I like play-by-email Scrabulous. What other asynchronous, play-by-email games should I try?

I'm totally obsessed with Scrabble at the Pixie Pit. I believe it has a US$10 annual fee, but sooo worth it in my book!

The granddaddy of all PBM/PBEM games (excluding Chess, that's the great-granddaddy): Diplomacy.

Of course, I haven't played in a decade or so. It looks like the center of PBEM operations has shifted from The Diplomatic Pouch to Diplomatic Corp.

There's a million of classic games at It's Your Turn. I played Pente there a bunch a few years ago.

Consider asynchronous play-by-web too. SpielByWeb. Yucata. Mabiweb.
