I love Cardassians. I love them with every ounce and fiber of my soul.

I also love PBeM's that demand original characters and don't allow such obnoxiousness as the princess who can talk to animals, and was Joan of Arc in a past life and Kirk's illigitimate daughter in this one.

That said, imagine my dismay on discovering that The 7th Order doesn't seem to be up and running anymore, now that I'm ready to play.

Does anyone know of any other awesome-o, kickass PBeM's? Or Yahoo Groups game, or chat games, or any small, free, online games that don't allow Mary Sues? Suggestions in the world of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Harry Potter are especially welcome.

Eternal love for any help! [Smile]

Hm. I'm not sure that the word "game" here really applies. Wouldn't you agree that it's more like escapist chat?

What's a PBeM?

Dude, I love your name. [Smile]

It stands for "Play By e-Mail". Just a role-playing game played via e-mail.

Noemon is starting one that I will participate in. I've played with him in one for the last 6 months or so, and he's done a great job there, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how well he DMs.

Holy Crap has it been six months??? [Eek!]

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

I think so. A year in... April? So... Mmm... Yeah. Over six months, then.

I sent out the first mailing list test on April 18th. So seven months for my PBEM. And way more than a year for Slash's PBEM, which started summer 2003.

(Edited because I can't count due to extreme fatigue.)

Also, msquared is starting one. [Smile]

I predict Slash's game will be coming to an abrupt end in the very near future when we are all wiped out in the upcoming battle. All except for the two wizards who wisely decided to stay home.

They will be assassinated for being too nosy.
