Diplomacy: the basic rules are from the Avalon Hill game, with some varients,
and if there is a widely different varient used (like Gunboat, blind, tanks,
etc) the GM will usually explain these in advance so it is clear to all
potential players.  This is the reason this newgroup was created.

Broad Axe Tavern: I'm not sure, but I think this is an elaborate AD&D game
being run through mail and this newgroup (after failing to create their own
group).  Seems like the responsibility is being passed around to various
people at any point in time.

United: this is the game I'm currently running, from the postal game, its a
soccer game where you manage a team, involves setting up a lineup, etc, sorta
like some stat baseball/football/basketball games, except there's less work
for the players.  Rules emailed upon request.

other games: usually from a published boardgame or an existing pbUSmail game
which the rules are usually bought from a hobby store or the writers/GMs
of the pbUSm game.

any questions?

Bob
