Mayday PBEM

[Jeffr0]

I believe that Mayday would be well suited to a PBEM format. (I think that a player could give pretty fair instructions for his entire turn in a single email, so things should move pretty fast.)

If anybody'd like to play, propose a scenario (one from the book or one of your own.) The player who accepts the game gets to choose which side he plays. From there, I'll take care of all the record keeping and die rolls for both sides.

The rules I have are from the big floppy book.

Anybody up for a game??

sorry to sound like a salesman for Cyberboard but you should check this PBEM tool. I don't have Mayday rules but do have Triplanetary. People have built Cyberboard gameboxes for both. Be great to get a couple PBEM games going.

S!

Enoff, that is quite enough with the freakin promos for cyberboard. Unless the 'packages' for these games are made by someone with a license to make and distribute them they are in violation of copyright law. Do not continue to promote them here.

Well has the possibility been discussed of MWM giving the nod to people to allow them to make some officially approved Aide-de-Camp modules or Cyberboard gameboxes? From Consimworld discussion and other similar places that's the only way a lot of boardgames of this type*, old or new, get played at all these days. Both players still need to own the original game.

It could be a great addition to the games reprint book. IMO a cd with the book could be a good incentive and there are several of the top boardgame companies that release files for one or the other program or include a cd with the game.

Just some food for thought

Yes without a doubt the commercial aide-de-camp modules for such games as those published by GMT look really great! Worth having just like the published game books for the quality of their art work.

I think they could open a lot more avenues of revenue as you suggested Casey including such a module on a CD with a game.

I have quite given up ever being able to find someone in close physical proximity to play these games. Plus I constantly see people here wanting to play these games PBEM.

There is a great article err perhaps it is a book called "ClueTrain Manifesto" about smart markets. No longer are retail markets, especially for gaming, linear. http://www.cluetrain.com/ A must read for your marketing department and a good insight for others interested in where internet marketing is going.
