If you have any additions or corrections, please send them to me at gl8f@virginia.edu. Some of the information on this list is probably out of date, namely the commercial bits. I actively attempt to keep the information about the free magazines, games, and ftp sites up-to-date, but I depend on my readers to keep an eye on the commercial information.

Thanks to Bryan McDonald for compiling the first edition of this list Thanks also to Flagship magazine for providing the Galactic View, a comprehensive list of just about every existing commercial game and GM.

FTP Sites

There is a centralized archive which is mirrored at several sites. The home for the archive is at pbm.com, but that machine is on a slow line and should not be used. The two major mirrors are identical to the main archive, and are:

ftp.erg.sri.com:/pub/pbm

ftp.funet.fi:/pub/doc/games/play-by-mail

Please use the ftp site closer to you: the .fi site is in Finland, while the .com site is in the USA. In addition, there is an old site in Holland (ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl:/pub/pbm) which will be going away soon.

If you wish to upload something to the archive, and just about anything is welcome, please upload it to ftp.erg.sri.com:/pub/INCOMING/pbm and send email to gl8f@virginia.edu to let me know it's there.

Non-commercial computer-moderated PBEM wargames

Game:		Arena

Type:		fantasy arena combat
Duration:	open-ended
Turns:		run once a day
GM:		srt@aero.org (Scott Turner)
Email server:	arena@sun-dimas.aero.org
Status:		On hold pending a few changes.

Description:

Arena burst forth from Scott Turner's fingers after he looked at a Duelmasters' turn. Arena reminds me of the ancient microgame "Melee," designed by Steve Jackson: you begin with a fixed number of points, and spend them to design a gladiator. Unlike Melee, you then send your gladiator off to combat with a set of orders, and the battle is fought without human intervention. Winners grow stronger.

The rules are available from the ftp sites. 

Game:		Atlantis 1.1

Type:		strategic economic/military, fantasy setting
Duration:	open-ended
Turns:		one per week
GM:		jjc@mpa15c.mv-oc.unisys.com
Status:		up and running, accepting new players

Description:

Atlantis 1.1 is an upgrade of Russell Wallace's original Atlantis 1.0 system. Atlantis features multiple faction types, a mostly player-run economy, simple economics, and a simple combat system. The major changes are increased movement for ships and mounted forces, and reduced taxation income. About 124 players are participating as of September, 1994.

The rules are available from the ftp sites, as are back-issues of the player newsletter. If you would like to join, read the rules and then send email to the GM.

Russell has written about half the code for 2.0. If you are interested in completing it, write him at rwallace@vax1.tcd.ie. 

Game:		Celestial Empire

Type:		strategic economic/military space-opera
Duration:	close-ended, 30+ turns
Turns:		one per week
GM:		Dougal.Scott@fcit.monash.edu.au
Status:		occasionally starting new games

Description:

Players compete to capture worlds which produce many different types of resources, of which different amounts are needed to manufacture various items. The author, Dougal Scott, is running several games, and he periodically starts new ones. The rules can be ftped from yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au in the directory /pub/celemp. After you have read them, if you still want to join a game, send your name to Dougal at the address above. He is also looking for a new moderator to take over running his games, because he is graduating. 

Game:		Core Wars (King of the Hill Tournament)

Type:		battling computer programs
Email Server:	pizza@ecst.csuchico.edu, subject of "koth help"
                                         or "koth faq"

Description:

The Pizza Server gives you access to the ``King of the Hill'' ongoing Core Wars tournament. Core Wars was invented in 1984 by D. G. Jones and A. K. Dewdney. A May 1984 article in Scientific American discusses it.

More information about Core Wars in general may be found in the rec.games.corewar FAQ, available from the email server, or via anonymous ftp from ftp://soda.berkeley.edu/pub/corewar. Most discussion about Core Wars will be found on the Usenet newsgroup rec.games.corewar. 

Game:		Diplomacy

Type:		email version of Avalon Hill's pure strategy game
Turns:		frequency varies from one per day to one per 2 weeks
                for different games.
Email Server:	judge@morrolan.eff.org     HELP in body of message;
                                           the subject is ignored.

Description:

The Diplomacy Adjudicator is a fully computer-moderated gamemaster for Avalon Hill's Diplomacy boardgame. To get more information from the moderator, send email with the word "HELP" in the body of the message (the subject is ignored) to judge@morrolan.eff.org. There are also other judges available, but most games are run on the EFF judge. The diplomacy Hall of Fame is available via ftp from ftp.netcom.com, directory /pub/starkey.

Diplomacy is probably the biggest PBEM game out there, with 251 games going as of September 15, 1994. I'd estimate at least 1,000 players are active in one or more games. Most discussion related to Diplomacy takes place on the newsgroup rec.games.diplomacy.

Game:		Galactic Conqueror (German language)

Type:		strategic, economic/military, space opera setting
Duration:	typically 25-30 turns
Turns:		typically 1 per week
GM:		hz@zardoz.ping.de (Harry Zimmermann)

Description:

Galactic Conqueror is strategic SF-PBeM-Game for up to 50 players. Each player starts the game with a small fleet of starships and is the owner of one of several hundred planets. The winner is determined by an point system which gives points for specific actions each turn. The first player who reaches a pre-set winning score will be the winner of the game. Since there are almost no trade options in the game, player interaction mostly concerns negotiations about borders and coordination of attacks or defense. Players can:

     o invest in science
     o build industrial facilities and strongholds on planets
     o build ships (26 different classes)
     o attack enemy or neutral planets
     o engage in espionage or corruption
     o and much more...

At the start of the game, each player can see only 4-10 planets, whose coordinates are given relative to his own starting-planet. Every time a new planet is conquered, all planets up to a given distance from this new one are revealed.

