I was thinking of playing with an ajax chat room here. The game logs would be permanent, and since I've been doing a lot of ajax work here I might be able to get the best of both worlds in here.
I really like play by forums for the ability of players and DM to write out huge descriptive narration-heavy posts. But many games just work better and more natural in a real time environment. I'll see what I can do about putting in a quick demo and maybe I can get some feedback, start simple and expand, rather than what I normally try to do, which is start complex and run out of time. ;)
