(Skeleton was a PBeM that ran from March to November 2004. It was the largest Ground Zero adventure so far. This game is now complete, but like all our adventures, the archives are still available for your viewing pleasure.)
In the distant reaches of the Deadlands, legends among the scattered tribes of natives speak of a mythical place, the 'Skeleton Base'. Once a storage site for the magical weapons of the Ancients, it is said to be guarded by a great metal-skinned demon. Persistent tales over the generations have spoken of the base, of chance discoveries, and unerringly similar descriptions of the metal monster that still watches over this base - surrounded by the picked-clean bones of those who have fallen while attempting to defile this sacred place of the Ancients.
