now, keep in mind that a lot of strategies you might be familiar with if you've played more with the Forrester ruleset aren't valid here. I get that playing in real time on Twitch and whatnot is all the rage these days, but if you're planning on trying something like the Rectory Road Hop, you'll probably be disappointed, because play by post is a game that demands much greater thought from players. no shade if that's your jam, just know that this is a more high-minded pursuit.
