I can only think that you could run them as one DM/one Player, or with a group that meets at the same time and emails or posts back and forth. I think the latter would allow players more time for reflection and consideration of their actions as well as a written record, but hangouts still seem more attractive and more social.<br /><br />What I'm thinking of is something that could be managed like the old PBM games such as Tribes of Crane but along the lines of Birthright where each player would control a domain instead of an individual character.Jason Zavodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109502376214104276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-34070626643712432772014-02-12T15:49:36.859-05:002014-02-12T15:49:36.859-05:00As a long time supporter of PbP as a way to play ...As a long time supporter of PbP as a way to play in a world of little to no free time - and for people who live in areas where there is no community for gaming - I can say excellent post. Th ePbP scene doesn't get enough press, typically overshadowed by the VTT movements out there and I feel that is a sad thing. <br /><br />However, I do agree that as a social outlet PbP is lacking horribly. some sites like roleplayinggames.net and myth-weavers offer general disscsuion boards, but nothing is the same as being around the people your playing with.Desahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04406519864537714066noreply@blogger.com
