new to pbem dip

[Sacduck]

Hello all, been playing Dip face to face since the 70s, but never PBEM. Would love to give it a try, is it just like PBM, only faster?

Given that I haven't played PBM and I suspect many of the rest of our motely crew haven't neither we're not really in a position to comment on that.

At present the best place to start would be www.redscape.com cya there.

That seems to be an unusable website Kitten. I tried 8 times to register, each time it said I had mistyped the code. I may have the first time, but each time after I was very careful, and reread it. There is obviously some problem.

1000s use it, be careful you haven't accidentally had CAPS-LOCK on.

At worse e-mail them and explain the problem. If in doubt, try, try, try again.

I just joined a game there! PBEM is very fun. Try it!

I have been able to register there, and after ten minutes of trying to figure out how to get in a game, am completely frustrated. I click on the games tab, and get nothing. I try the forums, and there is plenty of discussion, but no way to join a game. How exactly do I join a game there?

Go to new game openings. There they post games about to start

but I am on Redscape right now, and the tabs I see are Home, Handbook, Magazine, Games, Forum, Vault, and Staff. When I click on the Games tab, I get no clickable link or readable info. Nor do any of the other tabs provide even a minute clue as to how to play a game there. What am I missing?

go to the forums tab and then the place I told you
