Introducing AGEgames - Valetemoria - 03-12-2012
More precisely, re-introducing AGEgames (strange that it does not appear on the Boneyard or Wiki lists), since I took ownership of the PBeM game system in autumn last year and have relaunched it. Testgames underway and regrowing the player community.
Still work in progress in so far as completing the migration to the new ownership, e.g. embedded GUI links to old site/mail - testing a revised version; and a niggle with Windows 7 that requires a workaround - but hey, Rome was not built in a day.
So, what is AGEgames?. Essentially, a game system with a downloadable GUI for each of the six scenarios:
Age of Conquest - Rome/Carthage era
Medieval - as it says on the tin
Shogunate - Japanese civil war era
Napoleonic - as it says on the tin
Dragonlords - fantasy
Galactic Warlords - Trek Wars themed
The website links:
http://www.agegames.co.uk
- intro site, still being added to
- recent expansion is the dedicated forum (picking up from the 6 existing Yahoo Groups and a neglected Yuku forum) see:
http://www.agegames.co.uk/bbforum
http://www.lords-of-conquest.com
- game scenario web pages access, giving details, screenshots, rules, GUI download and sign-up
The best idea is to have a look, it may get you hooked.

Thanks - I have submitted a game description and more details for each scenario via the cgi link that Greg sent. Look forward to seeing some new players as a result of the links.
So many of the PBM forums are stagnant, so it's good to see that this one is very much alive.
