I personally like Mystic.  But I have been using Synchronet since May of this
year and have configured a number of doors with it, like the SunRise door
games, card games by other authors, JNS games, etc.  Based on the quote above
Synchronet meets your desires in a BBS software package.  There is a learning
curve, if you are up to speed in java script your good to go, but this is not
necessary.  I know since I have no skill in that regard.  As far as setting
up the games I can provide sample on how I have done it and there is also the
wiki on synchronet that provides much help.

My mystic board is at pb.darktech.org:24 and Synchronet is at
pbsync.darktech.org:30.  For Synchronet for web go to pbsync.darktech.org:8075
