This is a list of Play-By-Mail magazines, games, and ftp sites.

If you have any additions or corrections, please send them to me at
gl8f@virginia.edu. Some of the information on this list is probably
out of date, namely the commercial bits. I attempt to keep the
information about the free magazines, games, and ftp sites up-to-date,
but I depend on my readers to update the commercial information.

You can ftp a new copy of this list from ftp.erg.sri.com in the
directory pub/pbm, or ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl, directory pub/pbm.

Thanks to Bryan McDonald for compiling the first edition of this list
-- he did most of the work. Thanks also to Flagship magazine for
providing a comprehensive list of just about every existing commercial
game and GM.

Non-commercial computer-moderated PBEM wargames:

Game:		Atlantis

Type:		strategic economic/military, fantasy setting
Duration:	open-ended
Turns:		one per week
GM:		rwallace@vax1.tcd.ie (Russell Wallace)
Status:		accepting new players

For those of you who are familiar with Olympia, Atlantis is Russell
Wallace's answer. It is a _very_ simple game, one in which the players
have to provide most of the flavor. Other than the players, there is
no one but peasants in the world. The only economy is that which
exists between players.

A magazine is generated weekly and is posted to rec.games.pbm. It
should also be available at the ftp sites. The rules are also
available for ftp. The first turns were mailed in April, 1993. The
game is now accepting players... send email to the GM to join.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Game:		Celestial Empire

Type:		strategic economic/military space-opera
Duration:	close-ended, 30+ turns
Turns:		one per week
GM:		Dougal.Scott@fcit.monash.edu.au
Status:		occasionally starting new games

Description:

Players compete to capture worlds which produce many different types
of resources, of which different amounts are needed to manufacture
various items. The author, Dougal Scott, is currently running several
games, and he periodically starts new ones.  The rules may be ftp-ed
from yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au in the directory /pub/celemp.  After you've
read them, if you still want to join a game, send your name to
Dougal.Scott@fcit.monash.edu.au. He's also looking for a new
administrator to take over running his games, so he can finish his
degree.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Game:		Diplomacy

Type:		email version of Avalon Hill's pure strategy game
Turns:		frequency varies from one per day to one per 2 weeks
                for different games.
Email Server:	judge@morrolan.eff.org, HELP in body of message
Email Server:	judge@u.washington.edu, the subject is ignored.

Description:

The Diplomacy Adjudicator is a fully computer-moderated gamemaster for
Avalon Hill's Diplomacy boardgame. To get more information from the
moderator, send email with the word "HELP" in the body of the message
(the subject is ignored) to judge@morrolan.eff.org.  Some information is
available via FTP from milton.u.washington in the public/misc
subdirectory. All of the information up for ftp is also available via
the email server. There is also an older diplomacy Judge at
judge@u.washington.edu, which is not starting any new games but has
lots of standby positions available.

Diplomacy is probably the biggest PBEM game out there, with 234 games
going as of March 15, a 10% increase over the past month.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Game:		Galaxy

Type:		strategic, economic/military, space opera setting
Duration:	typically 50-80 turns
Turns:		typically 1 or 2 per week
GM:		rwallace@vax1.tcd.ie (Russell Wallace)
GM:		bampton@cs.utk.edu (Howard Bampton)
Email Server:	beast-serv@acca.nmsu.edu, Subject: HELP

Description:

The game typically takes place on a 100x100 2D map, with a few hundred
planets and 20 to 50 players. Players compete to capture planets,
which can be used for economic expansion. You may purchase technology
in several different areas, allowing your ships to fight harder and
move faster. Galaxy turns range in size from 10kbytes early in the
game to 100-200kbytes late in the game.

The rules and source code are available for ftp.

There is now an automated email server which presumably will be
handling a large fraction of games in the future. You can talk to it
by sending email to beast-serv@acca.nmsu.edu with the word "help" in the
subject. Note: in the subject. This email server runs games as well as
mailing lists for the "Galaxy PBeM Development Group", and will let
you get at the latest GPDG source code. You can help develop, if you
like. If you have problems or want to talk to a human, try
beast@acca.nmsu.edu.

