Word of advice, it's a big commitment jumping into any RPG, but I find with forum based it's even more so than with the tradtional tabletop aproach. Atleast you can have physical contact with the people you play at the table with to juggle schedules. So I'd go for chat based over forum, but quite often with online it's pretty much be there or be booted.

I've been involved in a few games, and since you can't physicaly gauge the players reactions to your story, and most people since the games are limited won't go through the trouble of complaining in the out-of-character thread, you can get stuck in some pretty bland, ridiculousy difficult, slow games with overly self -indulgent DM's.

 You can't beat the real thing I'm afraid. Can't wait to get some games in over christmas, missing at university.

Just want to thank you for really pushing the Dredd/2000AD stuff out there. It's criminally underated, and truthfully, we have problems getting people in the UK to put down their super hero comics and give it a go. I know there is being a big push by Rebellion to release trades in the US, and your efforts coupled with the movie shoudl really get the comic noticed, so thanks again.

I'm not sure about their availabilty in the US but the back issues over here are dirt cheap, the first 2 issues alone go for about a hundred or so quid each, but you could get the other 1988 for about the same price. I recently  bought about 1000 for £50 and the qaulity of the art in paticular is just phenomenal. 

 Other Dredd characters to look out for, who I'd love to see you guys to do some reviews on are Zombo which is getting a simulataneous US UK release on haloween. He's basically a house trained super zombie, with a strange sense of manners.

Strontium Dog; a mutant bounty, his world is very spaghetti western influenced.

Slaine: A celtic barbarian, the early stuff is beutifully illustrated, and Mills tells it in a very unique manner.

Cheers,

Lee
