I’m preparing to run the first play by post game using this system, Chrono Bolt, over at the Shining Force Central forums. I considered running it on my own forums – where I can optimize for play by post with custom BBcode and extensions – but decided I’d rather see how well the system works on an unoptimized platform.

Chrono Bolt will be a sequel to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. It will address some of the major plot threads left hanging by Chrono Break’s cancellation while fielding an original plot that seeks to reconcile Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Hopefully it will be something fun for the players that evokes fond memories of a beloved setting while enabling them to engage with it in a new way.