The rules and an Atari ST and PC Clone client can be ftped from ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl, in the directory /pub/pbm/Galactic_Conqueror. The clients are graphical point-and-click interfaces to the game. You could play without a client, but this is not recommended. An X11 client is in the works, as is an eventual translation of the rules into English.

Game:		Galaxy

Type:		strategic, economic/military, space opera setting
Duration:	typically 50-80 turns
Turns:		typically 1 or 2 per week
Email Server:	galaxy@acca.nmsu.edu, Subject: HELP [ but it's dead ]
GM:		bampton@cs.utk.edu (Howard Bampton) [ blind galaxy only ]
GM:		roger@bimcore.emory.edu (Roger Dingeldine) [ blind galaxy ]
GM:		rwallace@vax1.tcd.ie (Russell Wallace)

Description:

The game typically takes place on a 100x100 2D map, with a few hundred planets and 20 to 50 players. Players compete to capture planets, which can be used for economic expansion. You can purchase technology in several different areas, allowing your ships to fight harder and move faster. Galaxy turns range in size from 10kbytes early in the game to 100-200kbytes late in the game.

The rules and source code are available for ftp, or via the email server, whose address is galaxy@acca.nmsu.edu. It takes commands in the subject line. Start with "help". There is also (at the moment) a separate mailing-list server at galaxy-request@acca.nmsu.edu, which has mailing lists with game announcements and discussion of code development. There are 17 games running on this server as of May 11, 1994, with about 200 different players participating.

You can write to humans who run games; they start games occasionally and also have standby positions. They are:

	bampton@cs.utk.edu [ blind galaxy only ]
	roger@bimcore.emory.edu [ blind galaxy only ]
	rwallace@vax1.tcd.ie

Howard Bampton has a variant called "blind" galaxy. You can ftp the source for it from cs.utk.edu:/pub/bampton. It features a wraparound map, a double-blind mail-forwarding system, and you received only limited information about other players other than what you can observe at systems where you have ships. 

Game:           Judgment Day

Type:           strategic economic/military, present day setting
Turns:          one per week
GM:             rwallace@vax1.tcd.ie (Russell Wallace)
Status:         beta-test finished, looking for a moderator

Description:

Judgment Day is a game for up to 25 players. Each player controls an empire which can build weapons and attack each other. When the nukes start flying, remember to duck and cover. The source code is available at the ftp sites or from Russell. 

Game:           Republic of Rome

Type:           Historical (Roman Empire)
Turns:          player-paced

                                         subject is ignored
Description:

RoR is an email adjudicator for Avalon Hill's game Republic of Rome, a cutthroat game of politics set in ancient Rome. All aspects of play are fully automated; there is no human GM. Players control factions of Senators; each turn they must elect officers and vote to raise and deploy forces to fight the many wars that arise; they work to increase the influence and popularity of their own Senators but must also work together to prevent destruction by war or by popular revolt. If Rome falls everyone loses. To get started, buy a copy of the board game, read the rules, then send email to the address above with the word "help" in the body of the message. 

Game:		Star Empires

Type:		strategic empire-building, space setting
Turns:		one per week, 60+ turns per game
GM:		rhl@jambo.mitre.org (Roger Lincoln)
Status:		occasionally starting games; watch rec.games.pbm

Description:

Star Empires is a very simple game which is very addictive. Players compete to control planets, which produce resources which can be used to build various types of ships. There is generally a large amount of diplomacy, and the GM encourages humorous player press releases.

The rules are available for ftp from the Dutch ftp site.

Non-Commercial Sports Games

Game:		Experimental Electronic Baseball League (EEBL)
Type:		sports simulation, american baseball
GM:		peiper@phoenix.cs.uga.edu
Status:		closed, but there is a waiting list

Description:

Managers control a team of 25 major league players and up to 25 minor league players. They set the lineupe, rotation, and develop a coaching plan. If you take your division title, then you can try to win the WorldNet Series.

EEBL is currently in its first season.

Game:		Experimental Electronic Football League (EEFL)

Type:		sports simulation, soccer
GM:		wickart@ichips.intel.com (Bill 'Prune' Wickart)

Description:

Spin-off of the UEFL for playing with rule changes. More detailed control of player positions, wider variety of team resources, matches run by software (you get a nice match chronology; simple-minded, better than a box score). About 12 days per turn, time off around winter holidays, 2 seasons per year. The game is currently full at 100 teams, and there is a waiting list of potential players.

The rules can be ftped from ftp.ecs.soton.ac.uk.

Last Checked: 08mar94 

Game:		Fast Electronic Football League (FEFL)

Type:		sports simulation, soccer
GM:		mange@lysator.liu.se (Magnus Nilsson)

Description:

Spin-off of the EEFL with players wanting to play at a considerably higher rate. Same rules as EEFL, but going with a speed of about 2 days per turn. Currently played by 20 people, but will most probably expand to 30. Previous experience in EEFL is a must to play this game due to the speed of the turns. Everyone playing is assumed to be familiar with all aspects of the game and all EEFL-terminology Players must also be available during almost every weekday, and preferable during weekends too due to a special system with turns running early if many orders are in, making the speed of the game accelerate.

The EEFL rules can be ftped from ftp.ecs.soton.ac.uk.

Game:		Ladder Electronic Football League (LEFL)

Type:		sports simulation, soccer
GM:		ingram@u.washington.edu (Doug Ingram)

Description:

Only some small technical differences from UEFL in actual game play. The big difference is that managers are placed on a ladder, with ladder position (hence, opponents) based on your success. The best play the best, and the worst play the worst (so, eventually, everyone gets to eat wins and losses). The league structure is an attempt to create a league without the positive feedback problems inherent in the UEFL on a long-term basis.

