Forum games

how do these forum games work? do both people need the game, or is it all done online. if so, where do I download requisite content?

Generally people use the latest version of Sgt. Wonko’s module, which is just an online map.
It’s set up for Alpha +2, and basically does everything for you.  A lot of good work got put into it, it’s very nice.
People do their moves, then upload the map to their threads, where the other players download it.  The process just repeats from there.
The module is pretty well explained right here:

Hope this helped!
