using "Cyberboard" for PBEM

[Enoff]

Has anyone thought of using Cyberboard to run adventures?

It was developed to run classic board games on the computer such as "Triplanetary." But since you can totally design new games I didn't see why it couldn't be used to run adventures with.

For example: load in ship deck plans as maps then generate counters to represent crew members and you could setup a good onboard battle.

I used Cyberboard when I ran Fifth Frontier War by PBEM last year. However, I didn't use it as it's intended - instead, I used it to keep track of the game. (The game was played double-blind and with limited intelligence / limited communications, so I was the only one who knew what was going on game-wide realtime.)

Ghufran Syed adapted the Japanese gamebox for our game; you can find a copy at ffw.travellercentral.com.

I found Cyberboard very easy and convenient to use. Highly recommended.

Ahoj Jappel,

I was reading the thread where you explained your use of cyberboard and FFW; http://www.travellerrpg.com/cgi-bin/Trav/CotI/Discuss/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=54;t=000020 I am going over it carefully to be cognizant of what you were doing.

Salute!