You can also write to humans who run games; they start games
occasionally and also have standby positions. They are:

rwallace@vax1.tcd.ie
	bampton@cs.utk.edu

Howard Bampton has a variant called "blind" galaxy. You can ftp the
source for it from cs.utk.edu:/pub/bampton.

Judgment Day is a game for up to 25 players. Each player controls an
empire which can build weapons and attack each other. When the nukes
start flying, remember to duck and cover.

Judgment Day is in the first beta-test. Dropout positions are
occasionally available; after you have read the rules (available at
the ftp sites), write the GM to ask for a position.

Game:		Experimental Electronic Football League (EEFL)

Type:		sports simulation, soccer
GM:		wickart@ichips.intel.com (Bill 'Prune' Wickart)

Description:

Spin-off of the UEFL for playing with rule changes.  More detailed
control of player positions, wider variety of team resources, matches
run by software (you get a nice match chronology; simple-minded,
better than a box score).  About 12 days per turn, time off around
winter holidays, 2 seasons per year.  About to begin season 8, 92
players in 9 divisions at 4 levels.

Game:		En Garde!

Type:		Historical
Duration:	Open Ended
Turns:		weekly during Cambridge undergraduate term
Status:		Open, contact GM
GM:		Colin Bell (crb11@cus.cam.ac.uk)

Description:

En Garde! is a semi-historical game/simulation representing many of
the situations of an Errol Flynn movie set in the Seventeenth or
Eighteenth centuries. In En Garde!  a player finds himself born into
and educated in a world where social climbing is a way of life, and
status is a goal to be perused even over money. There are people to be
used, friends in high places to be cultivated, enemies to be
humiliated, the Cardinal's guard to be trounced, lackies to be abused,
the hand of a fair damsel to be won, and the ear of the King to be
gained. Come with us now, to those vibrant, bawdy days of yore...

The game has been converted to PBM format from a roleplay system
devised by GDW. The game mechanics are simple and reasonably easy
to grasp: the main fun is the roleplay and player interaction. The
game has now been going for about 3 years.

Game:           Rich Man / Poor Man

Duration:       Open-ended
Turns:          One per week, breaks around major holidays,
Status:         about 20 players, no waiting, expansion ad lib.
GM:             Siegrist@elde.epfl.ch

Description:

Each player has 2 chips moving on a 25x25 board.  If you land on
another player's chip, you exchange some resources (usually good for
the aggressor).  If the square is unowned, the agressor may buy it.
Invent a business that helps others play the game, sell your product,
become rich.  Each week, richest player gets bragging rights.

In this game *players* vote on new businesses, etc.  The GM provides
the playing field, basic movement, and suggestions.  The GM and jury
(5 elected players) resolve the few conflicts.  Fun, devious, but
time-consuming.

Game:           Slocum's GURPS _Tekumel_

Type:           GURPS with homebrew Tekumel modifications
Duration:       Open ended.
Turns:          Approx. every 2-3 weeks.
Status:         Full; waiting list is open (as of April 10th, 1991).
GM:             slocum@ssdc.honeywell.com (Brett Slocum)

Description:

Tekumel is the fantasy world created by M.A.R. Barker in the games
"Empire of the Petal Throne" and "Swords and Glory", and in the novels
"Man of Gold" and "Flamesong".

Characters are built using GURPS and GM's Tekumel modifications, but
all game mechanics go by the board once a character starts playing.
This is a "blind" campaign, where the players don't know who the other
players are.  PCs are currently somewhere in the Underworld beneath
Jakalla, the City Half as Old as the World.

Opinions:

Tekumel is one of the most detailed worlds ever created rivalling
Middle-Earth in scope and depth. (GM)

Game:		Strategic Postal Australian Rules Football (SPARF)

Type:		sports simulation
GM:		mel@soda.berkeley.edu

Description:

SPARF is based on the game RAFL, which I wrote in 1985.  RAFL was also
an Aussie Rules simulation which was intended as a live gaming
exercise rather than a PBeM.  RAFL had a following of about two dozen
players, and died of natural causes around 1987 when I decided I
didn't want to run it any more.  A few years later, when I got better
at UNIX programming, I conceived SPARF and designed it as a
RAFL-by-email-with-an-automated server. -- Mel

If you'd like to see the rules, send email to munch@soda.berkeley.edu
with the subject "help" to receive information about his game. Note
that commands to this server go in the Subject: line, not the body of
the message.

