The crossover is so close as to not matter and it widens your sphere of potential readers and contributors. Any game that is played incrementally, turn by turn, is turn-based gaming. That's the hobby's only real connection between disparate types of game from interactive fiction through postal chess to Quest and the like.Might be worth starting a new thread as this is a very salient point. Anyone that has been to the Birmingham games expo can't have helped by notice the rising tide of board games. This I think is the origin of PBM more so than roleplaying games. As such I think that we need to renew our links with boardgames more so than online games. Storming boardgame geek is therefore a good first stop. Let's try to get a dedicated section on the home page, let's try and get reviews and updates on that site and finally, let's try and get some of their traffic into our games.
This is an idea that I support thoroughly. I emailed you on this KJC, do get back to me.
