Looking for folks interested in joining a PBM (Play By Mail) campaign. I have two players already (old high-school friends). All of us have been gaming for over twenty years ; expect a mature group if you would like to join.

The campaign will likely be based on Tales from Wilderland. I am expecting two to three updates per week, schedule permitting (we all have families and jobs after all ).

Two or three more would be ideal for a Fellowship ; if interested, please PM me via this forum.

Cheers!

Just sent you a PM

SL,

Responded but it appears the message is stuck in the 'outbox' for some reason (?). Hopefully it will go through.

In essence, we of course welcome you. I am attempting to recruit a few more players on this and other boards ; more to follow in a few days I hope, as our Fellowship grows.

For those interested, I have created the following forum to run our PbM (Play-by-Mail) adventure:

If you have trouble registering, please PM me.

No clear start-date yet, as I am still in the process of recruiting players. We currently have three ; I would like to get at least one more (+2 would be ideal). Stay tuned for updates.

I may be interested, but how is a PBM handled in terms of rig?

Apologies ; what do you mean by 'rig'?

In anticipation of questions/concerns/comments, I have been running PbM games since 1997 (posted overseas after my graduate studies). At the time, I did not use bulletin boards but email (in fact, until very recently). To keep things flowing, I take care of the narration and dice-rolls ; the focus is then very much on role-playing for participants rather than roll-playing (see what I did there? ).

That being said, I am certainly open to suggestions this time around, especially if players would like to be a little more involved in the 'mechanics' of the game (i.e. rolling feat and success dice). This is something we can discuss and agree upon as a group... My only concern is that with more players, keeping things moving is always a challenge ; which is why the more left to the loremaster, the better (in my opinion).

I hope I was able to proactively address some of your questions/concerns ; if not, fire away and I'll do my best to answer.

Went to the boards activated the account and I am now just awaiting approval. I also informed a couple of others who may be interested in joining. Additionally, I prefer for the LM to handle the dice mechanics. Here is a great TOR dice roller:

rig... my bad, I meant Role play, but you already addressed this part, thank you.

I am a bit hesitant because most of the part I like from rpgs is standing face to face in a table with the other players...

I will give it a thought, don't wait for my reply to fill up the group though.

I have never done one of these before, but I am interested. I am the GM/LM/DM for every RPG my group does, and I would like to play in a One Ring game. Might even help give me ideas for my own game.

I see you registered. Welcome!

For all, I should point out that I have disabled 'public view' of this forum after noticing a lot of 'lurkers' (within a few hours of creating it!). In other words, you have to be a member to view all the categories and sub-categories (to include character sheet thread, adventure and OOC posts).

It looks like we have four potential players at this time; I could certainly accept one or two more, if anyone is 'game'.
