Looking for a GURPS Play-by-Post game...

I'd like to do play by post for the first one anyway, for a variety of reasons.

Alright, I think I'd like to do some sort of first contact scenario: The world has recently had contact with a foreign world, which is now interfering but not invading. Inter-world travel is very rare and expensive (virtually unknown on your planet). The foreign world has two major factions that immediately begin allying themselves with different factions on your world. All sorts of alien creatures are now present and their motives are uncertain. They are familiar with magic but have other tools at their disposal (e.g. psionics).

Your world will be a more or less standard fantasy world that's going through a very tumultuous period of adjustment. I'm thinking 150CP characters. I'm okay with a continuum of magical powers: mages and other casters have the most, while there are other melee/rogue types that have some important powers. If you've read some of the Malazan series your characters are probably like younger versions of the main characters. Your average officer will likely have some sort of fetishes for protection and magic weapon with other fighters having looted fetishes or won them as rewards. There will be some orders of fighters that have some powers from Powers book or other enhancements. Innate casters will not be unheard of.

Books: Basic two, Powers, Magic, maybe Thaumatology, maybe Fantasy
