[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6413320, member: 20323"] Hmm, I might be talked into it if you all haven't found someone to DM yet. I have experience playing in chat rooms, but I've never run a PbP before. I'm trying to get one off the ground (for the FATE system), but I too have been jonesing to try out 5E. My current ideas are for a "Skull & Bones" style game with privateers and voodoo inspired by [i]Pirates of the Carribbean, Black Sails, Master and Commander, The Sea Wolf, Treasure Island, [/i] and [i] The Secret of Monkey Island.[/i] I'd base it on the [u]Skull & Bones[/u] book from Green Ronin, as well as my own setting notes gathered over the last year. Obviously we'd have to house rule things like ship chases, ship-to-ship combat, and firearms, magic might need a bit of re-skinning, and stranger races would need some hooks, but I think it could be a lot of fun with each PC taking on a key role aboard the ship. The high seas adventure could be mixed up with island-hopping and port intrigue. How often do folks post in a PbP game usually? Is once every day or two a good frequency? Is combat (when it occurs) usually handled in "theater of the mind" style? Or do DMs usually upload maps? Is there an expected format when recruiting for a PbP game? [/QUOTE]
