Yeah, right now my scheduals a bit full till after Monday. Wouldn't be able to do a real time one myself atm but a PbP one would be good or possibly doing a quick character genning would probly be most optimal of options for myself.

Oh well, if there's interest in a PbP I can definitely do one of those. :P Granted, I don't believe there is a dice roller on these forums, so we'd either have to go someplace else (MW, GitP, etc.), or we could just go by the honor system and post it here?

I think for our purposes we could use the honor system since we're playing to learn, rather than playing to win. It would likely be a quick RP, maybe just going down Route 1 with a trainer and a random encounter.

I'm cool with that, I really want to have a try at the system. So long as I get a good learning experiance from it I'll be happy ^^

Alrighty, new thread up! Figured I'd keep it clean. :)

When playing play by post, people post what their characters are going to do. Each person taking a turn, then the GM responds, etc. Usually, in many forums, there's a code for rolling dice. We're not going to have that, so we'll just be going by the honor system of rolling.

If you look at the link TLG posted earlier you'll see that the players describe what their characters do and say, just like you would in a realtime or IRL session.
In that forum they have a dice roll generator program for use in such games so they use that to generate their rolls when needed and then post the results for the GM to see.
In our case we won't have a roll generator so we're agreeing to use the honor system where you roll an actual dice (or use a third party roll generator) and then post those results for us to see, in which we trust that you haven't fudged or otherwise modified your roll in an unfair manner.

I'm not sure about posting order as every PbP Gm I've ever seen have their own way of wanting it down (either a set order for player to post all the time or just set in combat) so I guess that would be up to TLG to decide.

Edit: Dammit Goddess! You sneaked your way in before me!

Mwahahaha! I'm very sneakysneaky!

As for post order I generally tell my players to post as they are able (within reason, of course). Combat is generally better to go in order of initiative. If the group's schedule is totally wacky then sometimes I'll tell them to post whenever, but the actions of their post will only take place in the order of the initiative.
