Back when I was a kid I used to RP a bit on aol chat rooms nothing serious, dice rolls were usually fast and loose and we didn't use any set systems as they didn't exist for what I was doing (Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy).

I found this site that hosts PBP with dice rollers set up for different games systems.

Wondering if anyone here has experience with this?

    I did a few 3.5 campaigns on Giant in the Playground forums back in the day. It was fun, but they usually run out of steam pretty quickly. People get busy and it requires everyone to be pretty dedicated to it. If even one person is much slower than the rest of the group, everything grinds to a halt and people lose interest.

    It did give me a chance to do a level 20 gestalt all 3.5 books allowed one-shot though, which was fucking bonkers fun. Some of the most broken shit imaginable, and just steamrolling demi-gods.