Game:           Sugar Ray (German language)

Type:           Boxing Simulation
Duration:       open ended
Turns:          5 weekly
Status:         Open.  New boxers are always welcome.
GM:             rschoen@mathematik.uni-ulm.de (Reinhard Schoen)

Description:

For each of the five rounds of the fight, every boxer writes down a
number describing the strength of his attack and a defense number. If
one's attack number exceeds the opponent's defense number, the latter
loses endurance points. Unfortunately, high attack/defense numbers
also cost endurance. A boxer losing all his endurance points is
knocked out.

Basic knowledge of the German language required! Results published in
the fanzine Postspillion.

Opinion:        The best game I ever invented!

Game:		Tim's One Day Cricket Game

Type:		Sports Simulation
Duration:	14-20 turns/season, seasons start at close of previous season.
Turns:		1/week
Status:		open
GM:		astley@tasman.cc.utas.edu.au

Description:

This game simulates Tests and one day Cricket Games. Cricket is very
common game in those countries of the former British Empire and has
almost come to replace religion in some nations.

Each person takes on the role of Selector/Manager/Captain.  You have a
squad of up to 30 players from which you must choose a team for each
game, train the players and decide the batting and bowling order and
other team tactics. You also have some say in the pitch conditions.
Each week you will be asked to select an XI to play in the upcoming
matches. This will be called the team. You also decide whether on
winning the toss you want them to bat or bowl first, along with the
batting and bowling order. This is all fed into the Main programme
which plays the match ball by ball. A ball by ball record is made and
a scorecard at the end of each innings compiled. Statistics are
generated and Man of the Match decided. Those players not in the first
XI return to their "clubs" and play for them. Here you get a brief run
down on their performance and any injuries suffered by the players
during the week.

A season lasts for approximately 4 months. The 4th season is currently
underway, with 60 teams in 5 divisions.

Status:         Open.  New managers are always welcome, 34 already enjoy it!
GM:             rschoen@mathematik.uni-ulm.de (Reinhard Schoen)

Description:

Each player manages a Formula 1 racing stable. Drivers can be hired
for the season (6 turns each). The material needed to attend a race
(Formula 1, Formula 2, dragster, rallye, etc) can be built or bought
from other players.

Basic knowledge of the German language required! Results published in
the fanzine Postspillion.

Opinion:

In the Rotarius poll 1989, Turbo 2000 was elected the 3rd best pbm
game being played in Germany, beaten only by United and Diplomacy.

Game:		United Electronic Football League (UEFL)

Type:		sports simulation, soccer
GM:		billones@grebyn.com (Jeremy Billones)

Description:

United Electronic Football -- this is a USer, PBeM version of Alan
Parr's game.  You create a team of football (soccer) players, each
with a position and skill level.  Each turn, you pit your lineups
against those of your opponents, with relative strengths and random
chance determining the final score.  If you win, you get more
resources for improving your team.  You can trade players and other
resources, and press wars abound.  Honor and glory for the regular-
season champion and the winner of the post-season Cup.

UEFL is the original league in the States, 20 teams in upper and lower
divisions.  about 2 weeks per turn, time off for academic breaks, 1
season per year.  Currently in season 4.  Still the original, still
the simplest, still the league that got me addicted in the first
place.

Status:         Occasional replacement positions available
GM:             pieper@mathematik.uni-ulm.de (Thomas Pieper)

Description:

Each player leads a political party in the Federal Republic of Germany
(before 1990). Election campaigns are held in the Bundeslaender.
Because it's unlikely to reach absolute majority in the Bundestag
(Federal parliament) or the Landtage (State parliaments), you have to
cooperate with other parties to achieve your political goal (which is,
of course, rise to power and keep it!).

of the FRG is described in the rules; you don't have to know it
beforehand. Results published in the fanzine Postspillion?

prophesy (ie. the prophesy trails off at the end, leaving the
conclusion up in the air).  The prophecy involves the son of the last
of the Wizard-Kings.  The game is based on home-grown rules.

