Anyone thinking of putting together a PbP or PBEM game?

1. What is a PBEM?

2. PBEM…. The fact I even think of it dates me 🙂

3. Lian Rowan Play by e-mail. Nicholas sounds like they’ve been at it for a while 😛

4. Never heard of it myself, was genuinely curious.

5. Yes, when schedule and inspiration permit.

6. Lex Permann Git off ma Lawn 😉

7. Nicholas Never Next thing we know these durn kids won’t believe that Miss America used to be blonde!

   (Back in what? 1946? And a very brief run. The current incarnation is much more interesting, I think. 😀 )

8. All I know is ice tastes best when hauled by wagon.

   So…. if we get a game going, a Legacy will be involved… 😀

9. Have you considered hosting the game on Tavern Keeper? There’s usually lots of people there interested in Masks. Depending on the pacing expected, I might be one of them.

10. Would be interested in trying out a Play by post, or a live session always. I jumped on Tavern Keep though trying to figure out how you apply for games on it…..as well as the recruitment forum doesnt seem to want to swap pages.

11. Lian, you can only apply for games that are marked as “Looking for Players”. They have a green star next to their name.

12. Thank you…..noticing quite a few Mask games, but very few looking for people. I filter option however would make things alot easier.

13. Yeah. Kai suffered my attempt to run that Ministry of Thunder thing, and is first in line for my next attempt at Masks…which will probably be bog standard.

14. I’ve been on both Tavern Keeper and RPGnet… I’ll start at Tavern keeper and post something there.

15. Mind throwing a link here for it as well? Ill look now but might help others

16. I can get one up quick-ish, but fair warning that I may be a bit slow. Most of my posting time is on the weekends (although I can usually read traffic on my lunch break, time to ponder and do the GM thing doesn’t happen much during the work week).

17. I mean it can be more RP between Players and events on weekends mostly. How do rolls work on Tavern? since playing masks theres been same times were ive not had to roll or wait on a response of “which move would this be?”. Always seemed to be a bit back and forth on minor things with big delays and few words responses to clarify things.

    Other part was character creation/session as a whole, since back and forth with questions has taken 3+ hours in some games ive played.

18. Sure: Interest Check for PbtA Games.

19. Threw a response down for masks

20. Henry de Veuve I’m fine with slow.

21. Okay! Game’s up! Reboot Protocol.

22. Cheers, thrown a app up. Mentioned maybe a real time text/voice chat perhaps for the session 0 stuff since that can be quite intensive in masks.?

23. A wonderful idea–but text will work better than voice, I think. And I did open a discussion for char-gen chatter.

    ETA the “than voice” part, which was there in my head but not on the screen. Oops!

24. Yeah, I ment something like instant messaging can run far more fluidly for the intensive parts sometimes. Some people dont check emails that fast/frequently which slows it down between

    each response substantially.

25. We’re going to be a bit slow in any case.
