HORIZON IS OVER!

The webpage remains up as a permanent archive of game material, mainly for the benefit of nostalgic players - although if you'd like to run a Horizon-inspired game for your friends, that's wonderful too. Horizon will be succeeded by Legacyin Trinity term of 2006.

If you like you can look at the (sketchy, incomplete) GM notes as well.

The Cast List

PLEASE NOTE: We will add e-mail addresses to this page as and when people confirm which e-mail addresses they want used. We understand people's concerns about spam: as you may have noticed, the e-mail addresses on this site are cleverly obfuscated to confuse spam bots. If you don't confirm an e-mail address with us we will assume you will be using whichever address you send your first turnsheet from.

In the meantime, if you need to contact someone below and you don't know their address mail the GM list and we'll get you the address they've been using so far ASAP.

Remember, if you want to talk to an NPC you can always e-mail the GMs at team_of_traitors at yahoogroups dot com.

Player Characters

If we don't specify in which district a player character lives, please assume they live in the district controlled by their mob. (The Family's territory is the Slums, the Dockyard Rats control the Docks, Inmack's Boys operate out of the Craftsman's District, and the Watchdogs have their HQ in the Ruins. Characters in the Trading District are in a warzone between the Rats and the Boys; similarly, those who live in the Steam are living in an area where the Family are making inroads and meeting resistance from the Watchdogs. In these cases we will specify who the characters are paying protection money to.)
