PBEM game: Advice and/or recommendations?

[Rowlff]

Thanks for the offer, Gandalf! Like I said, I'll most likely be able to host something like this myself come the beginning of next year, but the more offers, the better!

As to the simplicity, I am thinking along the same lines. A single package that's easy to install with as little dependencies as possible would be best. Seeing that having a database makes keeping track of players, games and everything so much easier, I am currently aiming for PHP5 with the included SQLite (or maybe PHP4 with some libraries I wrote myself for simple flatfile DBs). So if you had that, I'd like to keep you in the loop regarding my progress...

And, yes, we're talking about a solution here that 'hosts and quits' - no permanently running "Dominions II"-servers (^_^)
