Hi,

Well I can give you my own information but its not that great.

I too am looking for WW4, that should be a great game.

Most games are pay but these are commerical. Others are free to play and are
moderated by one of the many admins floating around. If you are after a
wargame in a fantasy setting, you should find Greg Lindahls web page, in his
FAQ for the group.

I think Paper Mayhem is an American magazine isnt it? I live in the Uk but i
would like to get a copy of it. I hear its basically about wargames not
other such ones as football etc.

Try looking on yahoo for KJC games they have a great amount of fantasy and,
although they are commerical, they are great for newbies and advanced peeps
alike. A good one is either monster island or Quest.

As I say, many PBMs are charged for, but PBeM are ussually free. Try a few
PBeMs before paying would be my advice. As for usuall costs would be �1.50
in the UK.

Hope this helps,

Grooverider
