Heya's,
I've been pondering starting up another PBEM game, and yes, it is strictly going to be email, so no message boards, etc. However, the in game days tend to be slow if it's a PBEM, so it could take a week or two of real time to advance a day or two in game.
I believe I have at least one person who is interested but I was curious about who else might be. I'm thinking that I'd like at least two replies a week for each player, if it's possible, and I'd send out my DM's replies at least twice a week.
Hmmm. As for some info about the game, I'm not sure where I want to set the game and this time I was leaving it as a group decision nor do I have a theme or a plot created yet.
All I decided so far was that the chars would be mid level, so say around 10th level, instead of my usual start at 1st level. However, this could change depending on what type of replies I get and what everyone agrees to.
Uh, my FR is a lot different then canon FR but some of changes that have happened in the last decade or two might not even need to be discussed depending on what part of the time line to use. I guess what I'm saying here is the game doesn't have to be set in current FR time, it could be set in the future or even the past. There's 10,000+ years to play with. But again, depends on what everyone agrees to.
Hmm. Not sure what else to answer with right now.
I do allow 3rd party products if I own them or if someone is willing to supply me with the info they got the material from. Same goes with WOTC products, if I don't own them then I'd either say nay or send me the info. Oh yeah, obviously it is a mostly 3/3.5e game but I have a short list of 1e and 2e rules I still use but they are nothing major and so they don't change the current rule set that much.
Well, I'll wait to see what type of answers I get and I'll answer questions or comments so we can work on the characters, races, time period, place the campaign is going to start, etc.
I know this sounds a bit like I'm being lazy but I run campaigns that are usually more player driven so I want a lot of player input and I'll react to what the players come up with.
Edit: Oh, I'm going to max the players to around 4 to 6 because when there are more then that it tends to get long winded. But I'll run a campaign if there are fewer then 4.
Edit 2: My only other requirement is at least a paragraph each of character background (This could include family, lovers, mentors, enemies, etc) and description (Do I really need to explain some examples for this? :)).
Edit 3: Just remembered something. I'm also a DM who doesn't care if people want to play opposite gender characters. Especially for a email game and it's not a concern that I have issues with. Just bringing it up because there are some DM's that restrict genders to what their players are.
Edit 4: I really want to stress this point. Please create characters that YOU want to play. What I mean is that the campaign doesn't have to have a balance of classes. I'll create the campaign around the types of PC's I get. So don't force yourself to play a class to balance out the the group just because no other PC's are playing that class. I.E. if there is no divine healer, don't feel you need to create a divine healer to balance out the rest of the group. There will be ways to get healed if there is no healer. |

Scroll down to the bottom of my email. :) I left some notes at the bottom explaining.....
But basically, if your post seems like a group post, hit reply all, if it seems like a private post then just send it to me. However, meeting with the contact will probably be a group post.
Okay, thanks for clarifying. |

Works for me then, I was just wondering. :) |

It looks like we don't know each other, at least that's how it seems as the scene has played itself out. I honestly prefer it that way, it makes for a more natural introduction. |

Also, was there an agreement about if any of you know each other?
I'm going to go with no for insular Ishiilik.
So where's that Daviot guy? Hung over from a late night in Berdusk? Liax really picked a bad morning for a meeting. |

As I just started doing something like that myself; yes please. |

Posted - 24 Oct 2007 : 15:16:12
Yup, that was me. Figured I would ask here as well, just incase my emails weren't getting through to everyone, but it appears that they are getting through to the majority of people. There, I'm happy! |

Eh, I must admit that I am a little unsure who is who. If it was you who asked the same question by E-mail earlier I have gotten one mail from you two days ago, in addition to this question of course. |

I don't have any IM systems hooked up right now, sorry.
I could just use regular standard dice for that, right? I don't have four dice on me right now, but I could probably acquire some tomorrow. If time is an issue, I would be OK with you rolling stats for me. I won't be picky about it.
Sure, I could do that. :) Hey, PM a email addy and I'll start a character sheet for you, which you can fill in with info that I'm missing. |

Hmm, I hate saying this, but would someone (perhaps through PM) be willing to help me on generating the mechanical side of my character? I'm not sure how to roll up her stats, for example. Otherwise, I pretty much know exactly what my character is going to be. I just need to come up with her name (she is a human female wizard--that's it), and write up a brief history for her.
Thanks,
RF
If you have a IM program, like AIM, MSN messanger, or Yahoo, I'll be here all night till 2 or 3AM eastern. :)
