call to action - PBM intro flyer

[ixnay]

I have a weekly game-night with some of my fellow neighborhood dads. Some of our number are quite rabid about collecting games like Catan, Twilight Imperium, Dominion, Puerto Rico, Race for the Galaxy, etc. They spend hundreds of dollars a year on this hobby. They post actively on BoardGameGeek. They watch instructional videos on youtube of how to play a new game, or to learn strategies. They install app versions of games they already own the boxes for, to hone their strategy in between game nights.

So I've been trying to interest them in some PBM stuff. Some of them are mildly curious. But I don't have a concise definition of all the goodness of PBM. So let's draft up a PBM flyer to hand out to our friends -- something that explains the concept, highlights the many benefits, and gives them a few ways to try it out or perhaps a landing page here on this forum. Anyone want to help?

For the benefits, particularly for these game-lovers who might cross over into our branch of the hobby, I have this:

- permanent record/archive of gameplay
- possibility for LARGE number of players in a given game
- social aspect
- encourages strategic thinking over twitch-play or throwaway gambits
- computer support can be a stat-lovers dream

We'd also need a few paragraphs describing PBM and PBM-likes. And perhaps some FREE games they can try, or some introductory offers by established commercial moderators...
