Arthur Shipkowski's Roleplaying FTP Site List
Special note: I am, essentially, letting this list drift. Most of the ftp sites in here are rather stale and mouldering. When I created this list, ftp sites were more important than the web, yet many of the lists were outdated. These days, it is not the list but the sites themselves that are outdated. With time, each check became more frustrating than the last, as sites would go down, never to return. I don't think I've seen one site where things have been touched since the year 2000. So my update rate has slowed greatly. If you want to take over this list, drop me an email via the contact form.

What I don't list:
- Any site that is not a ftp site. If you don't know what a ftp site is, yours probably isn't a ftp site. Honest.
- Sites that only contain fluff (game related fiction).
- Sites that only contain a pile of moves from someone's game, online or off.
