New to this site and PBM - Orinks - 06-20-2013
Hi all,
I've just found this site recently after looking for a PBM game I could play. Mad Central looks good, though I signed up for Twilight Earth and hadn't received any turn reports. Abnormals looks cool but not sure when it'll pick up in activity again.
What I'm really interested in is Fall of Rome, although I'm blind, use a screen reader and Java aplets for whatever reason are unusable to screen readers. I've emailed their support and haven't gotten any response as to whether anything could be done, like make a web order form like KJC Games Nexus, although I have some problems with that one as well.
So does anyone know a game like FoR with story-based combat or heck, the whole turn report story-based would be awesome, has a web order form primarily consisting of drop downs and stuff and emailed turn reports.
Duel2 sounds cool but there are so many web games where I could play tha game for free and I don't see how it's worth it. Plus, I saw the sample duel and the descriptions weren't very exciting. I'd be interested to see a Fall of Rome turn report.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone knew of a game based on story but is computer moderated, similar to FoR.
Thanks.

I'll try to get you a response from the Fall of Rome people.

I know nothing about writing code, whether Java or any other kind. I suspect that most of Fall of Rome's programming efforts are directed at Alamaze, these days, if I had to venture a guess.
I don't even know where to begin to look to aid you, Orinks. Even still, let's give it a try.

On a separate issue, I am curious. Is this site, here, usable or mostly usable to you? You found your way here and posted in an appropriate thread, so it's usable in some degree. Is there any particular aspect of it that isn't, if you don't mind me asking?

Hello,
This site seems totally accessible, I've been able to get to what I want relatively easily.
I just don't know which games to play I want to play the popular ones. Free if possible but I'll take a look at paid.
