As an experienced DM I have no qualms about that part of the problem. However, I have never tried something like this before - and would like to hear from people who have run these sort of things before. What sort of problems are involved? What is a reasonable turnaround for responses? How are player-player interactions resolved when they are life-threatening (such as an assassin going after another character)??? What other questions should I be asking? Do you have any helpful hints toward setting this up? What are the hallmarks of a good game - what sort of scenario/character mix is involved??? What are the experiences of players who have done this sort of thing before? What have your good experiences been? Why were they good? What about your bad experiences? Why were they bad? What could have been done to improve those experiences? I think that posting your responses to the net would generate more discussion than just mailing responses to me (although I will take information either way). This is not a call for players, although if I get enough information, it may lead to one.
