From: [a--r--y] at [mcs.kent.edu] (Adam Dray) Newsgroups: rec.games.frp.archives Subject: ARCHIVES: Long List of RPG archives via Anon FTP Date: 25 Feb 93 18:00:22 GMT =========================================================================== Anonymous FTP Sites for Role-Playing Games updated 12/05/92 =========================================================================== This list was originally compiled on September 15, 1992 by Adam Dray <[a--r--y] at [mcs.kent.edu]> with some help from countless others who have sent me updates. Thanks to everyone for your updates, and keep 'em coming. I checked each site address for accuracy (by name and by number). I also checked the accuracy of the file directories. All information should be correct as of the date listed at the end of each site entry. Sites that would not respond (but supposedly contain RPG material) are annotated as such: **No Connection** or **Could Not Login Anonymous**. In general, sites are listed in order of size, though this is a subjective measure. Sites that did not respond are listed last. There is now (1/21/93) an abbreviated list of the working sites. Look for the file ftp_rpg.lst on most of the sites. If something on this list is inaccurate, or if you know of additional anonymous FTP sources for RPG material, please contact me.
