If you're unfamiliar with the Play-By-Post gaming format, you're not alone.

Play-By-Post RPing is where, instead of sitting around a table with character sheets and dice for a few hours, you take a more...  literary approach.  You write short posts back and forth with the other people in the game.  The GM describes the situation, just like he would in person around a table, and everyone writes out their responses.  It takes longer, but there's much more opportunity for in-depth role playing.  Typically people post between once a day and once a week.  Some groups like to try to all get online at the same time and post in sprees, with multiple posts flying back and forth over a short span of time. It's really up to the group how often the participants are expected to post.

If you'd like to see an example, there's one at the bottom of this post.  If you're interested enough to register, you can take a look at our ongoing games to see how other members play, too! You're always welcome to follow any open game and learn from other players!

It’s a *great* way to do gaming with long-distance friends, friends who have conflicting or inconsistent schedules, or generally if you don’t have several hours to spare in a day due to real life obligations like kids, jobs, school, etc.

We have several resources here to learn the ropes of PBP RPing, or to polish your RP skills with RP Prompts!

We look forward to gaming with you!
