I will say that I'm about to start DMing for another group, and I'm playing in my main group, so I don't think I'll have the time to DM here as well. The style of play will be a big factor too. If we're doing forum style, relatively slow paced, I can definetely play. If we're going for live, I'll be pretty stretched for when I could actually do it. I do have every Saturday off though.

Real time is pretty self explanatory, but what I've seen from other forums playing is generally something like

-Deciding on time limits for actions, could be a day, two days, 12 hours, etc. depending on the group.
-Posting character sheets somewhere for easy reference for all, especially DM
-DM presents the scenario, we all say what we're going to do within that time limit, DM resolves them
-Combat is done normally, just text based.

Original Roll String: 1d20+5
1 20-Sided Dice: (9)+5 = 14


Does that hit?

If so,
Original Roll String: 1d10
1 10-Sided Dice: (6) = 6
fire damage!

We could either find another site to run it in, or I'm sure we could make a thread here somewhere (Mishmash, or arcade, something). Imgur seems fine for images, or we could just put them directly into the forum under spoiler tags. If it's going to be play by post then I'm definitely in. But yes, biggest thing is a mod.

I have mostly experience with live groups, and I find 4-5 is the sweet spot. 3 is doable, but a little boring, and 6 is doable but a little hectic, but more than that gets too crazy and hard to divide time fairly and in an enjoyable way.

There are other published adventures as well, like Tyranny of Dragons: Hoard of The Dragon Queen, Elemental Evil: Princes of the Apocolypse, and Rage of Demons: Out of the Abyss.

I have never heard of Mouse Guard before. Just the name is interesting to me.
