If you find that you like what you see in these pages, and you think that you might want to become a lurker for this PBEM, you should check with the DM. We have a few lurkers now, but not many. If a player leaves, lurkers do get a chance to join in. Give it a shot - you might get lucky.
but there is a chance if there is an opening. It is best to join as a lurker and follow along so you know the story and the characters. If there is an opening, the DM will let you know - lurkers get the first chance to play. Since the game started (early 1998), we've had at least 3 openings.
To request to lurk send an email to: DM (skrules@worldnet.att.net)
Since this is an e-mail to the all mighty DM, I'd advising as the subject putting: "ROA:Please please please let me lurk!!!"
It never hurts to grovel :) (anyway, be sure to add "ROA" somewhere in the subject because the DM has 2 games going). Anyway, in the body of the email say that you want to be a lurker for the ROA game and give your e-mail address.
For those that don't know what the definition of a "lurker" is, I've copied this definition from another web site:
Some PBEM's allow `lurkers,' people that follow along reading the game mail but who do not participate actively in it. In a PBEM, lurkers don't play characters but receive the same public e-mail message that the players do. This allows the lurker to follow along with the storyline of the adventure ... It's a lot like reading a fastasy story book that is delivered to you in installments.
Also, if you ever want to not be a lurker any more, please just drop a nice email to the DM. No sense in flaming him.
