An AAR is a campaign or battle played entirely by you. You run everything, fight all the battles, and write the reports.
A PBM is a collective AAR. There are two styles of PBM:
- One player does it all for a certain amount of turns, writes it up, then passes the savegame along
- One player controls the game for a certain amount of time, but each player is their own avatar and they fight their designated battles. They also help direct policy.
"I'm going to die anyway, and therefore have nothing more to do except deliberately annoy Lemur." -Orb, in the chat
"Lemur. Even if he's innocent, he's a pain; so kill him." -Ignoramus
"I'm going to need to collect all of the rants about the guilty lemur, and put them in a pretty box with ponies and pink bows. Then I'm going to sprinkle sparkly magic dust on the box, and kiss it." -Lemur

Question of my own. Why does the AAR link in the RTW section connect to here? Shouldn't it have its own?
"Young knight learn to love God and revere women, so that your honour grows.
Practice knighthood and learn the Art that dignifies you, and brings you honour in wars.
Wrestle well and wield lance, spear, sword and dagger manfully; whose use in others’ hands is wasted."
-Master Johannes Liechtenauer
