Very nice introductory post!
Allow me to formally welcome you aboard the site, and in from the cold of being a lurker (although site visitors are certainly free to just lurk and read, if they prefer that route to enjoying the hobby).
Everyone's perspective differs, on what qualifies as "low cost." But, if it's something free that you want to sate your PBM-esque appetite with, then you still have numerous options.
Olympia is free, as is Clash of Legends. You can run a free position in Phoenix: BSE (starships are free to run there). I believe that Lords of Conquest is free. I looked up DungeonWorld, just now, and it is free, for a single character. Riftlords offers some free turns, I think, but I don't believe that it is free. Interstellar Cluster Wars is free. I think that Midnight/Mu is free. Briny en Garde! is free, if memory serves me correctly. I'm not sure about Lands of Nevron, but I sent Ian an e-mail, just now, to ask him.
StarCluster is free, I'm pretty sure. Diplomacy is free (I think, although you may need the game). Atlantis is free, as is Eressa. To Boldly Go is free. You can also go to http://www.pbem-spiele.de, which if you use the following link (courtesy of Google Translate), you can probably sign up for more than one game. I think that they may be free, as well.

I hope that you enjoyed the first three issues of Suspense & Decision. Issue # 4 is due out one day later this week.
