The purpose of the group is to promote Northeast Wisconsin gaming by providing an easy way for Northeast Wisconsin area players to find one another and organize gatherings (from individual games to club-meetings to conventions).

Anyone may join by clicking here and sending a blank email. Once successfully subscribed (it usually takes just a few seconds for the service to respond), members may post messages by emailing them to newg_announce@yahoogroups.com. You can manage your account (setting features, unsubscribing, and so on) and access a searchable archive of all previous posts by visiting the yahoogroups http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newg_announce/">list web page.

NEWG_ANNOUNCE is a moderated forum; your inbox will not be clogged with rambling threads or criticisms of your favorite game. This means that some posts may take several hours (or even a day) to appear on the list, so try to announce games and gatherings well in advance. Unwelcome messages are quietly filtered out by human moderation without response or explanation, but well-meaning posts that just don't fit get a form letter rejection. If you have any further questions about Northeast Wisconsin Gamers, feel free to email me, the List Moderator, at jmb@new.rr.com - I will get back to you as soon as possible! Thanks go out to http://www.io.com/~sjohn"> S. John Ross for both the inspiration and some of the work in getting this mailing list set up.
