References: Are there any new pbm games out there that weren't announced? I'm just getting into this sort of thing, and I'm looking for a D&D type of thing. I play almost any frp (within reason) and would be willing to even start one if anyone has any strong request. Talk back to me! -Dave S. (signiature in designing)

I am also very interested in pbm gaming of any kind. I have no
experience with pbm campaigns, but have played most kinds of rpgs
and a bunch of wargames/strategy games as well. Is anybody starting
a Diplomacy game for near-novices? What about role-playing? Are there
any pbm versions in use that work? Monopoly seems an easy game to
begin with, but the Swedish version has completely different street
names, so you would have to send me a list of them so I can follow the
game at home. I'll play anything as long as I can get a copy of the rules.

[...] >I play almost any frp (within reason) and would be willing to even start one >if anyone has any strong request. Talk back to me! > >-Dave S. I have been running a postal game for a number of months now, in which the characters are Nobility in a Quasi-medieval society. Those that have holdings have to run them, dealing with peasants' petitions and the like, often in a Winter Court annualy, and coping with their serfs starving to death after bad harvests, as well as presenting themselves at Court, visiting others, and even going off adventuring... [rare]. I have been gradually mechanising, so that I guess that I could take on a few more players now. There is usually a LONG delay before the 1st move, while I work out the family trees of everone in the Village, etc. The game is set in Harn, on the planet Kethira; this is obtainable from Columbia Games, but having it won't help you any (although it *is* well presented!). The rule system, if any, is not open to discussion (sorry) (perhaps in FRPList). (Obviously, any decisions I make can be questioned, but since they are not phrased in terms of rules, you can`t question the Rules. Which is just as well, since I don`t use any.). So far, the only adventuring (in the traditional sense) has been face-to-face. Finally, if you are one of my players & are waiting for a move, sorry -- a lot has happened recently, so some of you should have some news to catch up on.. - Russell -- ... mcvax!ukc!warwick!req (req@warwick.UUCP) ... mcvax!ukc!warwick!frplist (frplist@warwick.UUCP) "Even from the brother there is no comfort in the bad hour in the dark at the foot of the wall"

Working out things like running combat, player-to-player discussions about tricks, traps, and funny monsters, and that sort of thing would have to be worked out, of course, but should be no problem. I have DMed many a campaign (and participated in a few as well) and would like the challenge of DM over the mail. Mail me your intrest in the game (along with a base idea of how to get over some of the problems listed above and any other problems you forsee) and, intrest pending, we'll see what we can get up!

I'd be interested in trying a PBM AD&D game. I've never been a DM, so I'd
much prefer being a player.

Ditto the playing by mail. It sounds like a terrific idea, and I'd love to
play, if there's room. Hope I'm not too late. Who do I
write to, if you are already started?

Count me in for an AD&D as a player. Sorry, I don't have time to DM.
