PBM Unearthed Discussion Area - GrimFinger - 08-07-2022

For those who want to chime in, from time to time, on the PBM Unearthed play by mail newsletter, here's a place for you to discuss it -  the good, the bad, and the ugly of it.


PBM Unearthed - Issue #5 - GrimFinger - 08-09-2022

Well, I just finished writing The Restructuring of PBM – Part 3 for Issue #5 of PBM Unearthed.

Prior to that, I have already picked out a piece of art to adorn the front cover of this very same issue with, so the front cover of Issue #5 is already complete, also.

Hopefully, some of you out there will send me in a submission to help flesh out the rest of Issue #5. Consider it, if you will.

I will do my best to contribute once I actually get some experience in the hobby Tongue

Until then, you could do an article on how you came to learn about PBM games in the first place, what about it tempted or attracted you to give PBM a try, stuff like that.

I'll have a think and see what I can come up with !

Come on, Rob, you know that I need stuff to print in the PBM Unearthed newsletters.

I need all hands on deck - or at a bare minimum, I need as many people as I can get to send in submissions (now and again, if nothing else). It's the surest way to gain an increase in interest in it, I think. And currently, you're carrying a torch for PBM gaming - which means that you light the way for some, even if not for all.

Think about it.

Well, if I'm carrying the torch, what a sad state it must be in Big Grin

Of course I will write something. I've made a start already !

Any progress in getting the old user accounts back ? Or at least emailing the old users asking them to re-register ?

I haven't made any new attempts to restore the old forum user accounts, not since the last time when it yielded hundreds of errors.

And as far as you carrying the torch for PBM, you make a fine torchbearer, my friend.

Another possibility for small articles is if you start in a new game you haven't played in before, a quick note about your experiences getting started with it might be of interest to others.


RE: PBM Unearthed Discussion Area - strudders - 08-11-2022

I will certainly try to do that with the two games I have just signed up for (Heroic Fantasy and En Garde!). Would be great to see some more examples.
