What is Pantaloonia?

This is a weird website for a weird play-by-correspondence game that I am playing with some friends!

When I was a child, my brothers and I wanted to play wargames but lacked the attention span and/or ability to play anything competitive for more than 5 minutes without a fistfight breaking out. Instead, we homebrewed a cooperative "tactical medieval wargame" (very heavy air quotes) using The World's Greatest Construction Toy. It was slightly more tactical than strapping firecrackers to army men.

(Other childhood pastimes included stair-sledding, lighting ourselves on fire with rubbing alcohol, and bicycle jousting. We all survived to adulthood.)

When the Great Sit inside All Day and Be Unemployed of 2020 struck, I resurrected the game as an asynchronous play-by-Internet-correspondence with some good friends, and Pantaloonia was born.
