| | Keeping a "turn-log" for your game on the PBEM Forum is the best way to not only stay in contact with your gaming group, but allows other readers to share in the excitement of your game. | | | The main part of the PBEM Player Settings screen is the lower part where you type a name for your game, and enter the email addresses for all the players next to the names of the available wizards. | | | For further help about setting up AoW games, please have a look at Roger the Rampant's thread How to set up a PBEM game in the AoW1 PBEM forum, and Frogman's Guide to Setting Race's Turn Order in PBEM Games in the AoW Heaven Strategy Section. |

| | civgaming.net - SMAC PBEM |
| | A PBEM is a Play By E-Mail multiplayer game, where a save is passed from one person to another every turn by e-mail. | | | Of course, all types of game are available - just post whatever sort of game you're looking for (be it small/huge map, a team game, a scenario etc.) and there'll most likely be people interested. | | | The main PBEM community at CGN at the moment revolves around SMAC - but as soon as Civ3 multiplayer becomes available, you can bet we'll be the first on the scene. |

| | What's a PBeM? |
| | When we say PBeM at Irony Games, we generally are referring to "role playing" games played via e-mail but the mechanics of war games and strategy-based PBeM's are the same. | | | A PBeM is a game played by electronic mail. | | | Many games can be played, or modified to be played, by electronic mail. |

| | PBeM is wonderful for people (like me) who don't have enough herophiles in their area to keep a game going. | | | The time limit to post in most of my PBeM games is between 2 to 3 days. | | | I'm planning on doing a PBEM Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game with a good friend who's still in the military (hopefully, he hasn't played the game yet). |

| | Another benefit of lurking is that the potential player gets a better feel for how your game is run, as opposed to other PBEM games or, if the player is a complete newbie, how PBEM works, period. | | | One of the nicest aspects of PBEM, like blue-booking, is that what might be embarrassing to roleplay in front of other players is easily accomplished between the player and the GM. | | | Because PBEM requires a significant time investment, I like to make sure the players are enjoying themselves and the direction of the game — it’s worth it for your ego to take a hit or two if it keeps good players around! |

| | The goal is to end confusion and resentment in PBEM games where each player may come to the table with different views as to what constitutes "fair play". | | | I have done some testing tonight and this game is indeed compatible with v1.22 as it's a "modded game". | | | Here I will only be referring to PBEM games where all your opponents are human. |

| | Pegasus Nest: GMing a PBEM |
| | Currently I'm a player in a sanctioned Pern-based freeform PBeM, Far Jordan. | | | A PBeM requires a comparable time commitment, but I've never heard of one finishing in less than a year because the move time is so slow compared to tabletop play. | | | But don't make the game miserable for others who may be cool with the rulings. |

| | Basically, in the context of RPGs, this means that the game is played with players and Gamesmaster communicating and sending moves to each other via email. | | | A lot of PBeMs go belly-up even before the first move is sent, mainly because someone just like you thought that they did want to play, but lost interest after a week. | | | The advantages of a PBeM include: [a] The players won't call out for pizza and make you pay the delivery boy for it. |

| | How to run a PBEM TCS game |
| | A typical TCS turn has a great deal of player interaction, which means that it is virtually impossible to run a TCS game PBEM according to the rules. | | | The solution I used in the GD '40 game was to put the players in the role of a battalion commander and not allow them to manage units individually (unless they really wanted to, but often it only hurt them). | | | The field is wide open here, and has been largely unexplored I think, so I'm sure ideas will become better refined (and just plain better) as more people run TCS games pbem. |

| | WELCOME TO THE NEW PBEM EMPORIUM |
| | Many pbem sites try to be all things to everyone-- I much prefer a site that focuses on a subset of games that it can present really well, such as Aaron Marriner's no Frills amarriner.com or Jim McCann's CONSIMNET. | | | I've seen a lot of webified games hitting the internet lately-- mostly family or Euro style games but also some grognard things like BLUE MAX over at YouPlay.It This is a neat trend. | | | There's almost a glut of tools available now, so I really think that the community is better served by sites that focus on administering a focused subsection of gaming. |
