I am excited to delve into the world of play by post. I have played various role playing games for over 25 years with a heavy focus on d20 systems. Played a 6 year campaign of dnd 3.5 in the temple of elemental evil so I know 3.5 and subsequently pathfinder 1e, best. I have run games since my second session all those years ago but have only ever had experience with play by post in the 90’s with an old vampire the masquerade forum in the hay day of goth with my old babysitter, ya she rocked!
I have 2 babies under 2 so it is impossible to game these days and I need an outlet. This came up in a very organic way and I just have to try it. I would be very open to any dnd system or the old d20 Star Wars as those would require the least rule reading for me in my limited time. Though limited, it is everyday and in weird times with sleeping babies so I have a phone and time.
My personal goal is to play a very narrative driven game with a few very eclectic characters that break the mold a bit. Not to say I am against a bit of a dungeon crawl, I just won’t play my character the way they are typically played. I am very open to duet if someone wants to show me the ropes.
Honestly, this is so different than I remember. These games are typically, from what I have seen, more closely resembling tabletop play. What I remember and was looking for, was a bit more of an open world forum where you join in as a character and add to the the grand narrative of the ongoing story. Not that any of the change is bad, just not what I was expecting from my 25 years of ignorance to how things change.
Thanks for having such an awesome community just waiting here to be discovered on the o’l inter webs!