Decentralized Game Programs

Game:		VGA Planets 3.0
Ftp from:	ftp.ucsc.edu, directory /PC/vgaplanets-3.0

Description:

A shareware game for PC-Clones. Players use a graphical interface to
enter their turns, and then send a binary file to the moderator, who
runs them through a program that processes the turn. A review of
version 2.1 appears in PBEM volume 92 # 6. A major bug exists in
version 2.X which either gives a big advantage or disadvantage to
ships with low numbers -- I can't remember which ;-). I'm not sure if
it's fixed in 3.0.

Game:		Plateau
Ftp from:	ftp.cd.chalmers.se, directory pub/plateu (note spelling)

Game:		Adventurer's Guild
Type:		Combat/Adventuring
Duration:	Open Ended
Turns:		Once every two weeks.  Option of having a "traveller"
		status which will fight you in the next guild
		processed (minimum of two weeks inbetween each turn).
GM:		Computer moderated
Costs:		$9.75 for the first character, $9.00 for each
		additional character in the same guild.

Description:

AG is sort of like a D&D game.  You have numerous races to choose from
for characters.  You can fight in the guild which will put you in a
group of eight with a round-robin format.  You may then fight an extra
fight (no additonal cost) versus a single opponent or many (for both
sides).  Team fights happen often.  If you prefer not to fight in the
guild you can go adventuring with a party (1 to 8 people) to the
numerous adventure sites.  Travel between the guilds is possible if
you wish a change of scenery.  Gods play a role in the AG realm and
you may swear devotion to the God of your choice.  The turns are laser
printed (15 to 20 pages single-sided) and include a newsletter.

Opinion:

AG is everything that Duelmasters kept promising to add for the three
years I played (adventuring, team fights, etc).  You have total
control of your character and his/her design.  The customer service is
outstanding.  If you send in questions with your turn, you receive
them with your results.  The GM is constantly adding additions to the
game to make it even better.  If you like Duelmasters or the concept,
AG is for you.  burgesmw.cnsvax.uwec.edu

Game:		Adventurer Kings

Type:		Fantasy War Game
Duration:	15-25 turns
Turns:		Weekly for email on CIS, 2 weeks/turn for snailmail
GM:		computer-moderated

Description:

A completely computer-moderated game of world conquest.  One of its
nicest features is SAGA: the turn input/output program.  You can
either download your turns from Compuserve, or receive diskmailers.
It also helps you avoid many errors.

Opinion:

An excellent game, with a lot of factors which work well together.
The SAGA program makes any entry errors your own, and Dave Snell seems
to really work hard to make playing an enjoyable experience. Highly
recommended. - minnotte@rice.edu (Michael Minnotte)

Not terribly complicated, but a good fun game, made more so by
the ease of Saga. - ry@attunix.att.com (Ryerson Schwark)

An excellent game, much deeper than it first appears. Dave Snell (the

Global conquest with roughly 1000 distinct command options.  Players

Opinions:

This is a complex game; the rule book alone is ~50 pages. There is
considerable need for player interaction/team games are available. A
very good game of its type. RSI does an excellent job at customer

(like Sardior Dragonlord and Harun the Prophet), and lots more.  Great
fun.

Opinion:

This is great.  A workable system for fantasy armies at last.  The
rules set is similar to Lords Of The Earth, the historical
empire-building pbm from Wanderer, but simplified to make it more fun.
I highly recommend this pbm.  -- warden@triton.unm.edu <Scott Micheel>

Game:		Capitol

Type:		Space Opera, strategic
Duration:
Turns:		one per two weeks, generally
GM:		Computer-moderated

Description:

Strategic economic/exploration/combat/diplomatic space game.  None of
the areas is very detailed, but you you get a nice sampling of each.
You play as part of a team against other teams. Between teams only
limited cooperation is possible.  Turns consist of moving resources,
combat fleets and exploration fleets, constructing new ships and
bases.  Strategically, combat strongly favors the attacker so there is
lots of action. - bruno@convex.csd.uwm.edu (Bruno Wolff III)

