Ligeia - D2 v2.08 PBEM with RPG elements

Bob Thomson · #1 March 15th, 2004, 08:17 PM

I'm another PBEM player who has shown up! I would much rather play by PBEM than Online. I am excited about D2 partly _because_ the PBEM feature looks so good!

So, if anybody is going to start a PBEM game I want to be included!

If it is starting in April (or late next week), I'm certainly interested to play PBEM.
Do you have any more information on what you're planning? (Map, #players,preferred nations etc.)

I am serious, but there is little interest for PBEM games among the D2 players. That's why I think I will wait, until more players show up.

There is a lot of interest of multiplayer games... It's probably the RPG element that intimidated or confused people

.

Anyway, it might be nicer to use a server if one is available. The game run smoother that way.

I'd be interested in joining a PBEM, RPG elements or not.

Count me in as Ulm whenever you start!! Dorian_Hawkmoon74 at yahoo dott com . A few questions...
1. Can we bump Indies to 6 ?
2. Is communication outside of the game authorized or are we going to stay "in character" and in game for the entire session?

That's about it...other than that...I am very excited to be a part of this fantastic rpg at a strategic level!!!!!!!

I'd be interested - every PBEM needs a sacrificial victim, right? Time to try SP against Indie Strength 5.

It looks like we have many interested in a PBEM game, but no leader.

If it comes down to it, I'll "start" it up.

Anyone know of any 3rd party Dom2 game management programs? I was thinking of writing some tools to manage games/servers. It would be a PBEM manger that would allow admins to start PBEM games, and it would also email players when it was their turn. If I do decide to make something like this, I wouldn't hold your breath, as I haven't yet delved into the workings of the game.
