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.

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.
