[QUOTE="SunGold, post: 7084813, member: 6801671"] You're underestimating the time and effort it takes to run a successful PbP campaign. The things it takes 30 seconds to say IRL, it takes much longer to narrate in text. Sure, if both groups somehow keep the same pace, do exactly the same things, interact in the same ways with the same NPCs, ask the same questions, etc. then you could copy/paste...but that's not going to happen often. And even if they did, keeping track of fights--which take far longer in PbP--is its own beast, and can't be copy/pasted. This is the DM's first time running a PbP here and he was already cool enough to make room for one more player than he said he'd take. Asking him to run a second game for you is...a lot. I don't think you mean any harm here (nor do I, so I hope this post doesn't come across as harsh), but since you've never done PbP, I just don't think you realize what you're asking for. FWIW, there are a *lot* more PbP games on the Paizo messageboards, including 5E games. [/QUOTE]
