Any PBEM fans here?

What's PBEM?
Public Bearded Emergency Men?
Sorry, couldn't help myself

PBEM= Play By E-Mail

Games like the old XCom, or 4000 A.D., etc.

Usually they are turn-based strategy games that are played via email.

Aaaa I see. Never tried it before but it sounds like fun.

The guys just saw the guys face and offered some viagra.. whats the big deal? great service if they offer it to who needs it. People always getting such kind of spam... Never had any about pharmacy stuff, perhaps if people ever quits browsing pr0n sites and giving away their contact data..

done that long time ago, don't recall what it was, something with galaxies or such, using a graphical interface and sending moves by email

I like PBEM but in most of them you need to pay to play

pbem would also cover rpg's such as d&d, vampire, amber etc?

in that case i played a *lot* of pbem but that was in the fido era... (and who still knows what that was)

I never cared for the $$ aspect either.

I was mainly guaging interest because I am adding PBEM capabilities to a couple of the games I am working on and will be needing beta testers.

Yeppers, it would also include sports games. Many of the PBEMs evolved out of the old snail mail games.
