armadillo Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I remember reading a lot about Shelley McTyre's Champions game that she did by email. I can't seem to find any reference to it in these forums or online, but there used to be a lot on the web IIRC. Anyone have links or comments about her game? I ask because I am running a play-by-email (see link below) and I was going to use some of her materials to help new players.

Lord Liaden Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 A lot of Shelley's old Champions material is still on her website, https://www.mactyre.net/archives/. Not all of the links on her site still work, but many do, including ones detailing her PBEM campaigns. ShelleyCM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyCM Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 You GUYS! Thanks, this made my day (and thanks @Sketchpadfor letting me know about the thread). If there is a thing you're looking for specifically, let me know and I can go through backups. (I'd intended to take down everything except for Red October but couldn't bring myself to do it.) -SCM Jhamin, Amorkca, Lawnmower Boy and 11 others 11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armadillo Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Thank you, Shelley. You're the whole reason I tried doing play-by-email. And I love it. Thanks! 3 hours ago, ShelleyCM said: You GUYS! Thanks, this made my day (and thanks @Sketchpadfor letting me know about the thread).

I think a lot of people here will too! PS: If this gives you the gumption to start a new PBEM, I'd love to be a part of that!

I am so glad you're having fun with it! I recently dug out some of my really old gaming stuff (like...play by snail-mail?! My dude, I am *SO OLD NOW*) to show my daughter and it's really neat to have the written record!

My husband was running a GURPS fantasy game when the pandemic started (just family, to get the kiddo gaming) and that worked right up until he got sick last summer (that was...not fun). Since then the closest we get is watching my daughter bluff her way through Among Us. 😇 You? Steve, Sketchpad and Chris Goodwin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Goodwin Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 I'm damn proud of my Zoomer son! I respect them a hell of a lot more than my own generation (X) or any of the ones that went before. They're going to save the world if the rest of us will get out of their way and let them. I'm not even joking. ShelleyCM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 How'd they get stuck with 'gen z' (gen X was not alphabetical) or 'zoomer,' anyway? (I mean, ZOOM was on in the 70s). It's not because they're using the Zoom App, is it? Because Discord is also a popular app for the same thing, and The Discordian Generation (Hail Eris!) would be way cooler. (And, y'know, anarchism has sure made a comeback.) According the American generation-cycle theory, they'd correspond the Silent Generation, supposedly an 'Artist' generation meant to quietly consolidate the gains of the Millennial Hero-Generation and Baby-Boomer Visionary-Generation, while also laying a foundation of thought for the next generation of Visionaries (the way Beatniks and Jack Kerouac did for the Hippies).

I just had to split it into two groups a few months back. Unfortunately I'm not running Champions much these days, but that's how things go.
