I would also like to check that mine actually made it through.

 So has yet another game fizzeled out before even beggining?

Looks like that. I've never had Play-By-Post go well.

 Sorry guys, life's been a little hectic lately. I haven't given up on this game just yet. And I have received everyone's character sheets, so there's the good news. I'll be getting back to you as soon as things settle down a bit. No worries!

Ahh, good to know that it's not completely died just yet.

The play by mail games I've tried to be a part of fell apart due to the GM disappearing as well. I'm curious, you said for people to flesh out their ideas to see if they'll fit into the game you plan on running, could you elaborate on what kind of game you want to run so people could design a character that fits it beforehand?

 Can we get an estimate of when the next bit of minor information will be shared about this game? The complete lack of communication is rather off putting, as a play by post game needs the sort of daily upkeep that other styles wouldn't.

Are you still looking for players for this game? I have read most of Broken Chains some time ago, but could maybe join in after that?

I do agree that PbPs tend to fizzle out unless you're very diligent and keep in contact, even if there's nothing much to say.  Having a web presence for your game helps, some place for players to gravitate to.  I'd suggest a wiki on Wikidot.com as a good option unless you want to throw together a quick website for the game - WordPress is good for that.  I've done both options in the past. Problem is it can take a lot of time up, which isn't ideal if you have a game to run.  Both can have players making updates though, which takes the pressure off a bit.  These are just my thoughts from having done this before, but as someone who is 'currently' running an online Deathwatch game for my friends which hasn't seem a player update for over a month, I certainly don't have the best answers yet.

 Since it has been over 2 weeks since the GM has made a post in this thread, I have to assume that the game is cancelled. Guess I'll go look for yet another one.
