I tried to do that years ago, and the problem was no one was doing much, 
of course that was after the group had mostly died.

None.  I haven't played or run anything in more than a year now.  My 
last was January of last year running Dungeon Robber (the tabletop 
version) on Rpol which does play by post.  Unfortunately I burned out on 
it as I was posting way too frequently. I also found a lot of flaws that 
were irritating to me, I wanted to fix but would likely require a 
reboot, and I was down to 3 players who really only wanted to play solo.

It seems to be getting harder and harder to get players who are 
interested in non-5e play.  Or maybe I've picked up bad habits and am no 
longer a good DM.  I'm not sure.  Ah for the days I was running 2e with 
7 players for years on end.
