Another option offered by DragonByte is for your turns to be
submitted via diskette (5.25", 3.5".)

This is a good option for those people who have access to PC's
but don't have access to an Email network, (or don't want to pay
for one.)

DragonByte also offers the option of returning your turn
printout via Email, diskette, or paper.  Of course, the
electronic options, Email and diskette, are cheaper than
the paper option.

One company I used to play with, Quest Games, started using
optical character cards (you know, darken the little box
with a number 2 pencil).  That changed the turn process
from a short and simple task to a long laborious one.
My friends and I quit after a few turns, and we let
Quest know why.