The game is run at a pace of 1 match per week, with newsletter and updated rosters coming out every week. Each week you also get a match result that is more detailed than an EEFL newsletter boxscore but not a minute-by-minute breakdown of the match either. The game currently has 38 managers and a short waiting list. I may expand to add a few new managers or replace any dropouts at the end of any given season. Seasons last about 2/3 of a year, and the first season started in about January of 1994.

The rules are available by email from the commissioner, and recent newsletters can be seen on Bob Pack's *EFL Mosaic site which also contains info on other leagues.

Game:		Strategic Postal Australian Rules Football (SPARF)

Type:		sports simulation
GM:		mel@soda.berkeley.edu

Description:

SPARF is based on the game RAFL, which I wrote in 1985. RAFL was also an Aussie Rules simulation which was intended as a live gaming exercise rather than a PBeM. RAFL had a following of about two dozen players, and died of natural causes around 1987 when I decided I didn't want to run it any more. A few years later, when I got better at UNIX programming, I conceived SPARF and designed it as a RAFL-by-email-with-an-automated server. -- Mel

If you'd like to see the rules, send email to munch@soda.berkeley.edu with the subject "help" to receive information about his game. Note that commands to this server go in the Subject: line, not the body of the message.

Game:           Sugar Ray (German language & English language)

Type:           Boxing Simulation
Duration:       open ended

                Schmidt) (english language)
GM:		gerstnet@informatik.tu-muenchen.de (Thomas Gerstner)
		(german language) (email)

Description:

For each of the five rounds of the fight, every boxer writes down a number describing the strength of his attack and a defense number. If one's attack number exceeds the opponent's defense number, the latter loses endurance points. Unfortunately, high attack/defense numbers also cost endurance. A boxer losing all his endurance points is knocked out.

Basic knowledge of the German language required for the German version. Most results are published in the fanzine Postspillion, but Thomas Gerstner's game is conducted by email. Write the GMs for more details.

Game:		Ultra Cricket

Type:		Sports Simulation
Duration:	14-20 turns/season, seasons start at close of previous season.
Turns:		1/week
Status:		in hiatus while the GM figures out how stable his account is
GM:		ta@ecs.soton.ac.uk

Description:

This game simulates Tests and one day Cricket Games. Cricket is very common game in those countries of the former British Empire and has almost come to replace religion in some nations.

Each person takes on the role of Selector/Manager/Captain. You have a squad of up to 30 players from which you must choose a team for each game, train the players and decide the batting and bowling order and other team tactics. You also have some say in the pitch conditions. Each week you will be asked to select an XI to play in the upcoming matches. This will be called the team. You also decide whether on winning the toss you want them to bat or bowl first, along with the batting and bowling order. This is all fed into the Main programme which plays the match ball by ball. A ball by ball record is made and a scorecard at the end of each innings compiled. Statistics are generated and Man of the Match decided. Those players not in the first XI return to their "clubs" and play for them. Here you get a brief run down on their performance and any injuries suffered by the players during the week.

A season lasts for approximately 4 months. The 5th season had 72 teams in 6 divisions.

The rules can be ftped from ftp.ecs.soton.ac.uk.

Game:		United Electronic Football League (UEFL)

Type:		sports simulation, soccer
GM:		billones@digex.com (Jeremy Billones)

Description:

United Electronic Football -- this is a USer, PBeM version of Alan Parr's game. You create a team of football (soccer) players, each with a position and skill level. Each turn, you pit your lineups against those of your opponents, with relative strengths and random chance determining the final score. If you win, you get more resources for improving your team. You can trade players and other resources, and press wars abound. Honor and glory for the regular- season champion and the winner of the post-season Cup.

UEFL is the original league in the States, 30 teams divided among Upper, Lower, and Rookie divisions. About 2 turns per week, time off for academic breaks, 1 season per year. Currently in season 5. Still the original, still the simplest, still the league that got me addicted in the first place.

Game:		En Garde!

Type:		Historical
Duration:	Open Ended
Turns:		weekly
Status:		Open, contact GM
GM:		Colin Bell (crb11@cus.cam.ac.uk)

Description:

En Garde! is a semi-historical game/simulation representing many of the situations of an Errol Flynn movie set in the Seventeenth or Eighteenth centuries. In En Garde! a player finds himself born into and educated in a world where social climbing is a way of life, and status is a goal to be perused even over money. There are people to be used, friends in high places to be cultivated, enemies to be humiliated, the Cardinal's guard to be trounced, lackies to be abused, the hand of a fair damsel to be won, and the ear of the King to be gained. Come with us now, to those vibrant, bawdy days of yore...

The game has been converted to PBM format from a roleplay system devised by GDW. The game mechanics are simple and reasonably easy to grasp: the main fun is the roleplay and player interaction. The game has now been going for about 3 years. Turn adjudication is done by a program, but the orders still have to be entered by hand.

Status:         about 20 players, no waiting, expansion ad lib.
GM:             Siegrist@elde.epfl.ch
  
Description:

Each player has 2 chips moving on a 25x25 board. If you land on another player's chip, you exchange some resources (usually good for the aggressor). If the square is unowned, the aggressor may buy it. Invent a business that helps others play the game, sell your product, and become rich. Each week, the richest player gets bragging rights.

The GM provides the playing field, basic movement, and suggestions. Players create businesses that expand on the capabilities of other players. Items which make you a more potent aggressor, defensive items, or items which allow you to move in new and interesting ways can be bought. Lotteries and treasure hunts are organized.

The game takes 1 to 2 hours a week to plan moves.

Description:

Each player leads a political party in the Federal Republic of Germany (before 1990). Election campaigns are held in the Bundeslaender. Because it's unlikely to reach absolute majority in the Bundestag (Federal parliament) or the Landtage (State parliaments), you have to cooperate with other parties to achieve your political goal (which is, of course, rise to power and keep it!).

