Starting an email game with some of my friends from home kept my gaming instinicts intact (which was cool, because it was right after third edition came out - I was a big proponent of third edition to my gaming circle, and felt kind of bad that I had to leave right after it was released and couldn't enjoy a game with them at first).Since then my PbeM games have somewhat joined the two gaming circles I've been involved in - my first group here in PEI and my second group in Ontario now communicate a fair bit, both about the PbeM games and other common interest topics. Go friendship!I still run my email game even though I've moved home because my players and I have built a rather intricate and rich world over the last two years, and I'd like to see what comes of it. Unfortunately, its updating-frequency has lessened as I don't have the same access to the Internet as I had before... stupid dial-up...</blockquote>
