I am compiling a list of electronic resources available for Role Playing games
(rpg's), but I need some help from the general usenet community.

What I would like is an entry for every BBS or other electronic resource you
know about which has discussions or services relating to rpg's, including both
"official" resources like the Steve Jackson Games BBS, and unofficial resources
like most BBS's and the various internet mail aliases that exist.

I already have a fledgeling list of resources taken from a monthly posting to
rec.games.frp, but I am interested in sources off the Internet as well, for
all parts of the world.  I am looking for resources related to role-playing
games only (though you can define that as loosely as you like).

I want the following information for each (if possible):

Name - Name of the resource
Type - BBS, mailing list, ftp site, mail server, etc.
Location - City and State (Required for BBS's)
Administrator - Who administers the resource (Required if resource not publicly
   accessible)
To contact - How to contact the administrator (Required if resource not
   publicly accessible)
Ph#/Address - The phone number or address of the resource, as appropriate.
Access Details -  Details about access - baud rate, parity, etc. for BBS's;
   mail subject for help on mail servers, login for ftp or on-line BBS's, etc.
Fees - Are there any ?  If so, what are they
Description - Brief (160 character) description of topics discussed on BBS/list
   (specifically which rpg's)
Notes - any other notes I *need* to know about the resource

If possible, please use the following template.  Multiple lines for each entry
are OK.

Notes		:

Send mail to bbs@ignem.Corp.Sun.COM.  Do NOT send mail to my regular mail
address (dpm@Corp.Sun.COM or Dave.Martin@Corp.Sun.COM).

Once I have constructed the list, I will post it to rec.games.frp,
alt.bbs.lists, rec.games.rpg, and aus.games.roleplay.  If you are not on any of
these newsgroups, but want a copy of the list, please send mail to
bbs@ignem.Corp.Sun.COM (seperate from any BBS listings you send, if possible)
and I will send a copy of the final list to you.

I will continue to update the list as long as I keep getting entries, so please
send listings even after the final list is compiled.

Thanks,
