I do! In fact, I have been involved in play by post games on the http://www.herocentral.net site for over a decade! It is geared primarily for Hero System, but free and open to any game system.

I too have had the Dragon Raid game for years and years without ever getting to actually play it.

Hello Friends-

I was wondering is anyone had experience in Play by Post, and if so could we get a game going?

If this sounds new to you, here are the basics. It is played via forum, usually a sub-board is made for a particular campaign. The Game Master sets the scene, and everyone has characters generated. Once the GM posts a scenario, the party members make their posts. This is where the "role play" can take a written, rather than verbal avenue. Encounters and extended combat are "truncated" for sake of keeping the length of game play to a minimum. It is a fun alternative to face to face play when you don't have a group to play with.

I still haven't played DR yet, so I wouldn't be looking at running a game. I am hoping an experienced GM will want to lead us off, and I can be in on that game. (Good news though, one of the list members is only two hours away from me, so I hope to have a live game happen some time soon!)
