It also gives the slightly lower-tech of games such as IF and RPGs a chance
to cheaply send turns and turn results through email. It removes the need
for printers, lazer-toner, paper, envelopes and stamps - and elmininates
differences in turnaround for overseas players. With the advent of graphics
packages, high quality word processors even emailed turns no longer look
boring thru email - we use both PDF and HTML turnsheets to make our own
efforts look as professional as if you were paying for it.
