Dungeon Master Forum

Do you remember the old pbm games (Play by Mail). Imagine trying to sell that idea to the current gaming kids!

Never participated, but yes I do. I think corded phones are a hard enough sell, without trying to convince them that we used to game that way

Yes, definitely! It would be really nice to have a memento of the game.

"Hey" back! Yes, sad that we could not arrange a follow-up.
That said, like you and Ian random business has gone up a lot this year, so I would have been a bit more sporadic with my posts. Or else I would have been regular with my posts, and a bit more sporadic with my work. I am not sure which.

Yes, yes, yes, I do see that there is a real dilemma here. In that, while it has been this forum's policy to regard work as a responsibility of workers and posting as a responsibility of posters, the questions of working on posts can cause confusion between the posting of work and the work on posting, especially when responsibility for the posting of the work of posting conflicts, or overlaps with, responsibility for the working on the posting of work.

Jan, you would have been great playing Sir Humphrey Appleby in Yes Minister. You really have British humour nailed.

Never stop, Jan, never stop


And yeah, I was lucky you guys managed to fight for some time when you all got busy to finish up the game, can't believe it went two years! Hard to maintain that commitment level, hence my reluctance to host again, and even to have played in a post-intensive game again (shakes fist at Ameena)
