Is it a FAQ? Is it a forum?

Hi guys,
I've never ever played a PBEM game, but I'm familiar with RPG concepts having played a little bit of D&D some 10 years ago.
I've now grown very interested in PBEM as I just don't have the time for weekend sessions of RPG, but I do miss the adventuring.
I'd like to find a place to start, that has a fairly accessible learning curve (at least to start, later complexity is always welcome) and a newb-welcoming community of players to lend a helping hand on the beginning if needed. As I don't have absolutely any PBEM experience, I'm sure I'll need some help.
As far as "theme" goes, I'm up for anything, from the traditional medieval fantasy to sci-fi, as long as the rules are free to download (except for D&D 3rd Ed. which i already have the rules).
Alright, that sums it up, suggestions welcome!
Regards,
J

Do you definitely want to
Do you definitely want to play a game with tabletop rules? If it's just the adventure and the story you're after, there's loads of play-by-post games on OngoingWorlds.com with many different genres
Here's a scifi game I can definitely recommend: http://www.ongoingworlds.com/games/270
Here's a fantasy game: http:/
Here's a fantasy game: http://www.ongoingworlds.com/games/625 Here's a game about vampires: http://www.ongoingworlds.com/games/1015 And here's a new scifi that's only recently started: http://www.ongoingworlds.com/games/1108 I hope you find what you're looking for anyway dude! The website all these games are on is one I run (although I'm not currently in any of the games) you'll hopefully find a welcoming group of people in each one (and if you don't, let me know and I'll give them a good speaking to!). I can definitely understand your desire to look for play-by-post games as they're much more casual than weekly roleplay sessions, which can be a lot of effort to go to. Arranging a time, meeting up etc, I find that a lot more stressful than it should be!
