroto board in the same city?
Why do many BBS's have entire sections dedicated to Pyroto chatter?
Why do entire FAMILIES play the game?
All these questions have one answer: Montreal loves Pyroto!
Now you can have a Mountain, too!
Wizards and Guardians
---------------------
Fantasy role-playing games are all the rage, these days. Pyroto takes the
concept one step further: a never-ending battle for domination of the
magic-laden slopes of a mystic Mountain. The players are locked in a
struggle to reach the Pyroto Pinnacle. Over the weeks and months, they
rise higher by answering the skill-testing questions posed by the Mountain's
extraordinary Guardians. As they climb, they gain the ability to cast new,
more powerful spells. But first, they have to learn how to USE them! One
careless move can spell disaster!
The Great Spirit
----------------
Overlooking this combat is a benign, though sometimes impatient Spirit: The
Spirit Of The Land, known and respected as TSOTL. He (she? it?) listens in
on the telepathic bands and assesses the very words of the wizards. If you
speak well, you gain TSOTL's Esteem, without which you can not ascend
to higher levels of power.
Your Role as Mediator
---------------------
YOU serve as the mediator between the wizards and TSOTL. In your posi-
tion as SERVANT OF TSOTL, you have power beyond the dreams of mortal
wizards. How you choose to use this power is up to you.
Scarey Things and Crafty People
-------------------------------
Other mysteries abound. Wizards try to fathom the nature of the gigan-
tic apparition known as The Seismoros Spirit. They repeatedly try new
variations with their spells, trying to find effective combinations. They
go to enormous lengths, seeking to earn TSOTL's Esteem, or to get more
of that all-important source of magical energy: MANNA!
The Pyroto Mountain BBS/Game System is played with passion. Be prepared to
have a magical battle erupting from your computer!
Why People Love Pyroto
----------------------
Pyroto is a world unto itself. In this microcosm, the wizards
- Experiment with various philosophies and forms of government.
- Become familiar with the effects of aggression.
- Become familiar with the problems of peace.
- Experience the ecstasies and agonies of power.
- Send interesting messages in an effort to gain Esteem.
- Earn a position of REAL responsibility, in which they become an
important part of the online community.
Pyroto is much more than a game -- as any dedicated wizard will tell you.
It is an absorbing, fascinating experience.
Ready to Start?
---------------
If you're willing to dedicate your computer, and some of your time, you will
be greatly rewarded. As SERVANT OF TSOTL, you can become highly respected
by the wizards, and learn much about human nature. Pyroto Mountain is a
challenge for all. May TSOTL guide you to great wisdom!
