Warlords: Three Kingdoms

Holy crap on a crap cracker, this is a thing again?

I figured I'd drop in on SimRTK and see if anything was happening, for old times' sake, and saw a link to this in OOC. So what's going on and how do I get caught up? I take it we're in an intermission between a test game and a more serious game?

"Yeah, we got a few interesting people around." Gao Liang thought for a moment. King Xiang had almost said 'she' when referring to Shang Sun...an effeminate young man? A crossdresser? That could be unique. And eastern barbarian generals...well, the Qi bowed before the Qin, and the Qin wer...

Zhao Han merely grunted assent as he handed his sword to the guards, giving them the sort of look that a father might give a daughter's potential suitor a couple thousand years later. (As opposed to a look from the era that might have screamed, "Hurry up and get her off my hands!") He bare...
