  1. I'd almost completely forgotten about the existence of "Play By Mail" games, but apparently they were big enough to warrant as much coverage as consoles. The "It's a Crime" ad feels like it was everywhere in the late 80s. And Wayne might be the most 80s dude imaginable.

    I seem to remember being deeply intrigued by them. But then I got in with a DnD/Warhammer group and probably saved myself a tonne of money in postage.

  6. @benni Verständlich - hast du schon mal daran gedacht, dich an dauerhaftem, kollaborativem #Weltenbau zu beteiligen? Bei #ProjektMyra geht es darum, "mit beliebig vielen Menschen über beliebig viele Jahre gemeinsam eine Welt der Fantasy zu erschaffen" - #CreativeCommons als Hintergrund für Romane und Kurzgeschichten, als Rahmen für #pnpde und die Geschichte im grossen wird über ein #PlayByMail #PBeM (früher #Briefspiel genannt) simuliert - seit über 40 Jahren: myra.wikia.com

  7. I’m stealing the shelves from the fridge. What are you stealing?

    Text reads: You're a burglar. But you can only steal things that mildly inconvenience your victim's. What are you taking? I'm stealing the plate that goes in the microwave.

    Please boost for more suggestions.

  8. Advance Wars By Web
    Advance Wars By Web is a long-standing website allowing for Advance Wars games to take place between players online. It's old enough that it came out before Advance Wars Dual Strike, the first DS Advance Wars game, and has survived long enough to see the release of Dual Strike, Advance Wa

  9. Was ich heute gemacht habe? "Echsengötter" aus der #Phileasson Saga weiter gehört und zehn neue Stichworte in die MyraPedia, unsere #ProjektMyra #Weltenbau Enzyklopädie, eingebaut. Klingt nicht viel. Über 11.000 Artikel auf über 20.000 Seiten sind dennoch eine Menge. für eine #CreativeCommons #pnpde und #playbymail (PBM) Welt myra.fandom.com/

  10. Anyone still playing #PBeM? (#PlayByEmail)

    The last time I played PBeM, I think it was in 2004/2005. It was already an upgraded version, through #YahooGroups. My first PBeM was via #eGroups (before #YahooClubs acquired it and merged as YGroups).

    If I remember correctly, before the Internet, it was played through postal mail. I did not experience it, though I have the same question: anyone still playing #PBM #PlayByMail?
