Do you believe any GM could be lured in organising one such game for Dominions? Or yourself? *Hint hint*
I expect someone might GM a game allowing players to fiddle with equipment during play. Nagot Gick Fel is GM'ing another experimental game I'm playing in at the moment (a "Killer/Paranoia" type game), and of course Gandalf has infinite free time.

I wouldn't have time for anything except perhaps creating mods where players could alter their units, without adding new graphics, say before play rather than during play. My computers are all behind NAT firewalls so I'd have to do PBEM rather than TCP/IP I think, anyway.

But even that could be cool. I could make up some guidelines for players to request changes to national units within certain limits, and then everyone could play the game with a customized nation.

Hmm... that does sound like fun... hmmm...

Setting the guidelines seem the hardest part to me (besides having the time to do it); I know I would be hard put to draw the line between "sure, go ahead" and "would you like a free casting of the Wish spell every turn on top of that?".

I am quite fond of PBEM myself, both as a player and as a host. Having your turns delivered in your mail is so convenient for the lazy player (myself included), and PBEM allows for a more flexible schedule, while being much easier to set up. If only my mail server bounced when it fails to deliver a message to my address.
