This issue of the Matrix Gamer focuses on play by email Matrix Games. This is a fast growing part of the hobby and for my money offers the best hope for spreading the word about our games. I for one am not surprised that Matrix Games work so well on the net. From the very start Matrix Games were done as play by mail games.

At the end of this newsletter I describe what I would like to see develop in the Matrix Game hobby. It is an on line community where not one person needs to be in charge. In part I'm purposing this because I think it will work well. But I'm also suggesting it because as I've grown older I realize more and more of my inadequacies as a leader.
