IC: Historical Rome using 5e rules.

Interest Check in a totally historical (neither magic nor monsters) Roman campaign using the information contained in the Glory of Rome Sourcebook. The premise is players although they are friends and a sort of a fellowship they are randomly allocated in different social classes so their conflicts although different are resolved as a party.

To be honest running several games it is not as demanding as people might think, the setting up is the most demanding part, you must read a lot to set things properly, once the game is running you only are required to read a bit here and a bit there to post the next thing happening. I love PBP because you are able to take time to read before resuming the storytelling, solve doubts, research rules, etc. Stopping the game in a live session to read and research would make your players yawning and getting impatient.
I have 8 games now and opposite to what people might think I am answering a couple private messages per day and moving from 4 to 5 posts per game at most, some games even don't move in days so I do not see the problem in handling many games at the same moment.
Another variable is my job, I do not spend time traveling to job, my job is near home and I also have in my working time some minutes here and some minutes there to check the site and answering messages and posting in the forums, a privilege not many have.

So, to be clear, DnD 5e, no magic/monsters/etc.

Count me in

Oh, I have that book! I admit I'd probably prefer low-magic to outright no-magic, but still this could be interesting.

I guess only Fighters and Rogues are available as classes right? All the others have at least some element of magic.
