Storium is a website based pbp system I played in for a few years. Heavy on improv and rules lite, but I quite liked it. I eventually stopped playing because of what I have found is always the problem with pbp games, they die a slow death of neglect and delay.
When I realized that *I* was one of the people who wasn't keeping my part up, I dropped out.
It was free at the basic level, but subscription for extra cool features.
Are there any role playing games explicitly designed for play-by-post? I know many games can be made to work that way. And I know there’s a variety of epistolary games where “play” is functionally independent but shared via letter.
I’m curious about actually interactive, collaborative RPGs with structural or mechanical support for play-by-post (where “post” may be email, forum, chat, etc). I’m extra curious about your personal experience with them, not just a link to an Itch or DriveThru page.
Does anyone ever run any TTRPG-style play-by-post games on Mastodon? I really miss DMing, so I'm thinking of running one.

Suddenly, time slows to a crawl as you hear a voice from Beyond ask,
Lurking at the edge of your awareness, an enigma. Still trembling, you peer leftward, beholding its full glory: a column of azure light, a figure of smokeless fire, a living, spectral weapon. It locks onto your gaze.
Through your fear, you manage to sputter a question.
