As I have been doing for the last couple of years, I ran another successful Diplomacy tournament at TempleCon February, 2015 in Providence, RI. The report on this year's TempleCon is in TAP #357 below. This year, I am moving the February tournament to TotalCon in Mansfield, MA, February 19-21, 2016. Come join us!!!
The Diplomacy A-Z has a long and storied history. Begun by Mark Berch, updated and revised in the early 90's by Mark Nelson, Harold Reynolds, and Jim Burgess, and now put on the Web in a gloriously colorful new version by Harold Reynolds, no postal Diplomacy person should be without this link. Check out the Diplomacy A-Z right now!!! Mark, Harold and I (with some assistance from Bruce Linsey) have recently updated a number of entries.
Below are a selection of the most recent issues of my postal/E-Mail/internet Diplomacy gaming szine THE ABYSSINIAN PRINCE, named after Rasselas, the great Johnsonian Abyssinian Prince. Diplomacy World is fully revived!!! See some old issues, as well as Doug Kent's new szine ETERNAL SUNSHINE which we are back to being a subszine of. If you want to contribute to the NEXT issue of DIPLOMACY WORLD, talk to me now at Jim Burgess!!!
The Hobby Awards ARE still in moribund status. The results for the 2004 Diplomacy Hobby Awards that are the last ones that were awarded are here!!! What do people think, should I revive them in 2014? The Ballot was in PDF Adobe format that year. There was some difficulty accessing the Mark Berch Rod Walker Award nominated article, click on the link to read it. The 2003 Hobby Awards Ballot and the detailed announcement of the 2002 awards with web links are available.
The 2004 Don Miller Award for Meritorious Service went to Christian Shelton for the DipBounced website.
The 2004 Rod Walker Award for Literature goes to Manus Hand for "Solution to the Curious Case of the False Start".
The 2004 John Koning Award for Player Performance went to Yann Clouet who won the 2004 World DipCon.
The 2004 Fred Hyatt Award for GM Performance goes to Cal White especially for his GM work on DipBOUNCED.
A 2004 Kathy Byrne Caruso Award for Lifetime Achievement went posthumously to Don Turnbull for founding the UK Postal Hobby.
A 2004 Kathy Byrne Caruso Award for Lifetime Achievement went to Buz Eddy for his work on the North American Diplomacy Federation.
See the full Hobby Awards ballots from 2001 with web links for winners and for the runners-up in an HTML version or an Adobe Acrobat version. Send comments to Jim Burgess!!!
The most recent version of the House Rules was published in #343: House Rules.
You can connect to David Partridge's subszine, Tinamou, as it also appears below with some of the issues in which it appeared in the postal version. And Michael Lowrey had a subszine, Houdini Blues, but only extreme back issues are accessible here. Beginning with Issue #4, Deny Everything, the subszine by Don Williams, is here in Adobe pdf format, now in html format as well but unfortunately defunct and Don himself of course sadly has passed away. Fortunately, though, Octopus' Garden is back, I need to add that here.
Jim Meinel's 1992 Encyclopedia of Postal Diplomacy Zines is now available on the Web in Adobe pdf format too. Comments may be made to Jim Meinel directly, although he does not intend to update it at the present time.
