From: "David Q. Spitzley" Newsgroups: rec.games.trading-cards.misc Subject: [ALL] On-Line CCG Resource Bulletin Date: 24 Aug 1998 20:57:14 GMT Lines: 442 Message-ID: <6rsk3a$948$1@hiram.io.com> On-Line CCG Resources Bulletin Last Updated: 8/24/98 By David Q. Spitzley optimist@io.com ~TABLE OF CONTENTS~ INTRODUCTION ON-LINE CCG RESOURCES UNDER DEVELOPMENT ~INTRODUCTION~ The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a easy to use list of key websites and mailing lists for collectible card games. A few caveats are in order before getting to the meat: 1) I cannot take responsibility for inaccuracies in the data here, particularly with regard to the mailing list subscription information. However, I will make any corrections required as quickly as possible after errors have been brought to my attention. 2) I don't know much about mailing lists, despite belonging to several. Should you run into problems with subscribing to one or more lists, please ask around on rec.games.trading-cards.misc for help. Should you discover an error in this list, please see entry 1 (i.e, I'd like to know so I can fix it, but don't hit me...) 3) With regard to the mailing list data, I have broken each entry up into Address, Subject, and Body sections. To subscribe, send an e-mail message to Address with a subject line of Subject, and with a message text of Body (adding anything else, such as a .sig, will generally screw up the subscription process). Any section with in it should be left blank when sending a subscription message to the list. 4) This is not intended to be an all-encompassing list for CCG websites. My hope is that sites which are the major centers of activity for a particular game will be included here. Similarly, should it become apparent that certain games have a multitude of mailing lists, I may need to become more selective. 5) Please feel free to let me know of material for other games; I would be happy to include them. On the other hand, I'm just a little too lazy to spend much time tracking this data down myself, so if some partisan doesn't forward me the data, their game will probably wind up ignored.
