About Us

Evil Eyes: The Mummy is the longest-running and only-living play-by-post Role Playing Game based on The Mummy and The Mummy Returns by Universal Studios. The game tells the story of the Karawan Amulets, two powerful amulets that have the power to alter history and provide its user with immortality and invincibility. With the ancient lore behind their creation, characters are faced with an obstacle created by the Egyptian Gods Hathor, Set, and Horus, but what everyone fails to realize is that they're all pawns in Set's game including antagonists!

We've implemented the concept of globetrotting as part of our story to enhance our world. At the end of an arc, characters will globetrot with their team to another location based upon player votes. They'll remain in that country until it's time for the amulet to move, therefore providing characters an opportunity to explore the country and face new challenges. The concept of winning or losing the race doesn't exist here, as the earliest team to arrive at the new location is only provided a head start.

Characters will be given an opportunity to unearth other magical artifacts aside from the Karawan Amulets throughout the game. Many of these artifacts will provide teams with advantages, while others may be useless. It must be emphasized that individual character quests for magical artifacts is inexistent here due to our plot-oriented storyline, but exceptions may apply depending if it's plot-oriented.

Unless a character's part of the Medjai and Djed or they're a series canon, many original characters will join the ranks uninformed of events that occurred in The Mummy series. This by default will leave them ignorant of the fact that magic, the undead, Gods and Mythology are very real. Their knowledge of these subjects will develop at the player's own pace, therefore providing room for character development to happen in character.

Despite all of this, it must be emphasized that we're still a historical board that relies heavily on realism and researching in order to enhance the game-play experience. All characters (including original characters) are expected to have a realistic feel, but exceptions may apply depending on the circumstance. We expect those who're applying for original characters to treat their histories as they would with any other historical board set in our time period. Furthermore, original characters are encouraged to include themes that have happened within our time period into their history (for example, a WWI veteran).

So what do you say, do you think that you can survive?

What you can expect

  • 100% player-driven community.
    Almost every subplot in the game was started by our players at one point, and they're what makes our community today. Don't be afraid to get a little creative!
  • Advanced storytelling.
    Are you looking for a game that can be read like a novel? You can expect that with us! Take a look at our summaries and you'll find that each thread's like a novel chapter, and that each arc can be read like a novel itself.
  • A community that stays true to the novels and films but with an enhancement.
    Are you a mummy fan that loathes films after M1+2? Have no fear – you won't have that experience with us, for while we've done a lot of world building and fixing up Sommers mistakes, we strive to remain true to the original films. To emphasize our point, members claim that we're what M3 should have been!
  • IC character development in nearly every thread.
    Nearly every thread our characters have participated in has developed our characters in some form, and no thread is done without a reason. With our world your character will experience the unexpected, and face challenges that they'll have to overcome. You'll learn about your character each step along the way!

 

What films are canon here?

Only The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001) are canon to Evil Eyes. All future Mummy films (including The Mummy 3), the Scorpion King series, and The Mummy Animated series aren't canon here. However, we have made minor modifications to canons featured in The Mummy Animated series to fit with our canon.

Why are we labeled advanced?

Evil Eyes is labeled advanced not because of our writing expectations, but due to the amount of researching that our staff team and players do to ensure accuracy on various subjects. While we aren't 100% accurate (and we will never claim to be), we aim for a higher level of historical accuracy and realism in order to enhance the game-play experience, therefore providing players (and readers) a rich and enjoyable story.
