I wanted to pint you to a cool PDF magazine called
Suspense & Decision. The new issue has a nice promo for Rogue Space in it including the sample the free sample rules!
Thanks for the call out Charles, I hope your readers enjoy it and maybe decide to explore the dark frontier!
Chris,
ReplyDeleteI tell you what, this zine is really enticing to getting started in a PBM game. It has brought to light that these games still exhist and have a decent fan base. The real draw back to this platform is the associated costs.
I'm curious, is there a Rogue Space PBM in the works? I think the mechanics would work well for such a thing. My guess is that the editor thought the same.
I only remember PBM games as ads from Dragon Magazine and The General as kid in the 80's and never actually gave the format a try. I remember the ads for HEROIC FANTASY quite vividly. I like that Charles is still rallying folks around this classic game format and was surprised, but grateful he wanted to include Rogue Space in his PBM magazine!
DeleteI have no plans myself, nor knowledge of a PBM Rogue Space game, but on the Dark Frontier, who know what might happen?
