Importantly a PbP also creates a log of a game set in the world for others to read even if they don't play themselves.PbP can be rules independent (even completely freeform) or you can be innovative within your setting (one PbEmail I played was a Strategic Level game where we played Nations in are published RPG game and were essentially creating the History of the Known World)Of course the biggest disadvantage is that you will be required to dedicate a lot of time and energy to running the PbP which depending on your circumstance may be burdensomeA Storyhour - or even complete novel are options too</blockquote>