Game:           WarpWar
 
Type:           tactical spaceship design and combat

GM:             emc@m-net.arbornet.org (Evan M Corcoran)

Description:

WarpWar is an old Microgame from Metagaming dealing with spaceship combat and interstellar war. It features non-random simultaneous combat and individualized ship design. It is played PBEM with human referees and a number of variant rules, and an email server is in the works. There is an e-zine devoted to discussion of new rules and player contact. Note: Since WarpWar is still owned by Howard Thompson, you MUST own your own copy of the game to play.

Game:		Empire Deluxe

Description:

A commercial single or multi-player game with a play-by-mail mode. You are the commander of a country with World World II era combat units and production facilities. Buy it wherever you find software. There are PC and Mac versions probably; I'm not sure if the Atari ST and Amiga "Deluxe" versions were released, and the original didn't have play-by-mail. 

Game:		Medieval War
Ftp from:	ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl:/pub/pbm/misc

Description:

From the README file, looks like a game very similar to xconq or Empire Deluxe, mentioned above. Can be played single-player or play-by-mail; your cities build units and you move them around. In play-by-mail mode, you do one turn, save the game, mail the save-file off to the other players, they play a move, mail it back, and so forth.

Requires Windows 3.1. Shareware.

Game:		Plateau
Ftp from:	ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl

A 2-player abstract strategy game which can be played by mail. You will have to have access to the utility programs uudecode, uncompress, and tar to read this source, plus a C compiler to compile it. 

Game:		Spaceward Ho!

Spaceward Ho! is a commercial game from Delta Tao Software (Mac and PC) in which the player is pitted against computer and human players in a struggle to conquer the galaxy. The game includes a good combination of strategy with sheer enjoyment (a balance not always easily attained). Currently, the Macintosh 3.x.x versions are played through mail by passing the game file from one player to the next. (Essentially, each player plays one turn, compresses and binhexes the game file, and sends the file on to the next player.) For more info on how to play through mail, send mail with the subject of SPHO Info (Case is important) to woodburn@indirect.com. 

Game: VGA Planets 3.0
Ftp from: ftp.ucsc.edu, directory /PC/vgaplanets-3.0

Description:

A shareware multi-player strategic space game for PC-Clones. You control a race of beings attempting to conquer the universe. Players use a graphical interface to enter their turns, and then send a binary file to the moderator, who runs them through a program that processes the turn. A review of version 2.1 appears in PBEM volume 92 # 6. Keep in mind that lower ship numbers get to attack first -- this isn't mentioned in the manuals, and it's important to take this into account.

Game:		Adventurer's Guild
Type:		Combat/Adventuring
Duration:	Open Ended
Turns:		Once every two weeks.  Option of having a "traveler"
		status which will fight you in the next guild
		processed (minimum of two weeks in between each turn).
GM:		Computer moderated
Costs:		$9.75 for the first character, $9.00 for each
		additional character in the same guild. Rules $3.50.

Description:

AG is sort of like a D&D game. You have numerous races to choose from for characters. You can fight in the guild which will put you in a group of eight with a round-robin format. You may then fight an extra fight (no additional cost) versus a single opponent or many (for both sides). Team fights happen frequently. If you prefer not to fight in the guild you can go adventuring with a party (1 to 8 people) to the numerous adventure sites. Travel between the guilds is possible if you wish a change of scenery. Gods play a role in the AG realm and you may swear devotion to the God of your choice. The turns are laser printed (15 to 20 pages single-sided) and include a newsletter.

Opinion:

AG is everything that Duelmasters kept promising to add for the three years I played (adventuring, team fights, etc). You have total control of your character and his/her design. The customer service is outstanding. If you send in questions with your turn, you receive them with your results. The GM is constantly adding additions to the game to make it even better. If you like Duelmasters or the concept, AG is for you. -- burgesmw@cnsvax.uwec.edu

Game:		Adventurer Kings

Type:		Fantasy War Game
Duration:	15-25 turns
Turns:		Weekly for email on CIS, 2 weeks/turn for snailmail
GM:		computer-moderated

Description:

A completely computer-moderated game of world conquest. One of its nicest features is SAGA: the turn input/output program. You can either download your turns from Compuserve, or receive diskmailers. It also helps you avoid many errors.

Opinion:

An excellent game, with a lot of factors which work well together. The SAGA program makes any entry errors your own, and Dave Snell seems to really work hard to make playing an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended. - minnotte@rice.edu (Michael Minnotte)

Not terribly complicated, but a good fun game, made more so by the ease of Saga. - ry@attunix.att.com (Ryerson Schwark)

An excellent game, much deeper than it first appears. Dave Snell (the GM) is one of the best in the business - joey.browning@datadim.com (Joey Browning)

Duration:       Max 40 turns, usually around 20-25
Turns:          Optional 2 or 3 week turnaround - phone & fax turns accepted
GM:             Computer-moderated
Cost:           $15.00 rules, setup, first 2 turns. $7.00/turn for

                (refunded on turn 10) of $15.00 for basic and $25.00
                for advanced games

Description:

Global conquest with roughly 1000 distinct command options. Players are given command of 1 of 15 races (Dragon, Elf, Witchlord) and victory conditions. The player must balance politics, economics, military and magic in order to be successful.

Opinions:

This is a complex game; the rule book alone is ~50 pages. There is considerable need for player interaction/team games are available. A very good game of its type. RSI does an excellent job at customer service. The games may be pricey for some tastes. - stdaughney@chemical.waterloo.edu (Steve Daughney)

Game:           Armed Forces Commander
Type:           Tactical Wargame
Turns:          Once every eighteen days.
Duration:	?
GM:		Computer moderated
Costs:          $20.00 setup - includes rules and 5 turns. $5.00/Turn
                Rules $2.00.  Player orders can be sent by email.

