Is "Play by Post" feasible for FFP games?
I came from a game called Heroclix, and in the most popular message board for Heroclix (HCRealms), people are able to play Heroclix games in message board threads.

What made it possible there were the following:

- A map tool that allowed players to place, move, and track the figures on the board
- An online dice tool that emailed dice roll results to both players
- The stats and powers of each figure per click

I already have an Excel spreadsheet of the LNOE/IFOS maps, and the websites for dice-rolling are always available, but I can't fathom how to do with the card-drawing part for LNOE and IFOS. I think that's the biggest challenge for a play-by-post game. It'd be great though if we can have a game played here with the regulars - imagine the discussions and the roleplaying that we'd have, all captured in one thread.
