Hi.  I want to run a Play-by-Email game.  Each player in the game will
take command of a small scoutship voyaging into an unknown part of the
galaxy.  Players will never encounter other players, but will, er, seek
out new life forms and new civilizations, to boldly go... etc.  The main
purpose for this game is to try out my universe-generating software.  Some
long-time readers on this list may remember the Universe Simulation
Mailing List from 1988; I have written enough software to generate 90% of
the information needed for this type of game automatically.  The other
10%, generated by hand, contains probably 90% of the most interesting
material to a player.  I will be using the game to decide how to improve
the software.  The best players for this game will be those who have an
interest in world building and SFRPG.

If you are interested, send me e-mail with your address.  DO NOT POST.
Tell me a little about why you are interested in the idea.  I will send
you 10 pages or so of ship / crew design info and universe background,
along with an example of play.  Due to limits on my time, I will probably
only pick three players at a time and keep the others on a waiting list.
I will repost this notice occasionally if the waiting list empties.
