I publish a boardgame on CD called Fire On The Suns. The CD is basically a
toolkit that allows people to setup and run their own games in the FOTS
universe, but it is highly adaptable to other genre's (other than the
interstellar strategy and conflict game it was designed around).

The map maker program, however, is dedicated to star mapping, and the
programs are not interconnected. Some knowledge of Excel is helpful in
running the games although no programming knowledge is necessary. An
email-responder is not included on the CD, but we have enough examples,
programs, and other material to give you an adequate start, I'm sure.
