Does anyone know of any play by post games on Usenet? Any one ever play
role playing games on here?

This one is not in Usenet, but in a small nntp network. There's a game
where one posts a pretty small ASCII art, post some clues (like the
category it belongs in the subject header, number of characters, and a scrambled set of letters), and wait (usually within a week) for an
answer of what that art represents in rot13. I thought the game
originally belonged here, but it seems I'm wrong. :)

That sounds really cool. I would like to setup a private usenet network
where people can play pen and paper games through posts. The issue
though is with the dice rolling.

Maybe the DM can do the dice rolling instead? or just constrain it to a
few friends and just do an honor system.
