[QUOTE="Old Fezziwig, post: 1608707, member: 59"] Hi, Chris. Here're some answers -- 1) I hope so (I might eventually, but between moving, a job search, and running a PbP for the RL group I'm leaving here in Chapel Hill, I'm not necessarily sure running it would be smart, but see answer 3 for that). 2) I'd say jump right in. You may wish to browse or scan some of the longer running PbPs in this forum and see what you can pick up from those GMs (how do they handle combat? how long do they wait before autopiloting a character? that sort of thing). 3) I'd say 2 hours a week is probably on the low side, but four or five could be right. It really depends on how verbose you are, how active the game is, how familiar you are with the rules, how different from the norm your world is, and that sort of thing. When I was running two games and playing in four or five, I figured on an hour a night, a little more if I was running more than one game (I'm a wee bit verbose). Just my thoughts, some others could give you a better idea, I'm sure. Best, Nick [/QUOTE]
