While I'd love to see more people connecting for online EBP and RBP, my conclusion is there is not a huge demand for such. There are probably several reasons,...

That's another idea. For anyone who has the patience, play-by-email is possible with both EBP and RBP: just take your turn, save the game, and email the game...

This is a nice map. Replayable and eventful. I can usually beat the AI, but not always. One of the things I really like about EBP is the load card randomizer....
I especially like the fact that no event causes a lost load -- the delays are bad enough. The cost of track makes me plan carefully. I also like the fact that...

I've really gotta say something here. These maps look nothing special. The California map sports loads of Weed and Porn. What's this? Humor? That's really low...
I agree, I will not pay for a game that references illegal drugs I wouldn't evenwant it if it was free. In fact I will not buy any items from insystem anymore...
If I understand BSrailfan, he doesn't want Steve to sell or give away the California map that Jeff Marr did. I guess that means he wants Steve to pay people to...

I will have to agree. Steve, I know you have done some high quality maps (or at least challenging) - i.e. either produced them yourself or one of your people...
I have to chime in with my concurrence of others' opinions. As long as the Cal-Neva map is available and "sponsored" by insystem, I will have nothing to do...

Steve, I'm no prude but in my estimation these kinds of stupid loads detract from the game. And you can convey my sentiments to the "designer." I don't care...
