Play by post?

I am involved in a website that runs play-by-post for any gaming system and has a pretty large membership. They support all D&D (1-4) editions, GURPS, WoD, Shadowrun, Star Wars, Palladium games, Alternity, and pretty much all other systems. They have a relatively simple dice-roller and many post-editing options to help keep things looking good, and there are character sheets for all supported systems that are built into the site; you simply fill in blanks and for most systems the site does the tricky math for you.

I don't want to run anyone away from this site though to the PbP site, as it is a worldwide thing and this site is better for our local needs. What's my point then? Well, basically, I was wondering if I could post a link to the site (not that it can't be found by anyone without help), and if anyone has ideas for a game that is more story-oriented and that fits into anyone's schedule, then it can be played there.

Admin, if this topic is inappropriate, I do apologize, and you can feel free to delete this. Otherwise, let me know and I'll post a link in the future.

Thanks, and good gaming everyone!

The intent of the site is to provide people in the NOLA area a place where they can post or look for open games.  I created the site as an alternative to all the commercial places that charge members to post and/or read messages.

As a side function this place can be used to discuss gaming issues.

So, yes, its within the scope of the place for you to post a link to an online gaming resource.  I don't even mind if people post links to other pay sites.  For example, if someone wants to post a link to a meetup.com group or a yahoo group for a game.  In fact, I'd rather people posted the links with details and even don't mind if they come back and post a followup once a month and talk about what's happening in that game.  There is a specific place for people to post game logs of their game and that's a great way to advertise your active game even if you have no space for people.  When you have an opening you can post a link to that log and say read this and then decide if you want to join.

So, go to the game openings area and start a thread about the site.  Describe the games there.  As openings come up in the future you can then respond to that thread with the latest status on each game.