Opinion:

Well run and good concept but very slow and very little diplomacy.  -
minnotte@rice.edu (Michael Minnotte)

I enjoyed playing the game once, but was frustrated by the way it was
run by ABM. They had a large number of data entry errors.  They would
correct turns, but because of time lags involved this wasn't
completely satisfactory. The botched the end of the game and let it
continue for another turn after it ended.  To play competitively you
have to be willing to split your position repeatedly and this will
cost you lots of bucks (figure 3-4 positions at the end for each
starting position). Detailed team coordination is also essential for
victory.  - bruno@convex.csd.uwm.edu (Bruno Wolff III)

Game:		Duelmasters

Type:		Gladiator combat
Duration:	Completely open-ended w/advancement to higher levels
Turns:		Optional two or four week turn around - Phone turns
		accepted
GM:		Computer moderated
Costs:		$3.25 + $1.50/warrior up to a max. of 5 in an arena
		Free initial set-up and rules.

Description:

Players manage a stable of five gladiators within an arena context
against other players. The gladiators are assigned an initial 70
points in 7 areas (strength, wit, etc.) and 14 additional points are
allotted to personalize the warrior. Beyond this, managers are
responsible for training and strategy. There is also considerable
space in the game for role-playing and diplomatic interaction with
other players.

Opinions:

Looks simple, but the game is brilliantly programmed and a continuous
learning experience. Results are laser printed. RSI does an excellent
job with customer service. Although the game is costly, it is very
addictive and well worth the price. -
stdaughney@chemical.waterloo.edu (Steve Daughney)

Duelmasters is one of the friendliest games I've been involved in.
Role-playing is highly encouraged, the Duelmasters Sponsor program
can put beginning players ("newbies") in touch with the most
experienced and successful managers right away, and Customer Service
has taken a definite turnaround.  The results are beautifully printed,
and always full of surprises.  A little on the expensive side (as much
as $10.75/turn) but for my money, it's definitely worth it! -

Game:		A Duel of A Different Color

Type:	 	Magical combat simulation
Duration:       Completely open-ended w/advancement to higher levels
Turns:          Optional two or four week turn around
GM:             Computer moderated
Costs:          $5.00 for 5 students characters
		Rules $5.00, Initial set-up: Rules and 2 turns for $13.00

Description:

Players instruct a team of five students within a duel context against
other players for academic advancement. The students are assigned an
initial value of 41 points in 4 areas. (strength, dexterity,
intelligence, and life points) and additional traits are used to
personalize the student. Instructors are responsible for guiding the
students development. There is some space in the game for role-playing
and diplomatic interaction with other players.  The results in this
game are very interesting, in that, output is give in a narrative
form, rather than, raw statistics.

Opinions:

This game looks simple, but like Duelmasters, it is brilliantly
programmed. FD has taken time with their product and service.  The
narratives are great and just have to be seen. They claim to use some
state-of-the-art story generation system. Also, they claim that their
NPCs use Genetic Algorithms and Neural Nets for learning. --

Opinions:

This is a fair but not great game. First-time players are often

Type:		Strategy/Tactics
Duration:	20 turns.
Turns:		Bi-weekly turns. Faxes accepted.
GM:		Computer Moderated
Costs:		$4/turn, $60 for the entire game paid in advance.  Setup is

Description:

Player runs a barony on a 24-barony island.  Object is to control more
sectors than anyone else by turn 20.  Game consists of armies,
fortresses, outposts, walls, Captains, wizards, dragons, rogue races,
and ships.  Game has one winner, with no prizes.

Opinions:

The balance of the game is excellent - maybe too good.  Lucky
placement plays a significant role in victory, and this may frustrate
players determined to win.  Skillful play is still the most
significant factor, so players determined to do well should have no
problems.  It will appeal to UCSD empire players.  I highly recommend
this game.  - griffith@dweeb.fx.com (Jim Griffith)

Type:		Strategic/modern day
Duration:	36 turns or less
Turns:		Minimum 11 days per turn. Faxes accepted.
GM:		Computer Moderated
Costs:		$1.50/turn (4 orders), $3.00/turn for a double order turn
		(10 orders, competitive players will want to issue double
		order turns every turn), $1.50 extra for "extended New York
		Post reports", $1.50 extra for phoned-in orders.  Setup is
		free, first two turns are free.

