It's the year 2026, and I'm starting my first play-by-email match.

So much for email is dead.

#pbem

advertising again for interested players for an asynchronous play-by-email high fantasy Cypher System game I am starting up. I switched from IRC to a mailing list after thinking update procedures through.

• home setting, largely defined collaboratively during chargen and play
• moderate posting cadence, we are all busy
• laid back and welcoming to all forms of writing as long as it moves the action forward
• all experience levels welcome
• lurkers welcome

some game and setting notes to start at: https://orb.moe/emerald-flame/

One of my best friends is re-starting her 3e PBEM after a 13.5 year hiatus. Rereading old emails from the games beginning 16.5 years ago revealed this line describing my gnome bard maxing out his alchemy skill.*

“Wizards. Harumph. Wizards are people who dabble in things they don't understand. I, my dear, am an Alchemist. I know exactly why I'm on fire.”

*yes, alchemy. This is 3.0, so it’s a distinct skill.

I've been playing some #PBEM #ASLSK recently, and decided to go through my log file on video of my most recent loss! Check it out if you like After Action Reports

Did anyone else ever play those play-By-eMail games from around y2k? Like XCom Email? I think Laser Squad 2000 also had an moe mode.
