The Temple of Mars

(Web Based Methods of PBeM)

Many selfless individuals are on the web these days, devising Web-based methods of processing PBeM or Virtual Play versions of popular board games.   I'm dedicating this page to this "Fraternity of Mars" who devote so much of their free time into labors of love.  I WON'T be posting links to Java-based clients for the "Generic" games like Chess, Checkers, etc... any Internet portal can give you links to this sort of thing, and since it's heavily dependent on banner advertising, deal me out!
