[oxfordgamers] Re: Other games via the web

I've actually been toying with the idea of a Desperado game in the same
format as our Car Wars game, but I can only run one game at a time ; )

Anyone who actually wants to take a look at our game can check the website
at: http://niko.www6.50megs.com/

The site is popup heavy but it's free web hosting so I'm not complaining.
We shoot to do two updates a week, but lately we haven't had much of a set
schedule as to which days the updates happen.  The nuts and bolts of the
game, die rolls etc... are taken care of by Email and not posted on the
site.  If anyone wants to see how the game works from the inside they can
Email me privately and I'll add them to my distribution list so they also
get our updates.

-Nico
