Wow! Those are awesome. As someone who missed that entire era, it is interesting to get a glimpse of how things operated back then.
So KSK only ever ran a few turns of Starmaster after those announcements?
Was this before photocopy machines? Did the GMs have to manually type those newsletters over and over?
From these newsletters and other pbm archives, I just can't get over the scale of these games. There just doesn't seem to be anything similar these days. They truly were the first MMOGs.. err, MMOfflineGames? I was hoping Mark's Galactic Empires would make a comeback, but that is looking more and more unlikely.
