You can specify all you want, it don't matter to me.

Wonderful.

I was wondering what you all thought of the possibility of an attempt at a PBeM game?

I'm still not sure how these things work. Does everyone receive all e-mails? So it's just like a PbP without the message board? Or is all communication through the DM, or what? Does anyone ever transcribe these things on the internet? Can I see an example? Can I play a gripli named "HA!"?

Email?

Oh yes ... well ... since Aeson and frogman are here ....

That would be frickin' sweet!

Okay ... basically one person is the DM. He sends out an email to all the players. All the players send back their reply to the DM. The DM digests everything (emailing the players if needed) and organizes it into a single "story" and then sends the digest of all the actions back to the pc's again.

It is slower than PbP ... but it is much less time demanding of the players if they (or the DM) have to be away from the comp for some time for some reason.

These PBeM things HAVE been transcribed into a flawless storyline and posted on the internet before. I have seen places that had years of campaigns posted.

But I was thinking of just trying a single adventure to give it a try.

As for grippli's ... that is up to the DM, of course.

When am I gonna learn that you are way wittier and quicker on your intellectual feet than I am when it comes to humor?

If it makes you feel any better, I had to google Tako. I just loves me some puns. You could always report me, I suppose.

Off Topic forum currently named 'blaB':
This is the off-topic forum; please observe the no puns, politics & religion rule

But seriously, that joke made me happy in my heart. It's atrocious, but I'm still giggling.

P.S. Don't be down on yourself (we have Aeson for that). It's not a question of quicker and wittier. It's just my mind is a steaming morass of bad jokes.

In fact, it is reccomended by dieticians.

Well, I don't DM, and if it's not you. . . then who?

 

[Mycanid]

Believe you me ... I am not down on myself. To realize one's limitations and other's talents by contrast is NOT to be down on oneself.
