Ah ha ... here is a link for a VERY general overview:

TO answer your question ... no. There is no need to be in front of the comp at a certain time, as, for example, in IM chat based gaming.

And now the Fru must go again. Hopefully, I'll be back.

Basically PBeM has a rough time frame ... you send emails to a certain person (the DM of course) and he, receiving all the emails, assembles the info and then sends out an email to all the players telling them the results of their actions as a group. It goes slow, but is excellent if time constraints are a problem for the players.

BTW ... great pic of the squirrel jedis.

K Fru ... when you can.

AWESOME.

The real pro in this is RavenCrowking. He has been doing this for a while.

I told him we would generate the pc's - first level characters - and then send them to him to start things off. After he receives them he will decide what to do.

Game?

I am down with this. Should we worry much about party composition?

 

[Mycanid]

That is unclear to me ... I am personally for a balance since RC has said nothing!

Stat mode generation is basically 4d6 for each stat, then re-roll the lowest, and then switch any TWO only.

I think the we pc's should be in contact with each other SOMEhow so we can get a semblance of party balance. There ARE only 4 of us at the present, and party balance could be a helpful factor for our survival at low levels, at least IMO. :\

Gotcha. I don't know who the two others are. No objections to me naming my character The Warlord of Pwnage, anybody? J/k. Specific setting or homebrew?

 

[Mycanid]

Also not clear ... all that the other players asked was that it was NOT Eberron. We asked for Greyhawk (personal fave), Forgotten Realms or a Homebrew. RC is a very creative and talented fellow, so I would not be surprised if it was a homebrew, but he has not answered me on this yet. :\

Unfortunately that is all I can tell you right now. It is all still very much in its infancy. I wanted to have at least four players before we began, and since I have noticed that you like C&C and were looking for a game in general I thought I would approach you.

Besides - you like mushrooms!
