Subject:	RE: [BLUE PLANET] - Play by Post Game

The only idea I really have right now is my US government thing. If you want
to steal that, go ahead. Whatever you do, I'm interested in playing. I'll
get a character in soon. Right now I'm back from northern Chile all crispy
and braindead. Is there any particular reason to do a play-by-post? I don't
have much experience with online games, but it seems like a mailing list is
a better choice. If you want to go with the play-by-post, I think Stormsurge
is slightly better, but I'm biased and if it works, it doesn't really matter
how it looks, yeah. I'm sure Chris would let you use one of the forums. In
fact, I think there is a play-by post forum already created.  Anyway, yeah,
count me in, after I get some sleep.

I'd check out the latest adventure hooks on StormSurge (Andy's U.S.
Government thingy).  I think it would be pretty fun to play, but
unfortunately I don't have any chance of getting to play it before Andy
comes back from Chile (due to the fact that we're playing D&D3E in my group
currently instead of BP).

  What's the point, actually? :) I respect your way of playing (I 
personnaly think rolling dice is part of the pleasure in RPGs -- though I'd 
never advocate for sheer rollplaying -- but my motto is "play and let 
play"), but since BP has (quite nice) rules, I naively expected them to be 
supported in all the books. :)

  Well, never mind, merry x-mas all! ~<8)