Description:

Player is the leader of a 1990's New York street gang.  City is a
100x100 grid with 500 initial gangs.  Gangs have a number of different
orders they can issue to build their strength and hose rival gangs.

Opinions:

The game parameters are simplistic, because the game was originally
intended as a test game.  The game does contain "magic numbers" that
give an experienced player an advantage over an inexperienced one.
The variability of orders makes the game a lot of fun.  GAMES Magazine
placed it in its top 100 games a few years back.  I highly recommend
it.  - griffith@dweeb.fx.com

This is a decent game for people new to the pbm market to cut their
teeth on, except for that fact that every time you turn around they
have another $1.50 charge to hit you with after advertising that it is
an inexpensive game at $1.50 a turn.  Being 100% computer moderated
also lends an air of sterility to it.  - bigmac@erg.sri.com (Bryan

Description:

Player owns an 'area' of land and begins at level 1. The object is to

points system exists and is used to determine the winner of more

Opinions:

Excellent but expensive. Can get a little stale when the ability to
recruit new troops is lost (at level 3) and military action becomes
more difficult. Ruthlessness is recommended!  - sjw@ukc.ac.uk

GM:		various (multiple games in progress)
Costs:

Description:	NOTE:There are two modules, both described below.

Crowns of Avalon: Fantasy FRP with action occurring from a strategic
level to a personal hero level. An interesting world full of high
adventure and political intrigue. There are a number of political
factions, each with it's own agenda, or it is possible to start your
own if you have enough people rallied around your cause. Plenty of
monsters to fight, treasure to be won, and NPC's to convert or
conquer.

Realm of the Immortals: Same as above, but with a theme.  The land as
it exists is in peril of being conquered by the Overlord who has been
laying siege to various cities for a number of years.  The Overlord is
generally a nasty person, being concerned with raising undead armies
and sending them against his enemies.

Opinion:

Great game. Plenty of options and directions you can choose for your
City/Town/Adventurer Party/Epic Hero.  Although busy, the folks at
Midnight games are very good about handling special requests and
answering questions. Turn handling is prompt.  -
gcook@garnet.berkeley.edu (George Cook)

The game emphasizes flexibility - there are around 200 different
orders you can issue, plus "special orders" which let you do
non-standard stuff.  This is a *lot* of fun to play, especially if you
have friends in the same game.  Main problem is that Midnight Games'
phone line is *always* busy.  - griffith@dweeb.fx.com (Jim Griffith)

Great concept, not-so-great execution. Rules are hard to understand,
and program is notoriously buggy. Midnight is taking steps to correct
this in the new Legends II forthcoming. Still, there's nothing else
like it out there for sheer size and scope. - joey.browning@datadim.com

Description:

Conquest and Adventure in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world of Middle
Earth.  In each game, there are 25 players who take on the role of a
Dark Servant (10), Free Peoples (10), or a Neutral (5).  The goal of
the game is for Good to destroy all of Evil (or vice versa).  An
optional victory is attained by delivering the ONE RING to Mt. Doom or
to Sauron.  Each player controls a kingdom and individual characters.
In many ways similar to Alamaze, but more developed.

Opinions:

THE BEST PBM I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!  Your turns are laser printed and
you receive updated kingdom maps every turn w/ updated character
sheets for your heroes.  If you in in love with Tolkien's books, this

Costs:		$7-10/turn, $5 setup, $3 rules.

Description:

Fairly complex game involving colonizing other planets and fighting on
planets and in space.  Also has a role-playing element (you have a
bunch of characters to run your empire).

