I can't really think of a good way to play some systems by post. Post RPGs (at least the ones I've played) don't tend to have systems really (in my humble and dirt cheap experience). Just people posting as though it's a collective story, with the DM making posts that progress the story, being referee, with a bunch of general rules that the people follow (no influencing others characters without permission, no using OOC info, keep it IC while in this forum, must write this amount of sentences/paragraphs per post, no just killing of enemies, etc). Mechanics and dice rolling usually kept to a minimum.They can be quite fun, though long scenes tend to drag a bit more, and it can be hard to catch up since people post as little different scenes catch up.

I was thinking we could do a think where we agree to meet at some time and we all are kinda typing and writing posts at the same time. While inbetween if its someones turn they can write if they so choose. I'll prob be dm and I don't like those kinda rules, so I'll prob be more laissez-faire

i’ve been dming play by post campaigns for years and we use bots to handle dice rolls and character sheets etc. they’re pretty intricate and clever but not good for the security aspect of playing with raddle people

Ahh right bots! Never been on the technical side of things, so never have used them lol

Yeah, for the security minded raddlers it wouldn't do well.
