Several people have been trying to join FRPList. Unfortunately, I am not able to reply to them. If you are trying to join FRPList, please send me a uucp mail path which does *not* involve the ARPA net, as I don't have authorisation to mail to ARPA sites. FRPList is an extremely infrequent digest intended for people interested in designing Roleplaying games of all kinds, and designing/running Campaigns. - Russell -- ... mcvax!ukc!warwick!req (req@warwick.UUCP) ... mcvax!ukc!warwick!frplist (frplist@warwick.UUCP)

Help! I have been deluged with thousands (well, lots) of requests to join FRPList. Unfortunately, I an't reply to all of them. I need a uucp address. I am not authorised to send mail to ".arpa" sites. FRPlist was originally set up to provide a forum for discussing the design of role playing games and campaigns, away from the plethora of AD&D articles in the net.games.frp newsgroup. Some people also said that they'd like to be able to have somewhere they could talk about things without their players reading... It has turned out that I have had far low a ratio (contributers:readers) for the List to be viable. So I am considering (after eight months) a change in format, to posted digests in net.games.frp. There wasn't a great deal of `GM only' stuff anyway. I will still mail to those people who don't get net.games.frp, although the mail connection won't be any the more reliable. For the information of previous subscribers, the most recent issue was before Christmas, and was numbered 1.0.008. I am trying to get together a set of reviews of game systems to help people to choose one to run for a given setting or to decide which to look at to get ideas... more on that later. I will carry on mantaining the mailing list for a while, particularly if the number of contributions grows. If you have mailed me recently & not got an answer, don't despair. My mailbox grew by about two dozen requests to join last weekend, & I haven't got through them all yet. It helps if you can a few details about your frp interests/ experience at the same time as you reply to my reply to your mailing... and it helps still more if I'm given a path that doesn't use ARPAnet, 'cos some of the intervening mailers tend to optimise paths & choose routes that are not always open to me, or fail to give full routing information! - Russell -- ... mcvax!ukc!warwick!req (req@warwick.UUCP) ... mcvax!ukc!warwick!frplist (frplist@warwick.UUCP) inchar = pinchar /* XXX */
