Hey Vortigern, how does PBP work? Does the GM do all the rolling and inform the players of the results? I'm just trying to imagine how this will work with Sorcerer - but I'm not even sure how it's done "normally." I checked out your link to online-roleplaying.com, but of course everyone there knows what they're doing so I can't find "PBP-101" spelled out anywhere.
I don't want to sideline the present very interesting conversation (which I have been following with interest)... just curious.
Thanks,

Well, essentially, it is almost exactly like playing table-top-style only you are writing out the 'actions' etc. of your characters in a story-like format. On online-roleplaying.com the boards/forum have an in-built dice-roller program that allows you to write a diceroll into your posts and when you post it, it will calculate the results and display them in the post.
Your GM can then moderate from there, as needed, etc. So you can play just about anything in 'traditional' players roll 'this' stuff, GM rolls 'that' stuff style.
If you are interested feel free to pitch a concept for the game? I could probably use someone a bit more 'long in the tooth' with sorcerer as it were. This will be my first game of it and some constructive input/criticism is always welcome.
Personally I rather enjoy play-by-post even though at times the slower pacing can be annoying/frustrating. I enjoy the writing aspects of it and my schedule is unpredictable and therefore the ability to just log on whenever I have time and write a post here and there rather than trying to make a regular game session makes it much more accessible for me.

Thanks Vortigern that's VERY tempting. Playing once every week-or-two as I am now just leaves me hungry for more. But I know that if I join a PBP game, I'll start writing posts when I'm supposed to be working. Could be very bad on the income. Hmmmm... I'm thinking about it... >;-)
