Play-by-post gaming - Definition and Overview

Play-by-post gaming (PBP), or Message board role-playing, 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 table-top gamers and creative writers. 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.
