I play almost totally snail-mail human moderated games - The best are still
as good as they've ever been - a lot of them are now free despite having
superb turnaround, presentation and GMing - Granted I mainly play RPG PBMs,
but I can't honestly say that the golden years of PBM so long ago were ever
as good as NOW for the games I enjoy playing.

Games wot I play?

Day One (www.anj.clara.co.uk)
The Isles (??)
Xott (??)
Highlander : Persecution (??)
Sub Human (no webite that I know of)

Because of the nature of these games I think 'the feel' is superb - You can
honestly imagine your GM sat cross-legged in front of his/her laptop or
desktop PC typing in the prose which a coupla days later will have you
squirming with varying emotions. The depth of detail in most (esp. Day One)
is usually governed by the Player - I likeit deep enough to swim in, and
usually in the likes of these games my toes won't touch the bottom...

Anyone else play hand-mods any more? I asked a few months ago and got no
responses, so I aint holding my breath
