SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Way back in the day there was Emperor of the Fading Suns, a turn-based game you could play with friends (via email in this case). You take your turn, then the next player takes his, and so on until it's your turn again. Something like this would work well for my friends and I because of our varying schedules and timezones; key is that no one has to be online at the same time as anyone else.

We were involved in the recent playtest of EFS, but rather than continue to play that we'd much rather play something else.

Strategy would probably be best, 4x would be fine. I suppose we might consider other genres. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I've not the patience or brain power (to be frank) to play this myself, but have heard lots of good things about the game linked above.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.
