  About PBEM - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards
PBeM is wonderful for people (like me) who don't have enough herophiles in their area to keep a game going.
Personally, I've found PBEM seems to encourage people to invest a bit more in the their character's personality and non combat distinction since combat is slower (but generally more descriptive) in that format
Many PBEMs are "systemless" and just function on a loose set of guidelines to get them from story to story.

 The Global Guardians PBEM Universe
The Global Guardians PBEM Universe is a parallel world, quite similar to our own in some ways, and in others very different.
The Global Guardians PBEM Universe is copyrighted to Jack Butler, and is his solely owned property.
The Global Guardians PBEM Universe, and all of the campaigns therein, are works of collaborative fiction.

 PBEM PROTOCOL
As PBEM is already slow enough, it is best to adopt stricter policies that help prevent these misunderstandings in the first place.
Still, PBEM is tricky while postings pass each other in the night, or we can't always reply as quickly as we may like.
Still, PBEM games tend to have lower posting rates than this, which is why I go on at length about the proper use of liberties since they do tend to save a great deal of time.

In a face-to-face PBEM game played between two players there is really no need for a Game Master (GM) because players manage their game by themselves.
When three or more players are participating in a PBEM game, then a Game Master is required.
For example, a RPG PBEM will go through a few steps to get going: there will be a call for players, the GM will send an e-mail note, or public post, to all the players describing the surroundings and current situation.

 Want to Run PBEM... - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards
PBEM's are great for those players who are a bit daunted by the Hero System.
PBEM also helped me play on my strengths (or helped me avoid my weaknesses: tomato/tomahto) as a GM.
If anyone who has run a successful PBEM has some sample posts he/she would like to share I think it would be helpful.

 Shelley Chrystal Mactyre: PBEM Guide
In my experience, the best type of PBEM players -- and I do number myself among them --are the frustrated fiction writers — you know, the type who will send you a ten-page character background within twenty-four hours of being told they might have a shot at the game.
The longer I run and play in PBEM games, the more I think of them as joint writing projects and the less I think of them as games — this is, I think, a function of the types of games I run and the players I enjoy the most.
PBEM gaming can be one of the most rewarding types of roleplaying, or one of the most frustrating.

 FAQ: Play By Email (PBEM) Role-Playing Games
PBEM games also tend to have a great deal more noncombat character interaction than face to face games, although of course this varies a great deal.
Unfortunately, the reality of a PBEM game means that if you were to run them on their solo jaunt, the rest of the players would be sleeping for the next real-world month.
I have run a number of PBEM games over the years, even some very long-lived ones, but this was the first time I went into the game with a single, grand, years-long story arc in mind.

 Bin PBEM Profiles Article
PBEM Profiles allow you to create a PBEM profile for each of your opponents and then when you want to commence a game against them all you do is select that opponents PBEM profile and BiN automatically inserts the opponents email address into the PBEM game.
All they need to do then is save your PBEM Profile into their BIN Profiles folder and they will now have a copy of your profile from which they can select to play PBEM games against you.
When you setup a PBEM game, you have the option of selecting an opponent (and their respective email address) from one of your existing PBEM Profiles.

A PBEM is a Play By E-Mail multiplayer game, where a save is passed from one person to another every turn by e-mail.
A normal PBEM typically lasts six months, assuming a reasonable turn rate and four human players.
The main PBEM community at CGN at the moment revolves around SMAC - but as soon as Civ3 multiplayer becomes available, you can bet we'll be the first on the scene.

I'm not sure that Cyberboard is the best way to conduct Diplomacy games any more (I would give that to JDip or some other judge program), but DIPCHOOSER is still useful because it creates a nice graphic of the period flags coming out in random order.
Many pbem sites try to be all things to everyone-- I much prefer a site that focuses on a subset of games that it can present really well, such as Aaron Marriner's no Frills amarriner.com or Jim McCann's CONSIMNET.
We are also adding a Temple of Mars section based upon the old Emporium page, and will start populating Boardgame Geek's PBeM Wiki for a mirror of some of the PBeM educational material that has been developed over the years.

 PBEM Players - Home
Each participant's bit of the story is generally referred to as a post, named after the act of 'posting' a message to the e-mail list or message board where the stories are collected and distributed.
One of the many pitfalls with running a PBEM game is to make sure the story keeps going forward and evolve.
A PBEM game can continue for several years, so if you do not plan ahead from the start, you may very well be painting yourself into a corner.

As far as your synopsis of playing a PBEM, pretty much right on.
