Olympia from Shadow Island Games is a commercial open-ended fantasy/
strategy PBEM of moderate complexity that has magical, military &
mercantile role-playing aspects to it.  There's approx 190 players.

In addition to the surface world of Olympia, there's also the
Cloudlands, Faery and Hades.

Turns are $2.50 (flat fee), sent and received weekly via email.
Results are sent out every week on Wednesday evening along with the
Olympia Times news.

For general info, send mail to:
    info@pbm.com

For rules, setup forms, descriptions, sample turn, etc:
    anonymous ftp from ftp.pbm.com.

Best bet is just to visit the Olympia WWW server:
    http://www.pbm.com/oly-top.html

Check it out, I think it's a _great_ game.
