I've been fascinated by the idea of playing Burning Wheel for ages (had given up on playing and running RPGs until my curiosity was piqued by BW - damn you Luke!) and thought I'd take the plunge...however I'm currently based in Vietnam.
Anyone running an online play-by-email or forum game that would suit my time zone? My preferences would be for something historical or Middle Earth based, but would consider a home-brew fantasy campaign.
Look forward to hearing from someone, somewhere willing to run a game, or has one running that I could participate in?
Thanks in advance!

I'm on the other side of the globe, but I work evenings, so I can't find times to play with gamers in my time zone. I'm involved with a few regular BW games on Skype; I'm starting a fantasy BW campaign on Thursdays 4-7 pm GMT which may be a bit late for you, but I'm also running Mouse Guard Wednesday mornings, 4-7 am GMT. It seems you're 11 hours ahead from my zone, so the Thursday BW game would actually not start until 10 pm your time, and the other would be in the middle of your typical work schedule.

I'm also looking at starting a game on Skype late on Saturday nights, but that would be early afternoon on Sunday for you.

Thanks MadDrB :)

Unfortunately my work schedule is as equally untraditional (10am local time-9pm local time), plus I have Sunday work once a month or so, which kind of messes up 'live' skype based games (I assume you're using chat or do you mean via mics?). If you were ever to consider a slow-paced email game I'd very happily join in, but I assume due to the mechanics of BW this might slow things down to an absolute crawl?
Thanks again!
