Well, we try to keep it simple.  Each player builds a deck. Of course we are on the honor system, and as there is no way to check and at this time it's rather pointless, you do not have to physically have a certain card, but can use a proxy.
We agree in advance if we are using revised points and CYOA.  All other deck building rules are followed. Each player posts a card play in turn, trying to create an interesting story with the post, if possible, otherwise standard Mythos rules are followed. 

If there is a question or dispute, we "table talk" the problem until the question is resolved and then the move becomes official.  We have files in our group were the turns are posted for easy reference. 

Simple, right?  Now if only a sorely missed player would post a turn you could see it in action.

Well, I used to be a big Mythos player - I organised the Sydney
tournaments (still got boxes of boosters too) but when I moved to perth
the crate's been unopened until recently when I finally got my own
place. So I'm back in the game, and writing new ones to go with my
refurbished decks.

I'm the Daniel that wrote "Return Of The Night Of The Curse Of The
Living Dead" and "The Burger Bar" CYOAsd, back on Pardoz's list

how does Mythos PBEM work, anyway?

ah, I see - well, I have a range of decks I could keep next to my comp for that sort of thing - I wouldn't mind giving my Tsathogghua deck a pin at some point

Sounds good. Any one else interested in running a second game, besides the one we're running now?  Robert are you up for being in two games?? We'd keep the present game and post to two different threads so as to keep them separate. Like to hear what anybody else thinks.

I'm always interested in a new game, but I hesitate a little here
since I've been so inactive on the other one and don't want to do
that. I'll play if you need another player, though, certainly.
