In Middle-earth Play-By-Mail every person has to fill in a form each two or three weeks and mail it to the Game Master.[1] Then these forms are processed in the head computer. The results are then sent back to the players.[1] Each game has 25 nations, ten who fight for good, ten who are evil and five who are neutral.[1] There are three scenarios: one in T.A. 1650, one in T.A. 2950 and one in the Fourth Age.[2] Middle-earth Play-By-Mail was licensed by the Tolkien Enterprises.[3]