Description:
Armed Forces Commander is a game of world domination. Based on a hex grid, the maps are laser printed using graphics which depict the individual NATO unit symbols and all terrain. Players can raise the technology levels of their cities in order to build deadlier land, sea, and air units. Units can be "stacked" into more formidable "corps", and both sea and air transports can be used to move units behind enemy lines.

The game is of moderate complexity, with little or no diplomacy required. Unit characteristics can be "seen" on the symbols, and well organized tables/charts are used in the turnsheets for ease of play.

Type:		Fantasy Empire-building
Duration:	20 turns
Turns:		1 turn/month
GM:		human
Cost:		$10.00 setup, $3.00/turn (both cheaper in Tucson)

Description:

Build an empire in a fantasy world filled with large and interesting armies of various races, personages, artifacts and spells. Create your society to reflect your goals, and build your army from 90 possible unit types! From the mundane Human Archers, Pikemen, and Knights; to Naval units like Galleys and Longships, to Centaur Knights, Ogres, Wind Whales and other flying units like Griffons & Dragons, Dinosaur Knights and Pteranodon scouts, Dwarf Axemen, Elfin War Dogs and Walking Trees, Gnomic Slingers and Talking Stones, Rocs, Storm Giants, Ice Worms and Eskimos Militia, Orcic Spearmen and Wargriders, Amazon Guards, Paladins, Chaos Mutants, Werewolf Legions, Vampire Knights, Morlocks, even Deep Ones, Sea Serpents, Shoggoth, and Dolphin Scouts. 12 terrain types, 22 location types (like Ruined City, Dwarf Mines, Necropolis, Elf Wood, and the standard City), 22 metaspells, 36 ancient artifacts, 30 neutral personages you can hire (like Sardior Dragonlord and Harun the Prophet), and lots more. Great fun.

Opinion:

This is great. A workable system for fantasy armies at last. The rules set is similar to Lords Of The Earth, the historical empire-building pbm from Wanderer, but simplified to make it more fun. I highly recommend this pbm. -- warden@rt66.com (Scott Micheel)

Type:		Space Conquest and Economic
Duration:	Open ended
Turns:		Three a week.  Possibly starting a once a week game.
GM:		Computer moderated
Costs:		$1-7.20 depending on number of actions taken

Description:

Conquest and Destiny is an open-ended role playing game in which every player commands their own race of custom designed beings. Your goal is to establish your race within the galaxy and to strive for greatness, sometimes working with other players, sometimes against them.

Conquest and Destiny is a multi-player Play-by-Electronic-Mail computer game. You control the actions of your race by sending turns through modem or by mail. These turns contain the actions that you wish your race to do. In each turn, you can perform anywhere between 10 and 120 actions. After sending your turns onto the Gamemasters, it is processed in conjunction with every other players turn for that stardate. The results of your actions will then be sent back to you. You may participate as often or as seldom as you wish, for as long as you feel like playing.

Game:		CTF2187

Type:		Tactical robot combat
Duration:	~ 20 turns?
Turns:		two to three weeks per turn, or 5 weeks for a slow game
GM:		Computer moderated
Costs:		$3.50 for rules, $3.50 per turn

Description:

CTF2187 is a robot combat game, somewhat like Battletech. 2 or 4 teams (total 12-18 players) are placed on a grid. The object is to maximize the team score while surviving. Bots range from light/agile gnats to massive death-dealing cyclops.

This is a simple game system, but allows for a fair amount of subtlety. Its strong points are ease of learning, and lots of team play. Not incredibly realistic, but that doesn't seem to be a goal. The down side is that random variables matter about as much as differences in skill. -- Ken Arora (kenarora@mipos2.intel.com)

Game:		Duelmasters

Type:		Gladiator combat
Duration:	Completely open-ended w/advancement to higher levels
Turns:		Optional two or four week turn around - Phone turns
		accepted
GM:		Computer moderated
Costs:		$3.25 + $1.50/warrior up to a max. of 5 in an arena
		Free initial set-up and rules.

Description:

Players manage a stable of five gladiators within an arena context against other players. The gladiators are assigned an initial 70 points in 7 areas (strength, wit, etc.) and 14 additional points are allotted to personalize the warrior. Beyond this, managers are responsible for training and strategy. There is also considerable space in the game for role-playing and diplomatic interaction with other players.

Opinions:

Looks simple, but the game is brilliantly programmed and a continuous learning experience. Results are laser printed. RSI does an excellent job with customer service. Although the game is costly, it is very addictive and well worth the price. - stdaughney@chemical.waterloo.edu (Steve Daughney)

Duelmasters is one of the friendliest games I've been involved in. Role-playing is highly encouraged, the Duelmasters Sponsor program can put beginning players ("newbies") in touch with the most experienced and successful managers right away, and Customer Service has taken a definite turnaround. The results are beautifully printed, and always full of surprises. A little on the expensive side (as much as $10.75/turn) but for my money, it's definitely worth it! - dfcleary@ucdavis.edu (Dennis Cleary)

Game:		A Duel of A Different Color

Duration:       Completely open-ended w/advancement to higher levels
Turns:          Optional two or four week turn around
GM:             Computer moderated
Costs:          $5.00 for 5 students characters
		Rules $5.00, Initial set-up: Rules and 2 turns for $13.00

Description:

Players instruct a team of five students within a duel context against other players for academic advancement. The students are assigned an initial value of 41 points in 4 areas. (strength, dexterity, intelligence, and life points) and additional traits are used to personalize the student. Instructors are responsible for guiding the students development. There is some space in the game for role-playing and diplomatic interaction with other players. The results in this game are very interesting, in that, output is give in a narrative form, rather than, raw statistics.

