I am running a 3.5 PBP right now. Some things I have learned include:

1. Keep good track of what is going on. Try and keep notes on what everyone is doing. I learned this the hard way as I kept forgetting what I had said earlier. Luckily, since it is a PBP, you can go back and look at what everyone has said and done before.

2. Set a time limit on how long you will wait for people to post. So, if everyone is in a combat you do not have to wait a week for someone to post their action. If they do not post then you could have them specify what their character would be doing in general in combat so that you can run their action for them.

3. Since this is a PBP, you have plenty of time to respond, so take your time and provide good descriptions of locations and NPCs.

It sometimes comes out as "Aizen" for me.

You should post a link to this hive in the old one. It's tradition.

For some wedding rings don't mean a thang.

Were either of them cute?
(scratches head) I guess so. The guy was normal-shaped and had clean clothes on...but beyond that, I really don't know how to gauge a man's level of hotness.

The girl who called dibs, however, was a looker. She was clearly drunk, though, and that is always a turnoff for me.

I've always thought it was pronounced "a-SON," like "I have a son."

Hmm... What's this then?

*Pokes the Hive with a sharp stick*

I don't remember seeing one of these in a long long time... And it's even alive... How quaint...

Since the PbP I want to run is published. It should help keep things straight. Also I'll have flavor text already written out to share. There is a players guide to Second Darkness if anyone wants to pick it up. I think it helps creat characters for that adventure in mind.

What is the average time to wait before moving on?

Dunno... I update my game about once a week regardless wether everyone has posted or not. Some like to update 2 to 3 times a weeks.

On that note... I might be interested in PF PBP... As long as the PFSRD stuff is all I need to know

My name is actually pronounced "Throat-Warbler Mangrove". Bonus points to anyone that gets the reference.
