Gad Games
Our first PBM blurbstop this time around is the Gad Games blog, where Sean Cleworth, the Archlord of Gad Games, apparently has had nothing new to add to his blog since our last visit to their site. Gad games, of course, is in the process of bring Ilkor: Dark Rising to the gaming world.

Rimworlds
Heading over to the Rimworlds site, we find Jon hard at work on one of the more promising new entries with deep roots in PBM history. Rimworlds is to be an online, multi-player science-fiction role-playing game, one inspired by the GAMA-award-winning Play-by-Mail game of the same name. A brief visit to the Rimworlds Facebook page reveals no new artwork for the game posted there since January 3rd, 2011. However, there have been numerous updates on the Rimworlds forum from Rimworlds' Galactic Overseer, Jon, over at the PlayByMail.Net website. According to Jon, the Rim's map is huge - 1,500,000 sectors in a 3D grid 1000 x 100 x 15. In it there are approximately 30,000 stars with 35,000 planets orbiting them.

Empire Forge Conquests
At the Empire Forge Conquests forum, the game's admin has suggested that an option for all players to enter an End Turn command, and the turn results be run, even if the time period has not expired. The Beta test for Empire Forge Conquests appears to be progressing slowly, if forum posts there are any indication.

Rolling Thunder Games, Inc.
Cruising over to the Rolling Thunder forum, we find a few scattered postings of recent vintage.

Pegasus Productions
Heading to the site for Pegasus Productions, the company that runs the PBM classic game called Alamaze, I find that the site won't load. Alamaze's original designer, Rick McDowell, was recently sighted online at the Fall of Rome forum recounting a brief bit about Alamaze's history. Rick apparently intends to make a renewed effort to reacquire Alamaze from his brother, Phil, who runs Pegasus Productions.

Madhouse Interactive Entertainment
The DungeonWorld discussion group continues to be a hive of posting activity, with Mandrake Darkhallow (Reeve to the Darkhalow Estate), Dana of Lionel (Black Tower Necromancer), and Champion Dane Fore (of Runeforge Earth) being recent participants in the ongoing dialogue there.

Harlequin Games
The discussion group for Legends is still going strong, with sixty-four postings during the month of April 2011, with twelve more days left until the end of the month.

Flying Buffalo, Inc.
Dropping by the Flying Buffalo Gamer forum, site user Walter announced a little more than a week ago that turn results for turn # 2 of StarWeb game number SW-1378 are back. This is the very same Walter who is a frequent visitor to, and participant in, the PlayByMail.Net forum, and no review of his time and experience playing StarWeb has been forthcoming from Walter, as of yet.
