Size and Optimization Friendliness of Play By post Sites
Hey gang; I'm wondering what people think about both the size and optimization friendliness of various online play by post sites; recognizing that these statements will be generalizations and that each site will have some in favour of optimization and some against it; overarching trends.

BG is your best bet. Just be prepared to have very hostile arguements if you decide to not allow something for literally any reason. Also be prepared to be expected to rule strongly in favor of the players in any unclear rules situation. (Even in some clear rules situations that the players don't understand)
Also WoTC has play by post. If you are looking for a 3.5 game it will fill within a day. Thanks to how starved that forum is for 3.5 games.

HAHAHAHA. Indeed. Though, in my experience, the dicks who whine about that sort of thing occasionally cross post here.Krusk wrote:BG is your best bet. Just be prepared to have very hostile arguements if you decide to not allow something for literally any reason..

That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.
That's about my experience. Most games don't think about optimizing much one way or another (that probably puts them in the anti-optimizing camp, I guess), and most don't get off the ground anyways.Fuchs wrote:RPOL is really diverse. They offer a lot of different games and playstyles. Though it's always a dice roll whether or not a game takles off, and for how long.
I've tried Myth Weavers, DNDOnline Games, Giant in the Playground, WotC's message boards and Paizo's message boards for play-by-post games, but Paizo is the only place where I've managed to get games to last more than a couple of months (possibly because it takes less time and effort to run a party through an adventure path than to come up with a brilliant idea for a homebrew campaign).

bg is probably the most optimization-friendly but they're all spergs over there and you had better run psionics and tob OR FUCKING ELSE
