Does anyone out there have any information on running fairly small scale
PBeM games? I would be grateful for any info at all. (including info in
ftp sites, etc)

I would especially be interested in stuff related to Whitewolf's Storyteller
system, specifically Vampire the Masquerade.

Items of specific interest are:
1. What is the best unit of time for running games in?
2. What sort of plots and story lines work best?
3. Suggestions for handling PC/PC and PC/NPC interaction.
4. How to handle physical actions and intentions such as 'I'll break into
the company headquarters and try to find info on their secret projects'.

But mostly, any stuff at all gratefully received. (Especially warnings of
the pitfalls to watch out for!!)

Also - would anyone be interested in playing in such a game were I to run
one? At the moment I envisage doing a Storyteller game using only Vampires
and Werewolves in a 'straight' World of Darkness setting (eg. pretty much as
described in Vampire:the Masquerade.) I have access to Internet through work
and could therefore play through Uni vacations. If you do express interest,
don't expect an instant response. This is just a first toe in the water.

If possible, please e-mail stuff to me at ac@dna.warwick.ac.uk as it's a lot
easier for me to retrieve stuff from there.

Thanks in advance

love

Anna
