This is my reply to your probable automatic letter
response but here goes.

My PBeM is AD&D style. I can format to PBeM though.
I've been DM'ing for about 2 years and I can really
add bang to the campaign. This campaign setting is
called Eart. It contains an extensive roleplaying
universe for all. You begin at module 1 (Level 0)
and keep on going in an giant storyline as you explore
all of Eart. Eart has three main isles. The first isle
(Inys Haen) is where your training begins. You'll gain
about 9-12 levels on this isle. You'll then travel the
other isles. The next isles are Inys Nohr and finnaly
Daventry. In one module if the characters do something
I've prepped they'll discover a whole new isle. 
You'll eventually end back somewhere on Inys Haen with
more modules to conquer. I assume my world would last
a good 2-3 years before going sour. I have the
complete accessories to AD&D and I've run many RPG's
but never an PBeM. I've done Message Board RPG's which
are similar to PBeM. Thankyou for considering my
proposal and I hope that I will have your approval to
host my PBeM on your site.

Req> Game Request: eart (fwd)

Doesn't really say much about the game, but I guess one can assume a typical
medieval AD&D type game.  Nothing wrong with that, but with only two years
DM'ing experience and no PBEM experience, I wonder how good his "extensive
roleplaying universe" really is.  And gaining 9-12 levels just in the
starting phase of the game?  He estimates 2-3 years.  I'd say either 2-3
months (if it's not very good and people lose interest) or 2-3 decades (if
there really is that much to do).

My recommendation is that he should (A) be a player in a PBEM for a while to
get a feel for them, and then (B) tailor the adventures to what can
reasonably be accomplished in PBEM time frames, with a focus on role-playing
rather than level advancement.

Kevin.
