Play-by-post gaming

Play-by-post gaming (PBP), or Message board role-playing game, is a class of games, usually role-playing games, carried out on Internet forums and message boards. This is a niche area of the online roleplaying community, catering to both tabletop role-playing game gamers and creative writing. Games are often based on other games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, non-game fiction such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , or in original settings created and expanded upon by system administrators, moderators and players. This activity is closely related to both interactive fiction and collaborative writing.
