Alright, so I know this has been brought up before. However, I can't seem to find it anywhere in the boards. Is there a place for play-by-post for Edge of the Empire and Age of Rebellion? I am a GM that would love to play, but due to time and other restrictions it seems that PbP would serve my interests best.

With the narrative style and flow of the games I would feel that PbP would work quite effectively for them. I already do PbP for Pathfinder and once did it a while back for d20 Star Wars, but don't have any of those resources anymore to play that setting again. If anybody could point me in the right direction or help me out it would be greatly appreciated. I might even GM a PbP myself.

The RPOL pbp site has an EotE dice roller built into their on site roller. (It is currently calculating some of the results wrong, but the roller in Beta has been fixed and should be implemented any time now.)

I'm running and playing in successful games there right now.

My only experience with play by post is through RPOL, though I understand many play through a variety of other sites. I think RPG.net has a pbp section, and many seem to just start a thread on a publisher's or other forum.

As with any pbp game, you'd want to speed things up by including difficulties and die pool details up front. This helps cut out a lot of wasted time going back and forth with actions. Aside from that, pbp could be a good forum for describing actions and scenes, rather than just handwaving them. How do you pass a boost onto another player? What happened when you spent all of those advantages on a scene effect?

Awesome, thank you both for the direction.

I would say those things are dealt with narratively and then followed with an OOC post or text clarifying the dice distribution. I don't quite get the second question though, you don't get to "bank" advantages so they have to be used accordingly.

What I mean is that pbp allows you to bounce between perspectives and narrative styles. You can spend multiple rolled advantages on a scene effect, but in a live game, few players seem to do this in light of boosting and criticals. No, you can't bank advantage, but you can spend them.

Edit for phone keyboard fail.

Currently playing this style and love it. It give me the opertunity to play, and not have to dedicate half a day to it.
