[QUOTE="Valmur_Dwur, post: 375494, member: 5065"] @garyh Well my version of PBeM is one in which I as the DM post a message to those playing as to what they see. Then each person is given the chance to respond as much as they wish between DM postings. Mine are Tuesday nights/Saturday nights. When I do a new post I have condensed down all the players post into a story framework and then add in all the new information presented by the pcs actions. The up-side is that people without time to go to a chatroom or whatever can play, just needing to post at least once between DM postings. The down-side is that it is not a quick or fluid as having a block of time devoted solely to gaming:D as to the idea of Psionics at 0 level I could probably work that out as having just a few points to spend at 0 level perhaps half as many? But then I use Greyhawk where psionics don't exist until you fail your save vs a psionic attack. Then you either die(maybe) or have the ability to dual into psionics at that point. I'm not a psionics-hater but I like for it to make sense to me. So I don't allow psionics at the start. Sorry, if you would like to know more anyway you can email me or post here and I'll answer. Thanks for asking! I appreciate it! Jim [/QUOTE]
