LFP Experiment : D&D 5E / Forgotten Realms (Neverwinter) Sandbox / Play-by-Post

I'm getting busier in my evenings lately and I've had to cancel two ongoing campaigns because I couldn't commit to always being there. In light of that, I'd like to start a Play by Post based in the Forgotten Realms. The "posts" will be in the chat log of Roll20. The frequency would be at least once a day per PC and once I get a tablet I could commit to more than that. I am thinking of basing the campaign out of Neverwinter and having a few initial adventure hooks. Definitely will be a good mix of exploration/combat/social so building a specialist won't hurt you. Let me know if you're interested by posting your character concept below. Please only reply if you can commit to posting at least once a day.

I have to ask just how Play by Post would work, Anything that involved combat would take ages, I'm interested and I could easily commit to posting at least once a day, if not more, but I"m curious as to how it would even work

There is no question that you're looking at a round a day being the likely speed for combat. Again, I've never attempted it myself but I think it'd be fun to try. I know a lot of play by post games on forums take much longer to resolve a round but that would be easy too slow for me.

I have no doubt that it would work, but the nature of PbP is less appealing to people in a community looking for live games. You might have better luck recruiting for this on an actual PbP community (like Myth-Weavers). I've played in quite a few of them (mostly Pathfinder games on Paizo.com), but I don't see any reason why the Roll20 client wouldn't work for it since the game is a persistent server. Throw your sales pitch out on a couple of sites. That's my two cents.
