Sounds good back can we really go back? I recall queuing around the

block to get into the Royal Horticultural Hall for Games Day '80.

Could that still happen? 'If you build it they will come'? I duuno,

are those sorts of games still popular enough or has the PC sucked up

that market? I'm certainly not saying it can't happen I just have this feeling

that there wouldn't be the same response.

But yeah, I agree. I got into PBM through a Saturnalia flier at GD '85 - PBMs

and RPGs mix well. United we stand etc. I guess it's got to be lead by the people

making livelihoods out of PBM (Madhouse etc) rather than the hobby-ists like me

who seem to run most of the hand moderated stuff these days.

I'm sorry, I can't argue unless you've paid.