Opinions:

This game looks simple, but like Duelmasters, it is brilliantly programmed. FD has taken time with their product and service. The narratives are great and just have to be seen. They claim to use some state-of-the-art story generation system. Also, they claim that their NPCs use Genetic Algorithms and Neural Nets for learning. -- nyctasia@rhostshyl.cit.cornell.edu (Natasha A. Davis)

Costs:		$4/turn, $60 for the entire game paid in advance.  Setup is

Opinions:

The balance of the game is excellent - maybe too good. Lucky placement plays a significant role in victory, and this may frustrate players determined to win. Skillful play is still the most significant factor, so players determined to do well should have no problems. It will appeal to UCSD empire players. I highly recommend this game. - griffith@dweeb.fx.com (Jim Griffith)

Type:		Strategic/modern day
Duration:	36 turns or less

GM:		Computer Moderated
Costs:		$1.50/turn (4 orders), $3.00/turn for a double order turn
		(10 orders, competitive players will want to issue double
		order turns every turn), $1.50 extra for "extended New York
		Post reports", $1.50 extra for phoned-in orders.  Setup is
		free, first two turns are free.

Description:

Player is the leader of a 1990's New York street gang. City is a 100x100 grid with 500 initial gangs. Gangs have a number of different orders they can issue to build their strength and hose rival gangs.

Opinions:

The game parameters are simplistic, because the game was originally intended as a test game. The game does contain "magic numbers" that give an experienced player an advantage over an inexperienced one. The variability of orders makes the game a lot of fun. GAMES Magazine placed it in its top 100 games a few years back. I highly recommend it. - griffith@dweeb.fx.com

This is a decent game for people new to the pbm market to cut their teeth on, except for that fact that every time you turn around they have another $1.50 charge to hit you with after advertising that it is an inexpensive game at $1.50 a turn. Being 100% computer moderated also lends an air of sterility to it. - bigmac@erg.sri.com (Bryan McDonald)

There are a number of political factions, each with it's own agenda, or it is possible to start your own if you have enough people rallied around your cause. Plenty of monsters to fight, treasure to be won, and NPC's to convert or conquer.

Realm of the Immortals: Same as above, but with a theme. The land as it exists is in peril of being conquered by the Overlord who has been laying siege to various cities for a number of years. The Overlord is generally a nasty person, being concerned with raising undead armies and sending them against his enemies.

Opinion:

The game emphasizes flexibility - there are around 200 different orders you can issue, plus "special orders" which let you do non-standard stuff. This is a *lot* of fun to play, especially if you have friends in the same game. Main problem is that Midnight Games' phone line is *always* busy. - griffith@dweeb.fx.com (Jim Griffith)

Great concept, not-so-great execution. Rules are hard to understand, and program is notoriously buggy. Midnight is taking steps to correct this in the new Legends II forthcoming. Still, there's nothing else like it out there for sheer size and scope. - joey.browning@datadim.com (Joey Browning)

                3 Month Subscription to GSI strategy magazine, 2 Free Turns)

Description:

Conquest and Adventure in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world of Middle Earth. In each game, there are 25 players who take on the role of a Dark Servant (10), Free Peoples (10), or a Neutral (5). The goal of the game is for Good to destroy all of Evil (or vice versa). An optional victory is attained by delivering the ONE RING to Mt. Doom or to Sauron. Each player controls a kingdom and individual characters. In many ways similar to Alamaze, but more developed.

Opinions:

THE BEST PBM I HAVE EVER PLAYED!! Your turns are laser printed and you receive updated kingdom maps every turn w/ updated character sheets for your heroes. If you in in love with Tolkien's books, this is THE GAME for you. ME-PBM has been programmed in consultation with Iron Crown Enterprises (I.C.E.), makers of the Middle Earth Role Playing System. - Zach Harman (zharman@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu)

Type:		Science Fiction
Duration:	25-35 turns.
Turns:		2-3 week turn around.  Slow (monthly) turnaround also
		available.  Turns can be sent and received by email.
GM:		Computer moderated.
Costs:		$7-10/turn, $5 setup, $3 rules.

Description:

Fairly complex game involving colonizing other planets and fighting on planets and in space. Also has a role-playing element (you have a bunch of characters to run your empire).

Opinions:

Too complicated to be playable, not complicated enough to be realistic. - purtill@dimacs.rutgers.edu (Mark Purtill)

Having been a long time FBI customer and a Mobius player, I felt that the review for that game was rather unjustified. The game is certainly somewhat more complex than, say Starweb, but considerably simpler that Empyrean Challenge (to stay in the same genre), very well run (FBI's customer service is absolutely the best, their error rate extremely low and their turnaround quite regular) and I would recommend the game heartily. It is interesting for its introduction of some role playing into what is a primarily strategic game. Try it! - Henri_Hayim_Farhi@cup.portal.com

Good service, but be prepared to spend a lot of money and a lot of time number crunching. Not bad, but not great either. - minnotte@rice.edu (Mike Minnotte)

GM:		Computer moderator

Description:

Player plays a monster (orc, goblin, elf types) washed up on shore of Monster Island, there to survive, have fun, kick butt, and generally act monsterish.

Opinions:

Huge mongo game; can accommodate 15,001 monsters in the same game (the map is about the size of Australia). Computer keeps track of over 2100 statistics for each monster, and over 120 for each square. Beautiful custom laser-printed results every turn. - warden@rt66.com (Scott Micheel)

Opinions:

Best RPG I have seen on the market. The GM is highly involved and cares about his game and that his players enjoy it. This game is definitely for people wanting to role play with others, not against the game itself. - bigmac@erg.sri.com (Bryan McDonald)

Duration:       open ended
Turns:          once per week, email only
GM:             computer moderated
Costs:          flat rate US$2.50/turn

Description:

Olympia features a vast map, simultaneous turn execution, magic, combat, skills, rare artifacts, exploration, trade, strange monsters, etc.

Rather than ``phases'', Olympia has realistic time. Each turn has 30 days. Orders are rated for how many days they take to complete. Orders which don't finish by the end of the turn simply continue into the next.

