Message no. 1 Howdy all. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a place to get
teh "rules" or an example of how to play a Play By Email or Play by Mail
Shadowrun campaign? I'd like to play Shadowrun this summer but most of my
players are gonna be like a thousand miles away from me so the Email or Mail
might work out. Thanks in advance.

If you're going to be the GM, and all the players have email access during
this time, it's relatively easy. Get a character from each of them, and
play it much like a face-to-face game. Let them describe what they want to
do, and respond to that. If you want to roll dice you can do so, but you
can also just wing it for actions requiring skill rolls etc.
