PBEM Rules Archives
The following documents are the final rules documents for the play by email games we have run in the past.
Eldritch
Eldritch is a computer moderated, play-by-email, strategy game of exploration and conquest for a variable number of players. Each player controls a FACTION, a group of champions and units, in a fantasy world where they can build an empire, explore the world, engage in trade, and/or study powerful magic. Each game of Eldritch runs either as an open-ended game, or until one or more factions meets the defined victory conditions.

Monsters
In Monsters!, up to 20 players attempt to take control of the game map, using monsters to enforce their territorial claims. Monsters! is a simple and quick game, but the variety of monsters and strategies make it a challenging game to win.
