Best way to learn tabletop is just to do tabletop. Play-by-post and tabletop [i]do not[/i] run the same way. I'd be more than willing to teach you the systems I use, as I've already taught four completely new players in my current ongoing campaign who'd never touched a tabletop system before and began with traditional play-by-post on chat.

Buuuut, our schedules might not line up. I get the feeling you're not in Pacific Standard Time. Or near it.
