I believe the DM I played with was Emericol though I am unsure. There are some message boards that are made specifically for PbP however the ones here on EnWorld will more than suffice and perhaps make other people curious about that 13 Kingdoms board they might see now and then on EnWorld.It essentially goes like this. PC's write up their character sheets and send them to the DM. DM looks them over for mistakes and such as is usual. Perhaps they also send over character Background information for the DM to use and in the case of T13K maybe whatever house rules the DM they may have played under before were using.On the message boards the DM writes out the opening scenario and it goes from there literally post by post. Sometimes a turn cycle is written up othertimes it's simply who get's to the message boards first. One could makes things more organized limiting actions to one PC post per day but that would slow down a system that is slow enough as is.EnWorlds doesn't have a dice rolling program but nonetheless has a thriving PbP community, essentially what occurs is the PC's would describe actions to the DM and then the DM would Roll the dice physically or on his own program. This would call for a reasonable amount of trust of course however any true abuse would likely be easily noticed and called. That is the basic gist of it, it's essentially a system good for those whose schedule means they can't set aside 3-6 hours in a week to run a session on OpenRPG or for those whose schedules conflict with others. Considering how my last OpenRPG session went and the fact it pretty much had to be canceled, not to mention a relatively busy semester comming up for me this method of gaming is far more ideal and convenient.Hope that long winded explanation answered any questions, feel free to ask more.R</blockquote>
