If you play other PBM games, visit the main Play by Mail (PBM) Games Web site as well.

I have developed these pages as an aid to the Players of the Play-By-Mail game Monster Island. For a long time, many of us monsters on the net have been corresponding regarding the game and a large amount of useful information has been compiled, primarily thanks to Jonesy, Cheryl Frech and Scott Micheel as newsletter editors as well as all the many list maintainers and article contributors.

Disclaimer: All of this material was mailed to me without limits on reposting. Therefore, unless an author objects to his material being here(in which case I will try to remove it) this material is freely available for your use. NO guarantees are made to the accuracy of any of this material and in fact, especially in the older stuff, there are known errors and I have Not corrected them. The only editing I have done to any of this material is to remove Blurbs(at ABM's wishes) and old Lists that are large and totally out of date.
