Does anyone have any experience with play-by-mail games?

There’s a possibility I might end up back in prison and I think it might be a fun thing to try while in there.

    You can't just say that and not expect us to ask you for the story.

      It’s not important, don’t worry about it.

      But feel free to ask me anything about RPGs in prison, it’s a fascinating topic. I never got to play personally, but a lot of the other chomos in there loved it.

              Naw half the guys in my prison were chomos tbh.

              He anyway said "other chomos" and we can presume not getting along with the people he is assumed to be one of (lots of free /tg/ can probably relate) is why he wants to play by mail rather than in person.

              The REAL question is why after you went down for it once, why would run any chance of going down for it again. Like, just look at Mangas that are US legal for frick's sake. You obviously have a pattern of escalation.

                Nononononono look I haven’t reoffended.

                I’m just saying that I’m obviously really stupid so it’s good to be prepared. And the rules of probation are exceptionally complex and indecipherable. Even minor things can get you a violation and sent back to prison if you piss off your probation officer.

                Here’s a few restrictions: can’t have any alcohol or weed, even though it’s legal here, can’t go anywhere “children frequent” (which includes basically every store technically), can’t use the internet unmonitored, can’t look at nudity, can’t stay out late, can’t fail a pseudoscientific lie detector test, etc etc etc

                What the actual frick, Bro? That seems unconstitutional unless you're in a halfway house or something. In which case, or really for whatever reason you're being monitored right now you really shouldn't even be on Ganker you're just asking for trouble. So glad I'm not a convicted sex offender. That's, like, super uncool right now.

                Yeah, it sure doesn’t seem like it does it? I’m told that the lie detector issue is working it’s way through the courts. Not to get political, but with the current Supreme Court makeup, I’m not holding my breath lol

                And yeah, I mean I get your advice. I’m trying to be careful

                Well I mean pedo is such a strong word, you know…

                But you’re not wrong about having bad experiences with age-appropriate partners. During my formative adolescent years around puberty I dealt with many teen girls who seemed like vicious, judgmental, castrating, blood-sucking succubis. But at the same time I dealt with many little girls who seemed wonderful, delightful, loving, accepting, and just easier to be around. I’m sure that messed up my mind

                Also I’m on the autism spectrum, and every song person on the autism spectrum is secretly a pedo

                No shit man, they tend to be. Kids are great but anyone sexualizing them needs therapy, maybe a leper colony esque situation, get confirmed pedos on an island with no internet access and keep them there. I'm also an autist that won the lottery and isn't a moron, but I'm not sure how that's relevant to sexuality.

                As far as what I did, there was a site, it kind of got secretly captured by the fbi, they continued running it and logged the information of anyone who visited it. The site had some stuff of an unsavory nature. Didn’t download anything but turns out you don’t need to in order for it to be illegal

                Ah man, that's no good to hear. I can see why you're in your situation but you didn't get involved with anything, so you should be okay. Who knows, is what it is.

            in court, be sure to find out what software they used to catch you
            the feds have a program that can not only snoop, but plant images. If they used it, you have a strong case of reasonable doubt

              Well, it turns out you don’t need to actually download images in order for it to be illegal. Just willingly visiting a site is still a lesser, but still serious, charge. ASK ME HOW I KNOW

          Oh man, that’s be great. You know federal prisons have a propriety messaging system called Corrlinks. It’s similar to email that allows inmates to communicate with the outside (for a fee).

          I bet an inmate could actually run a quest thread from prison using that, if he had help from someone on the outside

        Don't play TRPGs by mail. While you still can, find a dozen or so real perverted b***hes online and get their addresses under whatever pretense you need to that lines up with all the facts they could discover, namely your age and charges and intake photo. Dump all your RPing into whatever characters their weird libidos want and score yourself on what they do for you in exchange.

        As far as GAMING goes I would suggest accumulating a bunch of Fighting Fantasy and other gamebooks to be mailed to you on a schedule or, if that's not allowed in your state or the fed or wherever, set about memorizing a solo system now that you can play with whatever materials you have inside, I'm assuming at least pencil and paper and a way to generate random numbers. Some ex-cons have posted very amusing pics of spinners.

        They also say that Rifts is big on the inside but some suggest that may just be because west coast prisons have a lot of Rifts materials in their libraries for some reason.

          Weird plan, but interesting. Only possible problem is that mail is sometimes monitored and sexual stuff is frowned upon. In fact, several guys got in BIG trouble for just writing or drawing porn (of kids, naturally)

          >As far as GAMING goes I would suggest accumulating a bunch of Fighting Fantasy and other gamebooks

          You know what, I thought about that! The gamebooks I played were good but don’t seem to take up a huge amount of time tho. Then again I haven’t tried Fighting Fantasy ones

          >set about memorizing a solo system now that you can play with whatever materials you have inside, I'm assuming at least pencil and paper and a way to generate random numbers.

          Yeah, dice aren’t allowed but playing cards are. I imagine it would be easy to alter a deck to let it give you results for various dice.

          In fact, I theorized about making a solo system that’s basically a dungeon crawl where playing cards are the randomization element. What cards you draw determine what enemies you encounter, events, items, and combat. You could even make a system where the player is dealt a hand of cards, and you can choose which card to play - saving strong cards for desperate situations, etc.

          > They also say that Rifts is big on the inside
          Huh weird. It was Pathfinder that was big in mine. This was back when there was all that 4e controversy and people switched over to pathfinder for a while, I guess

            Lol teenage girls are my personal favorite but I also play my VRPGs on Nightmare mode

            There are pretty huge gamebooks and some have replayability but what you're wanting is a tile-based crawl like picrel. You could play the real thing while you're on the outside then work out your own version of it on the inside. Also remember that a solo rpg can be stretched considerably through journaling.

              Ahh smart, smart. These are some good ideas. I’ll look into some games like you described. Also, designing your own game from scratch would probably pass a lot of time in prison
