Remembering PBM, Paper Tigers, & Jean Brown
#1
It's interesting how the site is already starting to regain some degree of recurring site traffic. Within the last 24 hours, there have been myself and nine other registered members who have dropped by the site. Most did not bother to post anything, at all.

Now, I don't write this to beat you over the head with that fact, nor even to annoy you with it. Rather, I just want to take this opportunity to encourage each of you to increase your participation on the posting end of things, simply because, without participation, none of us would ever have anything new to read, when we log onto the site.

The thing to focus on is not multi-page extravaganzas of frenetic writing activity. Rather, the thing to focus on is bits and pieces, fragments of memories and shards of recollections from your days of PBMing grandeur.

I've been flip, flip, flipping through issue after back issue of Paper Mayhem magazine, trying to figure out what to post on. Most of the games advertised in Paper Mayhem, I simply have never tried my hand at. So, that sort of limits me on the extent to which I can talk about them.

In Paper Mayhem issue # 60 (May/June 1993 issue), there's an article authored by George Cameron titled, "Seventy Turns In "The Land Of Karrus." Though I never played the game, I can and do recall Jean Brown from when I read paper Mayhem, all those many years ago.

So, whatever became of Jean Brown and her PBM company, Paper Tigers? Was their game, The Land of Karrus, computer moderated or a hand-moderated affair? Paper Tigers was based out of San Dimas, California.
