Rehabilitating the Prisoners of Play By Mail

[Dragon]

Does anybody have a rule book or some samples of Galactic Prisoners?

I love the concept and that illustration that I see so often when coming to the site and it kills me not to know more about it.

There is a rule book posted on FB, and I just am scanning in an old turn sheet. The turn sheets were color coded for each prison. I think P1=White, P1a=Green, P2=Blue, and P3=Yellow.

PS: Almost done with newsletters from 1990 too.

Awesome.

This game totally has that imaginative quality that attracts me to PBM.

You put your finger on it nicely, Grimfinger. Any great story, no matter the medium, is about feel. It is not about number crunching, winning, losing, cracking the code or whatever. It is ultimately about experience. It is about the "feel". It is about the story. Our table top experiences, our PBM experiences, even the computer game experiences, then and now, that truly stay with us, rather than evaporating and never thought about again, are about the "feel".

It is a about a great story and the roots it plants in our heart.
