Does anyone know if there is a pnp rpg system made specifically for play by post? I think it would be kind of interesting to have one that's native to forums instead of adapting systems. And if not, any interest in such a system being made?
dude called Pony had a few system ideas roling around and while Im not sure if they were exclusively pbp orientated they were damn well suited to it, very narrative-led and good for making characters
edcrab had the exigency system which was based around one-roll, and i think the latest version is going to use different dice cos one advantage of a PBP is that all the complicated shit can be done by an online roller like Invisible castle.
And Im pretty sure Horseshoe had a PBP ideas brainstorm thread here once, i remember seeing it back when I lurked! I should look for it

Some of them better lend themselves to it than others, though. World of Darkness, for example, works wonderfully on a forum.
It's very, very literally play by post.
Yes, I'm that much of an elitist snob that I know about De Profundis. Never played it, but I know about it.
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.
Yeah I find the idea interesting. Especially considering the fate of so many pBp games.
