I found an interesting article on role-playing games via mail. They’ve been around for a long time. The format for Play by Mail (PBM) typically are war game with role-playing being a big part of it. Now it’s kind of evolved into email format. It has changed the way the games are played. Players can exchange messages within minutes. Enough information can be exchanged in a short period of time to make playing by email (PBeM)
role-playing possible. This article will give you information on what’s so special about PBeM and guidance on how to start one.
