I am currently in Empyrean Challenge, a large, complex game of
interstellar empire building with a strong economic/production emphasis
and a detailed combat system and in MaxiChallenge, a variant of it.
These are my favorite PBMs right now.

I am also playing StarMagic, a revival of an Austrailian import that
changed moderators last year.  It is an open ended game of interstellar
empires, with trade and development a key factors.  An excellent game.

Stellar Supremacy is a new game that I am reviewing for Flagship
Magazine.  It is a medium complexity empire building game, featuring a
laser printed maps and interesting alliance rules.

(As you can guess, I like computer moderated SF games.)

World Conquest is an operational level game of WW II era technology and
combat, designed by the Stellar Supremacy designer.

I have also played in most of the major PBM games including StarWeb,
BSE, Adventurer Kings (an excellent game) and Battle Plan.

Good gaming.
