If I understand your question correctly, the best place to start looking for
a PBEM to take part in would probably be on this Forum or through a magazine
like Flagship (available both in the UK and US). There are lot of companies
who run games by e-mail with all kinds of backgrounds that may or may not
interest you. Have a root around and you're bound to find something...

Another big question which I'm probably not qualified to answer. Any
suggestions folks? You could really do with getting hold of a copy of
Flagship or some similar mag dealing with the PBM hobby. There are tons of
really simple games... (come on someone, give me a hint here - It's A Crime
(KJC Games), Overlord (State of Mind Games), Crisis (Time Patterns),
Necromancer (Madhouse), etc.).

Same answer - check out Flagship. Or, how about suggesting what games you'd
be interested in playing and I'll try to drop you a few addresses you might
try - fantasy, science fiction, crime, historical, wargames, role-playing ?

Hope that's of some small use to you...?
