Who plays Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition in here?

[tilt]

..., and I'm playing in IG's PbP on EN World. That one is actually moving more quickly than I had anticipated. When we're on the ball, it's not much slower than the Rifts game I used to run on an old BBS. It will probably slow down as the encounters get more complex, of course, but I'm still pleasantly surprised at the pace. ...

okay - I'm totally lost here... PbP, EN, BBS ... I have a guess on BBS being a bulletin board thing?
...In the immortal words of Sergeant Roger Murtaugh I'm getting to old for this s*** *lol*

En world is one of the bigger forum sites out there for 4E.

PbP is play by post.

Hope that helps

Yes, BBS = Bulletin Board Service. The precursor to forum communities like these, in the days before dial-up Internet service. The biggest local BBS in my hometown (Wichita, KS) had a user base of about 300 or so, and I ran a four-year-long play-by-email (PBeM) game with 6-12 players at any given time. I think about 30 people played in it at one time or another.

I hasten to point out that as many times as Murtagh claimed he was too old for this s***, he stayed in the action.

Oh, and IG = IndustryGothica, who is running a 4e game set in The Witchlight Strand

okay.. 1 point for me - just didn't think BBS's still existed

you're absolutely right - and the time when I stop mapping/drawing is when my stiffened cyberfingers draw their final shape (probably several minutes after rest of the body have given in)
