PBEMs as a Spectator Sport
Does everyone here read PBEMs they are not participating in directly? I used to do it regularly a couple months ago but stopped for some reason.

Ya sure, a few, certainly not all of them. Only the ones were I really like a scenario, or I know some of the guys.

Well . . .
I did follow all the games that used my scenarios.
At first.
Then there got to be so many of them . . .

I've been following the original Age of War and the Lebensraum- 1939 PBEM Test games. for a while i was reading the Raging Dragon one too, but it fell way down the list for a while and I stopped reading it.
Actually, the guys playing the AoW game let me do a little roleplaying when I replaced FMK's units with the correct ethinc units

I second that
I also have the occasional peak at the PBEM that have players in them that I am playing with in my PBEM's.
In general, it is fun to watch the PBEM's develop.
