Hi,




someone knows which kind of magazine is this?




http://cgi.ebay.it/Gaming-Role-Playing-Magazine-Collection-Lot-Dragon-RPG-/170484577575?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b1ac3527




I never saw it before or heard about it.




if you scroll down the page, you will see many covers of this magazine called "Paper Mayhem".




Anyone here knows something about it?




thanks

I used to subscribe to it years ago.

It was one of the two premiere Play-By-Mail magazines supporting the hobby. Paper Mayhem was somewhere out of the UK, and other one was somewhere out of the Midwest (I think it used to be run by a gentlemen named David Webber... and for some reason the company Flying Buffalo Games comes to mind), but I forgot the name of the magazine here.

Anyone else used to play PBM games?

My memory is coming back... slowly...

I think that TSR came out with a Forgotten Realms setting PBM game years ago.

I'll have to dig around and see if I have anything that can stir up my memory better... There was talk about it for year, in trying to develop one for TSR.

Maybe Frank or some other old-timer from back in the day might remember something about it.