Opinions:

Too complicated to be playable, not complicated enough to be
realistic. - purtill@dimacs.rutgers.edu (Mark Purtill)

Having been a long time FBI customer and a Mobius player, I felt that
the review for that game was rather unjustified. The game is certainly
somewhat more complex than, say starweb, but considerably simpler that
Empyrean Challenge (to stay in the same genre), very well run (FBI's
customer service is absolutely the best, their error rate extremely
low and their turnaround quite regular) and I would recommend the game
heartily. It is interesting for its introduction of some role playing
into what is a primarily strategic game. Try it!  -

Type:		Fantasy Simulation (World Conquest and Hunt)
Duration:
Turns:		2 week turnaround (probably other options as well)
GM:		Computer Moderated
Cost:		was $3/turn in 1989

Description:

Based on Saberhagen's Book of Swords series, each player is a minor
noble trying to capture the twelve swords of power (which will
presumably lead to world domination; you don't actually have to
conquer everything).  Essentially a relatively simple wargame.  Things
are complicated by the presence of spell-casting wizards, the swords
(each with its power), and twelve gods which provide boons for their
favorites and problems for their most hated lord. You must also
balance soldiers to fight for you with keeping enough peasants in the
field producing food and increasing your population.

Opinion:

An inexpensive, simple, fairly interesting game. Nothing
spectacular. - minnotte@rice.edu (Michael Minnotte)

Game:		TAKAMO

Type:		Space Empire-Building
Duration:	Open ended.
Turns:		From 1/ten days to 1/month, depending on which galaxy.
GM:		Computer run, human moderator for questions & problems.
Costs:		$2.50 to $15.00/turn

Description:

Players play empire builders, nomads, pirates, smugglers, traders,
agribusinesses, miners, or (ick) cybers in a quest to explore the
galaxy and tame it while making lots of bucks and trying to avoid
getting into interstellar wars (or perhaps trying to start some).

Opinions:

Interesting game, not *too* complicated, but full of complex details
that may arise during play.  Long-running game, the first galaxy
started in 1983.  There is a closed-ended version too, TAKAMO II. -

How to read the Galactic View tables:

GM shows if the game is run by computer (C), human (H) or mixed (M).

Ref shows the issue of FLAGSHIP where you can find the best
description so far in the magazine: a=article, s=Spokesmen Speak,
r=Rumors from the Front, d=Diary, l=Late News. Thus, 4s mea ns
'Spokesmen Speak Issue #4'.

For the Other Fees column, the following notes apply: (a) More for
larger positions or later turns in the game, (b) More for battle
reports, (c) More for extended orders, (d) More for several possible
extras, (e) Fee covers entire game.* next to Rules & Startup indicates
deposit returnable if you play to the end of the game, or prepayment
discounts available (see moderator for details). There is usually a
small surcharge for players from other countries than the GM.
Occasional optionals like a newsletter are not included in the prices
unless we judge that they are fairly frequent and essential for the
enjoyment of the game. Some GMs give discounts if you pay for a batch
of turns in advance.

Finally, the FLAGSHIP editors' personal recommendations of games to
try appear in the last column. B=Bob Bost, P=Nicky Palmer, T=John
Tindall.

All prices are US$, except for Australian games which are in A$.

Removed: Emperor of the US, Lords of the Earth, Stellar Supremacy, The
World in Conflict (thanks to Bob McLain for pointing out these
reportedly non-running games.)

Added: Continuum, Murder, Panzer Salient, Star Fleet Warlord, You're
an Amoeba, Go!

GM change: High Point now also running WW IV.

Updates in listed prices: Firebreather, Midgard, World War IV

This is a list of PBM companies believed by FLAGSHIP to be operating
at the time this issue is published. This is offered as a service to
our readers to assist them in selecting the games they may want to
play. Moderators listed below are cross-indexed by a company code to
the game register on the following pages. Moderators are strongly
encouraged to check the listings here and verify their accuracy;
please notify one of the editors if you find an error or omission.
There is no cost to moderators for this service. We'd also be very
grateful if readers who find an error here, or who learn of a new game
not listed, would pass the word on to us here at FLAGSHIP.
   To sign up for a game, find it on the list below, find the company
running it on your company list, and send them the sum under Rules &
startup. You will be sent a rulebook and any starting materials (order
sheets, maps, etc.) needed, and you will be given the number of free
turns listed under Free Turns. After that, the cost per turn is as
shown in the Turn Fee column. Where we are uncertain about the status
of a company, we've marked them with a '?'.
