Alternative Platforms for PbP?

[Palanan]

Owing to ongoing forum issues, one of my groups is looking for a more reliable platform. Can anyone suggest a site? I'm not very familiar with PbP options outside of the Playground itself.

Discord, running google doc, IM, teams, Facebook. Just about anything you can think of really.

The Tangled Web and Myth-Weavers both exist, although I've never run games on them.

Discord is superior for OOC game chatter vs. the forum anyway, so I would probably move to asynchronous play there... although recruiting for new games would be a challenge aside from existing players I know and trust.

RPOL is amazing, and is more than just a thread you can post to. Has a dice ruler and a built in wiki for your game if you should choose.

Also,play by web, though... this has lot a ton of players since I first started a while ago..

Oddly enough RPOL was created by some play by web peeps after a disagreement over something if memory serves me correctly.


Not to knock gitp, but in terms of play by forums it is actually nowhere near as good as a site that is dedicated for online forum play.

After all, it is a forum that you can play on. Not a forum built to be played on.

There's also rpol.net. It's a site custom-built for PbP role-playing and has a lot of great features. I highly recommend it.

EDIT: ninja'd!

EDIT EDIT: the site is rpol.net

Most of the others I agree with but Facebook? I'd have thought the formatting and non-chronological arrangement of facebook replies would make it a pain.
