Running Forum RPGs
« on: June 29, 2011, 09:45:29 pm »

I noticed that more serious RPGs (almost everything that is not RTD) tend to be played in IRC. Unfortunately, I have never played a serious pen-and-paper RPG due to a lack of people that would likely be willing to play with me, so I would not be able to answer the following question myself. What kinds of drawbacks are there to playing something like that on a forum? I would think that keeping things syncronized would be a difficulty. Are there other pitfalls? Is it feasible to play a more serious RPG by forum posts?

Remember, ladies and gentleman, always consult the mighty oracle before asking for advice.
