@Turgon Hieß das vielleicht „Phoenix: Beyond the Stellar Empire“? In der englischen Wikipedia gibts zu KJC und Phoenix sogar einen Eintrag.

How much Yellowstone, Jeopardy!, and US Open Golf Championships did @STAT intern Simar Bajaj have to watch for this story?

Unclear, but it may not have been much, if pro- and anti-PBM ad budgets are this big 👇 ICYMI yesterday:

Stunning investigation from my colleague and health benefits extraordinaire Bob Herman:

If you're a company hiring a #consulting firm to get you the best #pharmacy benefits deals, you assume that they're working for you, right?

Guess again—“There’s so much money under the table,” a source told Bob.

Our game of En Garde! is still going well, playing fairly informally on Signal so it's effectively play by mail. Having repaid his debt and avoided disgrace by the skin of his teeth, my character Jean-Paul De Caunes left Paris to join a military campaign. After some unbearable tension the results came back: mentioned in despatches for his bravery, and returning home with saddlebags bursting with loot! Off to the club to gamble and carouse extravagantly!

The #StarTrek channel on #PlutoTV just had an ad for an anti-pharmacy-benefits-managers group called the #PBM Accountability Project. Pretty cool, here to boost. https://www.pbmaccountability.org/

Anybody running a #ttrpg as #PBM or #PBeM? Not the kinda PBeM games run commercially, but like a batch of players and a GM?

I’m so happy: I found someone who still had the rulebook and several newsletters from the old pbm-game Where Lies the Power, and was willing to lend them to me. They’re on their way to me now. Oh the nostalgia.

and in further news from the #pbm part of the hobby... I finally got a turn from the freeplay version of Dungeonworld. After how long was it? Over three weeks? Four? and that just for an email report.

I still haven't heard anything back from Monster Island, I wonder if my signup got lost somewhere.

This is definitely not a fast hobby.

This time cat "Otto" got his turn ...

So the first to respond to my request for a #pbm game setup was Reality Simulations Inc. with setup instructions for Hyborian War.

I had assumed I'd get the full manual, but I guess when you request a setup on the website they just send you the setup rules.

Still better than either Monster Island and DungeonWorld (not the #ttrpg of the same name), which both are done by British companies. I don't even know if it's their fault or the mess at Royal Mail right now.

still thinking about how to get into #pbm games at least for a bit. me sending up for a setup has resulted in exactly zero feedback in two weeks.
Now one of the companies involved is American, so that might be it. The other two are British though and I am in the EU.

Ugh. Considering the mess the postal services in UK are that also might be part of the problem.

Or maybe I am just too used to modern timeframes. It's supposed to be postal gaming, so by definition it's slow.

I was checking the German Wikipedia article for #pbm games (Postspiele) and found this curiosity:

"A form of postal gaming that was widespread before the common adoption of telex and internet was the bank giro transfer game, in which small amounts of money were transferred to the account of the opponent, with game orders in the payment description field, so they would show on the receiver's bank statements."

@kyonshi I did lots of #pbm in the 80s an 90s. But with the rise of the www, I switched to online games.

one of those #ttrpg adjacent genres I have never really gotten into or even understood is #pbm (and I mean literally play-by-mail). A game that is played through actual physical mail.

There are some current things like this, like Quill and De Profundis and similar letter-writing games.

But what I actually mean are those wargame/diplomacy-style games where every once in a while you get a report and you spend some time writing a response and send it back. Like chess by mail, just with balrogs.
