Did anyone ever play by mail - whereby you would send a letter detailing your instructions to the games master and then he'd mail you back the results, etc?

I was thinking about Play by email? If anyone is interested I suggest the following.

I will collect your email addy's (6 players only please) and send you all the 1st part of the story. Each day you must read what is going on and respond to that, following any instructions given. I will then add your responses to the next email i send out, and so on.

the setting will be a D&D type setting so it's magic, arms and armour. Think of a character, what items he has, what spells, magic items, etc. Warriors cannot cast spells, Wizards can only cast magic, theifs are silent and can pick locks, Clerics can heal the wounded and fight a little.

Limit your character to 2 magic items (wizards, that doesn't include your spells) and don't go over board - think of interesting things that would add to a good story.

I won't get technical with hit points, abilities etc, rather I'll make an educated guess on how you do.

1st 6 replies get in and it's one email a day. I'll try and add a few graphics as well.

It's something a little different that shouldn't take up too much time, perhaps something to muse over at work to brighten up the day a bit. Imagination is the key player here and that will be rewarded.

So is anyone interested?
