Unfortunately today looks busy enough that a post from me is unlikely. I'll aim for tonight if the (mysteriously hinted at) events of the day don't have me too tired.<br/><br/><br/>Fighting Man, Cleric and Magic User, right? And yes, I played old Blue Book with the Elf, Dwarf and lawsuit-avoiding Halfling. As I recall there was never really any reason to play anything other than an Elf.<br/><br/><br/>Thufir, I agree that indie games tend to fit forum play better than a lot of traditional games and support your campaign. I especially like when actions are "chunked" up into larger stretches of narrative. On the other hand, something like Dogs in the Vineyard with it's mini-game of pushing pairs of dice would be a miserable fit. Are there any you've found that are particularly good meshes with the asynchronous style here?<br/><br/>As for cards, we've just gotten finished playing Guillotine (the card game) over on https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?board=530.0  Yes, it's labor intensive for the GM, but certainly doable. That's more of a one card per action game, though. I agree that I wouldn't want to play Deadlands with all of the individual poker hands and such, not without some better support from the system. Something like http://catchyourhare.com/diceroller/ this for playing cards would be cool.<br/><br/>
