Brian,

As I have never played in a PBEM, I would like to know in general
how often you submit turns or do you "gather together" at specific times
and just mail each other your turns.

Of course I may be too late because you sent this out a few days
ago.

Nah, it's still good. The way we did it on AOL was the GM would give the
players the story, and then the players would either write back with what
they were doing and the GM would either re-write it, or the players would
add to what they read. So basicly it's kinda like a group writing novel.

Of course this is also how the do it on Dumpshock. I like PBeMs because
they are pure roleplaying adventures, you can't just overpower everything
and everyone.