Most players control 10-15 characters, and receive a 15-25 page report. The size of the report varies depending on whether the player concentrates development in a few characters, or pursues an empire building strategy.

Name:		Phoenix

Type:		space diplomacy, economic, and combat game
Duration:	20-40 turns
Turns:		1, 2, or 3 times a week, or as requested
GM:		computer moderated
Costs:		$2.50 per turn, $15 for 150-page rulebook

Description:

Phoenix is a PBEM space game of diplomacy, exploration, economic expansion, and military conquest for novice and expert players alike. Each player controls a space empire composed of one of seven different racial types expanding from a single homeworld. The goal is to control over half of the galaxy, either singly or jointly with up to a quarter of the players in the game. The size of the galaxy scales with the number of players. Beginners are encouraged to start in smaller games to become accustomed to the system, and then move to larger games.

The Player's Guide is filled with examples and strategy hints. A turn may contain up to 200 orders. Game sizes range from 2 to 20 players. Single player games are available for $1/turn to practice racial strategy, and to help new players learn the rules.

A graphical interface for MS-DOS players will be available shortly. The rules may be ftped from ftp.netcom.com:/pub/den/phoenix/. A WWW homepage is available as ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/den/html/den.html.

Game:		Roadkill 2115

Type:		Science Fiction / post-holocaust / Road Warrior
Duration:	Open-Ended
Turns:		Sequential
GM:		Mixed/Garet Jax
E-mail Server:	ImagnryEnt@aol.com

Description:

Set in the far future where anything that moves has a weapon with it, Roadkill 2115 is the first non-sporting PBM game from Imaginary Enterprises. While there are still kinks in the game, the players in it so far have given it good reviews and it looks like it can only go forward. Being of a mixed moderation gives it the fairness of a computer while allowing the flexablitly to do what you want. 3 characters of 5 different races, and 8 different occupations search burned out cities of the U.S. for ways to survive, and become powerful forces where the guy with the biggest guns leads the pack. Heavy on mysteries, the 20+ page rule book only lets you have enough information to start out, leaving you to find out the rest yourself.

                following that. No turn fees.
Sol III is an alternate earth with an alternate history. 5 periods have been chosen to adventure in, and all of them are open-ended with no player cap. We have a full staff of 7 GM's to insure rapid responses, and this is our 5th year as a professional Play By E-Mail company. The 5 Time Frames are: 1203 AD, 1893 AD, 1988 AD, 2023 AD, and 2603 AD.

There are no turn sheets since the game is actually more of a true role-playing game than most, and as such, resembles Interactive Fiction. Players may adventure solo, in teams, open shops, engage in politics, and anything else that they can imagine.

Type:		Space Opera
Duration:	Open ended.

Description:

You have a command ship that can move around a 2-D galaxy, and a bunch of ships. You can only move those ships with 7 squares of your command ship, and your goal is to become emperor, and then to stay emperor.

Opinion:

Easy to play and pretty results, but essentially brainless and dull. - minnotte@rice.edu (Michael Minnotte)

		turnaround also available.  Turns can be sent and received

GM:		Computer moderated.

Description:

Opinion:

Classic! Lots of ways to win, for diplomats and generals alike. - minnotte@rice.edu (Michael Minnotte)

Lots of diplomacy, game system simple but not trivial. I like it. - purtill@dimacs.rutgers.edu (Mark Purtill)

Not just lots of diplomacy but **LOTS** of diplomacy -- but remember, that's usually by phone (FBI also has blind, net, and other variants). My phone bill was too high! - amead@psych.uiuc.edu (Alan Mead)

Game:		Swords of the Gods

Type:		Fantasy Simulation (World Conquest and Hunt)
Duration:
Turns:		2 week turnaround (probably other options as well)
GM:		Computer Moderated
Cost:		was $3/turn in 1989

Description:

Based on Saberhagen's Book of Swords series, each player is a minor noble trying to capture the twelve swords of power (which will presumably lead to world domination; you don't actually have to conquer everything). Essentially a relatively simple wargame. Things are complicated by the presence of spell-casting wizards, the swords (each with its power), and twelve gods which provide boons for their favorites and problems for their most hated lord. You must also balance soldiers to fight for you with keeping enough peasants in the field producing food and increasing your population.

Opinion:

An inexpensive, simple, fairly interesting game. Nothing spectacular. - minnotte@rice.edu (Michael Minnotte)

Company: Galactic Simulations

Game:		TAKAMO

Type:		Space Empire-Building
Duration:	Open ended.
Turns:		From 1/ten days to 1/month, depending on which galaxy.
GM:		Computer run, human moderator for questions & problems.
Costs:		$2.50 to $15.00/turn
		Rules/Setup/2 free turns all for $10.00 

Description:

Players play empire builders, nomads, pirates, smugglers, traders, agribusinesses, miners, or (ick) cybers in a quest to explore the galaxy and tame it while making lots of bucks and trying to avoid getting into interstellar wars (or perhaps trying to start some).

Opinions:

Interesting game, not *too* complicated, but full of complex details that may arise during play. Long-running game, the first galaxy started in 1983. There is a closed-ended version too, TAKAMO II. - warden@rt66.com (Scott Micheel)

Name:		You Rule!
Type:		fantasy strategic war game
Duration:	20-30 turns
Turns:		1 week, 2 week, and 3 week turnaround time available
GM:		computer-moderated
Costs:		rules are $7.50, setup and turn one are $10,
		snail mail is $5.50/turn, email is $4.50/turn

Description:

You Rule! is a strategy war game with a sense of humor. There are six races that have a scissors-paper-stone relationship. Each province is inhabited by one of the six races and has one of a variety of special features. Victory is obtained by training forces of different races to conquer other provinces. There are ten different character types that can be trained, including wizards that can cast a variety of spells. Other features include castles, magic items, weapons, magic portals, theft and assassination. Turns are laser- printed and include a personalized map.

