PBP D&D games and the problems with them.

[Nightcloak]

EN World, though I've tried it at another forum I frequent too.

I must admit, I'm not a GMF member (I don't know much about it) and when I clicked on the thread it was from the 'Recent Forum Topics' sidebar on the front page--therefore, I didn't know it was a GMF thread at the time.

Sorry for barging in?

So guess the synopsis of this conversation would that PBP games are good if all the players and GM can keep to a regular posting schedule thereby treating like a Face to Face game. Otherwise they are doomed to fail. And it frustrates us as GMs in particular. Since we normally prepare info for a Face to face game session that will last a PBP for months on end. Having easy access to mapping and dice rollers within the PBP forum is much more helpful towards establishing a easier to play game. Therefore giving you better odds of an extended PBP game.

I think the problem is thats its to easy to dissapear when you only know the players your playing with over the net. I think for it to work it would take a group of people who have known eachother over the net long enough to trust that they arn't going to just dissapear.
