Yes, PBP is very slow but I have some of the same issues, although for me it's more about wife aggro and trying to balance family and games.
So, for me, PBP is a better option, although I'd rather do a roll20 game that can do more with less time.
I looked up rpol.com, it's a domain name that's for sale for the low, low price of $32,000!Fri Oct 20, 2017 10:54 pm

So, what site do you use for PbP?

There are fewer questions about whether or not an attack or a test was successful. The GM has the monsters defenses, health, armor, and necessary ratings posted for everyone to see. When a player rolls an attack, they know if they succeeded, and also if their attack caused enough damage to slay. If their attack finishes off the foe, they may describe the kill however they wish (if you have ever watched Critical Roll on Youtube, the DM will sometimes say "How do you want to do this?" meaning they got the killing blow, and could describe the blow however they wished, even if their description was a gross violation of the rules, it didn't matter, the baddie is now a deadie, have fun with it).
Rolls can be inserted into the bottom of the post inside of *spoiler* tags, and with other formatting options, you can craft a rather attractive post, RP is highly encouraged, as mechanics are necessarily slow and clunky just because of the interaction format.

I don't know if that's normally how PbP goes, but something like that makes sense to me.

So, while the dice mechanic is clunky, something could be set up I think, I'm going to buy the PDF books (are they still on sale? I"ll go check, with credit card in hand.) and maybe this winter I'll put something together. It won't be big, maybe I'll only limit it to 2 or 3 players, just to keep it light.
Play by post is SLOW! I would only post once a week at the most, as the GM, open roleplay is highly encouraged, as well as creativity and language exploration.
Also, haven't played ED in 20 years, and no longer have any of my old books (donated them to a friend ages ago when I moved to another country)
If you're interested, let me know, and I'll start mulling over a mini-campaign for just a couple of players, and see what happens.
I really wish ED was more popular, it's such a fun system with original classes, though the Step system got a bit clunky at high circles. Has that been streamlined in 4e? Guess I'll find out with the PDFs

Was hoping to just be a player this time.

All sessions are scheduled by player request. When would you like a Westmarches Session to happen?Thu Oct 12, 2017 11:14 am
You know, I was going to try to get in on the Westmarches game, but I'm having a really hard time finding one that works with my schedule, so yes, I would be interested in playing (but not running) in a PbP. I can post pretty regular.Statistics:Posted by etherial — Thu Oct 12, 2017 11:30 am