Opinions:

I have been participating in You Rule! as one of the playtesters. I have thoroughly enjoyed the game. For me, it has just the right level of complexity. The combat system has no hidden program features that need to be discovered by the players. All of the applicable formulas are made available in the rules, but you do not need to be a number cruncher to play. It is quite interesting trying to balance the economic factors associated with commodities and gold. It also takes some planning to mount an attack on an opponent since your troops need food every turn requiring either a large stockpile or an adequate supply line. I would highly recommend this game to anyone interested in strategic wargames.

Thus far, I have been impressed with Llucky Llama. They have been very responsive to suggestions for improvement and have promptly answered any and all game related questions. The ability to play the game via email is also very convenient. -- David Saville (dsaville@argo.unm.edu)

Galactic View:

The following section is the Galactic View, courtesy of Flagship magazine. Many thanks to them for providing this to me. Any errors were probably introduced by my editing job. This version dates from Mar 1994. The European game list and GM list follows the entire US list, so keep on going. A british pound symbol is rendered as '#'.

How to read the Galactic View tables:

GM shows if the game is run by computer (C), human (H) or mixed
(M). Ref shows the issue of FLAGSHIP where you can find the best
description so far in the magazine: a=article, s=Spokesmen Speak,
r=Rumors from the Front, d=Diary, l=Late News. Thus, 4s means
'Spokesmen Speak Issue #4'.  For the Other Fees column, the following
notes apply: (a) More for larger positions or later turns in the game,
(b) More for battle reports, (c) More for extended orders, (d) More
for several possible extras, (e) Fee covers entire game.* next to
Rules & Startup indicates deposit returnable if you play to the end of
the game, or prepayment discounts available (see moderator for
details). There is usually a small surcharge for players from other
countries than the GM. Occasional optionals like a newsletter are not
included in the prices unless we judge that they are fairly frequent
and essential for the enjoyment of the game. Some GMs give discounts
if you pay for a batch of turns in advance. Finally, the FLAGSHIP
editors' personal recommendations of games to try appear in the last
column. J=Joey Browning, P=Nicky Palmer, T=John Tindall. All prices in
the currency of the GM.

Removed: Lots! See GM list for the purge this issue

Added: Armageddon's Aftermath, Bloody Blade, Realm of Shaharasi, World 
War 2 Campaign (Canada)

GM change: Emperor of Space is mixed-mod, not computer-mod

This is a list of PBM companies believed by FLAGSHIP to be operating
at the time this issue is published. This is offered as a service to
our readers to assist them in selecting the games they may want to
play. Moderators listed below are cross-indexed by a company code to
the game register on the following pages. Moderators are strongly
encouraged to check the listings here and verify their accuracy;
please notify one of the editors if you find an error or
omission. There is no cost to moderators for this service. We'd also
be very grateful if readers who find an error here, or who learn of a
new game not listed, would pass the word on to us here at FLAGSHIP.
   To sign up for a game, find it on the list below, find the company
running it on your company list, and send them the sum under Rules &
startup. You will be sent a rulebook and any starting materials (order
sheets, maps, etc.) needed, and you will be given the number of free
turns listed under Free Turns. After that, the cost per turn is as
shown in the Turn Fee column. Where we are uncertain about the status
of a company, we've marked them with a '?'.

How to read the Galactic View Tables:

GM shows if the game is run by computer (C), human (H), mixed (M) or
play-by-disk (D). Ref shows the issue of FLAGSHIP where you can find
the best description so far in the magazine: a=article, s=Spokesmen
Speak, r=Rumours from the Front, l=Late News, d=diary. Thus, 4s means
'Spokesmen Speak issue #4'. E refers to the extra news issue after
#33. For the Other Fees column, the following footnotes apply:(a) More
for larger positions or later turns in the game, (b) More for battle
reports, (c) More for extended orders/longer reports, (d) More for
several possible extras, (e) Fee covers entire game. * next to Rules &
startup indicates deposit returnable if you play to the end of the
game, or prepayment discounts available (see moderator for
details). Next to turnfee it means that return postage is paid by the
GM each turn. S, by contrast, means you need to send an SSAE. # next
to Ref indicates a game 'friendly' to non-UK players: deadlines at
least two weeks apart and non-UK prices not more than 30% above those
listed here. ! indicates a game included in the
Supercoupon. Occasional optional extras like a newsletter are not
included in the prices unless we judge that they are fairly frequent
and essential for enjoyment of the game. Some GMs give discounts if
you pay for a batch of turns in advance.

New entries: Bad Call, Gridiron Coach
Games deleted since last issue:

After 6 deletions and 16 additions, the list now shows 293 UK-run
games. Note that prices are for the UK: non-UK European rates are
usually about 25% higher, and overseas rates can be up to double.

This is a list of PBM companies known to FLAGSHIP to be operating at
the time this issue was published. This is offered as a service to our
readers to assist them in selecting the games they may want to
play. GMs listed below are cross-indexed by a company code to the game
register on the following pages.  GMs to whom payment should be made
by name are listed by name rather than company. GMs are strongly
encouraged to check the listings here and verify their accuracy;
please notify one of the editors if you find an error or
omission. There is no cost to GMs for this service. We would also be
very grateful to readers who let us know of any errors here, or who
can tell of a new game not listed.
   To sign up for a game, find it on the list below, find the firm
running it on your company list and send them the sum under Rules &
startup. You will be sent a rulebook and any starting materials (order
sheets, maps etc.) needed and you will be given the number of free
turns listed under Free Turns. After that, the cost per turn is as
shown in the Turn Fee column. Where we are uncertain about the status
of a firm, we've marked them with a '?'.
