I tried once to do a online play by post useing a yahoo group but the players werent into typing out info and playing through that media. Anyone currently playing a play by post or would be interested in it?

I do play by post. I use RPOL at www.rpol.net . PbP always requires a good, discriminating GM. I consider myself fairly picky, but even so, I see about a 30% drop-out rate per year, and pretty regular periods of silence.

shadowland has a built-in die roller for several systems, a persistent world, the ability to create different posting names, and lots of other stuff.
