IWAR MAGAZINE (updated 6/3)

"It's Gold Tuesday, and you know what that means... wearing out the refresh function until Gold posts!

"The cover of the 226th edition of the IWAR Magazine features the WTL's most dangerous stable, In Cahoots. Senor Lucha's band of hired guns includes his main squeeze, Big Tess Stickles, the unhinged Cowboy Jim Spur, and the wild duo of Ajai Singh and surprisingly successful rookie Vin Perez. Ever since Vin won the Million Dollar Bunkhouse Battle Royal, Lucha's jealousy has grown, but the feuds with Outlaw Ayson Aytes, Mr. Pennynickel, and Cactus Jacque have kept his attention elsewhere. Can In Cahoots weather this tension, or will the WTL's wild stable implode?

"The IWAR Spring Events are almost over, as the Marano Memorial Tag-team Tournament was won by the Von Snapp brothers (Alex & Axel, CWL), who edged out the Demolition Crew (Shane Gloom & Mike Zenith, CWL) and the tandem of Skapegoat & Kamikaze (CWL). The Johnny B Cup has come down to Cowboy Schlitz (WTL) vs. Punk Rock Mike (BRL) vs. Author of Agony LePage Turner (BRL). Long-time rivals Mike and Turner will add another chapter to their feud, but only one of these three can come out on top.

"The IWAR Summer Events -- the Summer Series, King of the Ring, and IWAR Super Show -- all start or happen this cycle, but the Lethal Lottery will start next cycle.

"Join us TONIGHT (6/3) for the LIVE edition of the IWAR Tubecast, hosted by Alex G, with Matt, Scott, Darren, and many more, as we review the results, IWAR news, and Johnny B's IWA Trivia (featuring Johnny B himself filling us in on behind-the-scenes IWA stuff, factoids, and other random fun), respond to unfiltered feedback from our players in the live chat window, and add in the usual nonsense and gibberish. Don't forget: every Thursday night before Gold Day, the IWAR Network offers the IWAR Gold Strategy Workshop with strategy expert Mike Cook that breaks down the drops to consider in Gold each cycle to score higher. Also check out our one-off show about multi-man strategies!" (The YouTube pages will open in new browser windows. The IWA is not responsible for their content.)

"The IWAR Creative Team -- Mike, Derek, Scott, Jeremy, Aaron, Alex, Patrick, Ryan, Tom, Dan, Derek (no, the other one), Rob, Darren, and I -- would like to thank our players for making the IWAR the best place to play in the IWA."
-- IWAR Commissioner Matt Riley

JOHNNY B: THE INTERVIEW

From IWA President Johnny B: "Author David K. Spencer has released Paper Dreams: A History of Play-by-Mail Gaming, a comprehensive book detailing the fascinating past (and present!) of postal games, and I was fortunate enough to be one of the subjects interviewed. The IWA is only mentioned a handful of times, because it's an unusual beast: the vast majority of games played through the mail are slower-paced and unrelated to sports. In more popular genres such as science fiction and fantasy, players often make a single decision each round, and stories can play out over multiple years. Still, if your interest in the concept of play-by-mail gaming extends beyond the confines of the IWA, David's work is an excellent resource that I heartily recommend. I particularly enjoyed the passages involving Johnny B. =)

"If you're in the mood for books about non-imaginary wrestling, your fellow manager Patrick Wallace has you covered! HERE is a link to his Amazon page."

THE UNOFFICIAL HOW TO WIN IN THE IWA GUIDE V2.0 (updated 5/1/25)

Learning the ropes in a game where those ropes are imaginary can be confusing. Back in 2018, an unofficial How to Win in the IWA video was published to help. Now, a mere seven years later, IWA Strategy Expert Mike Cook and IWAR Commissioner Matt Riley have streamlined the video to get players started down the path to higher scores. Good luck!
