Roleplaying Related Lists, version 2.26, 29-06-1994
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to rec.games.frp, there are a number of mailing lists and
digests (or newsletters) on the net which may be of interest to
role-playing enthusiasts.
The difference between a mailing list and a digest is that a digest is
collected, edited, and distributed by an editor, while a mailing list
simply forwards all incoming mail to a list of subscribers. Mailing
lists tend toward high volume with many digressions; digests tend
toward low volume with high signal-to-noise ratios. The way of
subscribing is the same for both, so I won't differentiate between them
in the remainder of this message.
As usual, an explanation about listservers in general before I list
the lists. Read this before trying anything.
There are basically three ways in which you could subscribe to a
mailing list or digest: through a "listserv" address, through a
"majordomo" address, or through a "request" address. With each mailing
list, however, only ONE of these will work correctly.
To subscribe to a list, DON'T send mail to the xxx-l@yyy address
mentioned below. Instead, send mail to listserv@yyy or listserver@yyy.
You need to use the xxx-l address only later, once you are already
subscribed. If you have never used a listserver before, send a message
with subject line and message body saying just "HELP" (without the
quotes) to listserv@yyy.
If there is no listserv address (that is, if your mail bounces), try
the same procedure using "majordomo" instead of "listserv". Majordomo
is growing as a new unix mailist list manager. If "majordomo" doesn't
work either, you're trying to get on a manually managed mailing list.
A list that is managed by a listserv or majordomo can (usually) be
recognised by the name: xxx-l instead of just xxx. If there is no "-l"
suffix, the list is usually managed manually.
Manually managed mailing lists generally use xxx-request@yyy addresses.
These are almost always administrative (human) contacts, and as such,
can be used as a point of subscribing. Subscribing to one of these
lists is usually done by hand, and may thus take a while. It is common
courtesy to put "subscribe" in the subject line of your subscription
request.
For example, if you were interested in joining the spj-l list, you
would send mail to listserv@cornell.edu, with a message saying, for
example, "SUB spj-l Mr. Bill Clinton" (without the quotes). You would
then be subscribed to the SpellJammer discussion list. To join the
Amber roleplaying list, you'd send a nice, personal request to
amber-request@hagar.ph.utexas.edu, which would be answered by a human,
usually at the weekend. The Amber list is managed manually, so you
won't be subscribed immediately, as you would when using a listserv.
Very rarely, when a list is managed manually, the subscription address
is NOT xxx-request@yyy, but personal_user_code@yyy. In these cases, the
address to send your subscription requests to is mentioned below.
But now, the lists proper. If a list is known to have an xxx-request-
address, the name is marked with an asterisk (*). To join these lists,
send mail as explained above.
