Play By Post Gaming Core
Developer Last Online: Sep 2014 
What does this do?
On its own this mod does NOTHING. It provides the Admin CP interface and common code for Play by post games. What can I use it for? There are two reasons why you might want to isntall this mod. The first and most common is that you wish to install one or more Play by post games for your forums. The second is that you want to develop your own play by post game. What exactly IS play by post gaming/games? The idea of a play by post game is that it is a game played by one or more of your forum members within a thread of your forum. A player makes a move by making a post containing the details of the move that they wish to make. As an example, take the chess plugin; this allows two members to play a game of chess beween them, each player in turn posts the piece they wish to move and where they want it to move to. The thread output gets turned into a chess board so that other members can see the game. Features
Installation 1. Upload contents of upload folder. 2. Import product. 3. Find, download and install at least one PBPG compatible game. 4. Configure game and assign it to at least 1 forum. 5. I recomend turning off bbcode, smilies, images and post count in the forums you assign games to. Uninstallation 1. Edit any forum with a configuration assigned; remove all the configurations. 2. Use the clear threads option (beta 2+) against each configuration to remove the config from threads. (the threads will revert to being normal forum threads) 3. Delete all configurations. 4. Uninstall all pbpg plugins. 5. Uninstall this product. Changelog

List of (and links to) Free PBP games
-None- Games in planning/development stages
Poker is also in my to do list, but its somewhat more tricky to implement (the number of different types + rules played makes it complex to start with, not to mention the fact that it can have many players in a game) so is currently last.

Looks very interesting. I will try it out once compatible games are available for it.
You might consider converting coroner's games to PBP games.

I just released a chess mod; not sure what else i'll release, but i'm hoping other developers will release some games as well, at least once i've got some docs for the code written up
I also want to write a leagues and torunaments addon for this. (At the moment its a case of soooo much coding soooo little time  )

yeah I know how you feel ^^ Thanks for the Chess release.

Pretty much any game which is turn based will work on this platform; chess is one example, poker is another. If someone had the time and desire, they could even code up something huge and massive along the lines of the space empires series. My personal list of games i'd like to create when i've got time is:
Chess (done but needs more features adding) Checkers (pretty much the same code so seems silly not to add) Poker (may take quite a while as poker is a fairly complex game) Something based off my sites RP system, however this may remain private, depending on if I can release the RP system or not... (its based off the rpg integration hack released here for vb2, heavilly modified by sucessive generations of coders on my site)

Released updated version. Not a critical update it just cleans up various areas (phrases, deleting, redirect messages, install/uninstall code)

Another update. This one is required by [pbpg] chess beta 2 and upwards and by [pbpg] tournaments and ladders alpha 1 and upwards.
This also is tagged with an alpha tag, however meets my criteria for a beta release, it is tagged as such as the version number was assigned before It met these criteria. As already hinted at above, I will soon be releasing a tournaments and ladders plugin for pbpg gaming. This is currently a stand alone mod ideal for running any kind of tournament not just tournaments for pbpg games. I expect this to be avaliable tommorow at the latest after some further testing/code refinements.

screenshots and demo are tricky for this as its essentially a framework which other mods use; without one or more installed, you get an admincp menu item.
For the add-ons however, the next thing on my to-do list is providing screenshots. (I relised a couple of hours ago that none of my vb4 mods have any :s) You can see a demo of the various mods (Ive currently got all of them installed) on my dev board http://vb4.giveupalready.com

Added some screenshots - the configuration page is from the chess plugin, as currently its the only one that supplies custom admin options.
