Rathar a ambitious project, with some PBEMs being incredibly obscure........but i think it would help if we had a list of known PBEMs, listing some basic info like DMs, the rules its based on, setting, etc.
List :
Ruins of Empire
http://www.ruinsofempire.twilightpeaks.net/
Ruins of Empire, HEAVILY modified 2nd ed. Of particular note is that each realm is now broken up into provinces ruled by counts/barons(side effect : pretty much every canon regent now has a lot less RP/GB to play with) and that the DM runs actions for dozens of NPC realms at once. Centered on south coast with a few realms in heartlands/eastern marches.
Campaign history summary : Mt Deismaar wasnt destroyed. Jaison Raenech fought everyone, including Ghoere, and won, becoming the King of Ghoere with tons of vassals. Led crusade to Gorgon's Crown and got killed. Markazor got wasted in the process(level 0 provinces allround), mur-kilad is camping inside their mountains and the swordhawk overran kiergaard.
Rebels and Tyrants
http://www.yabbers.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=brechtur
Small brechtur game, based on 2nd ed. Action centered around Rohmarch, Kiergard and Massenmarch. Game is in the process of starting.Rule province action is not allowed.There is a way to do so but no one is going to do it because its not worth it.
Note : It should be noted that the game uses birmail which is bugged and does not follow 2nd ed rules to the letter. DM fiat may also make you fail actions without explanation and you will NOT be compensated.
Campaign Summary : None.....yet.
51's PBEM
http://51angrybees.com/
Vosgaard campaign, rule province is nerfed to the point of uselessness. Turn 1 has been in processing for nearly a month now. Mixture of BRCS/2nd ed.Mostly 2nd ed.
Campaign Summary : None...yet.
Patriots and Tyrants
http://members.shaw.ca/s-hayes/
Patriots and Tyrants run by Karen/Derek. Based on BRCS to my knowledge I dont really know much about this....im not playing it. To my understanding the DMs play as real players(Not NPC realms!) which leads to some pretty serious trust issues. How are you going to invade someone that knows the perfect details of your battle plan, who is supporting you, and who can slant battle reports, etc his way?
