Intro
-----
This is a list of mailing lists available primarily through the
Internet and the UUCP network. A mailing list is different from a
newsgroup because you do not receive anything unless you specifically
request it. To be added to a mailing list, please mail a note to the
contact for that list, listed below.

The list does not include any of the many hundreds of lists that are
available through various Bitnet ListServ sites.

Some of the lists mentioned may be available as limited-distribution
newsgroups.  Contact the administrator for exact details.

Please note the following caveats: publication of a list here does not
guarantee that you will be allowed to join as a member.  That is up to
the moderator and readers, and they have the right to restrict access
to their list as they see fit. Mailing lists use MUCH less system
overhead on a world-wide basis but do tend to increase loading on the
moderators' machines so the number of people that can be added to a list
may be limited by machine resources as well.

In your request to join a list, please include a signature or some
other copy of your mailing address. DO NOT RELY on your "From:" mail
header arriving unmangled or even vaguely representing what you think
your prefered address is.

Steven Bjork at the Network Information Systems Center maintains a
list of mailing lists that exist primarily on the Internet.  That list
overlaps this one in a few places, but the lists are largely distinct.
A copy of that list may be obtained by anonymous ftp from the site
ftp.nisc.sri.com (192.33.33.22) in the file "netinfo/interest-groups".
To add or delete an entry to that list, mail to
[e-mail].

If you have a list that you want added to this posting or are interested in
starting a list but don't know how, drop me a note at [e-mail]

il-info
    Contact: [e-mail]

    Purpose: Discussion of Interactive Literature and the activities

    the Interactive Literature Foundation is to study and promote all
    forms of Interactive Literature, defined as any kind of narrative
    in which a participatory process between the author or performer
    and the reading, viewing, or attending audience determines or
    influences the plot of the story.

    Much of the current discussion on the list concerns Live-Action
    Role Playing Games, which evolved out of improvisational theatre,
    conventional role-playing games, and complex "assassin"-type
    games.  A typical game might involve thirty to eighty players
    taking the part of characters in a situation, with network of
    interconnecting motivations that provide the driving force for the
    action in the game.  Live games have a small set of rules that
    simulate activities that would be impractical or unsafe to play
    out, and to simulate abilities of the character that the player
    may not possess.  The majority of play consists of interacting
    with the other players "in character" to accomplish your
    character's goals and discover new ones.  Games have been run with
    science fiction, fantasy, historical, and literary themes, as well
    as others that are difficult to classify.

    The mailing list is not limited to discussion of live games, and
    is open to discussion of anything that might be considered
    Interactive Literature.  This list is not moderated.

    Subscribe to il-info to find out about events in your area, and
    participate in or listen to discussion on writing good interactive
    listerature and the pros and cons of different styles.  Il-info
