I'm more interested in the making of this sort of game than the playing of it, but I'll check these out regardless, so I can get a feel for mechanics and such :)

I'll definitely check all of this out, it's totally my jam. 

Leading in with a browser game and having the player input their email sounds like a great idea, I'm just not sure how to go about it (as my software skills are entirely mediocre. )

One thing I've been fascinated with lately is the idea of a play by post game using email.  Something like a mix between being a game master and a Twine/choose your own adventure game. The advantages over a CYOA game being the personalization towards the player, and not needing to have the entire game finished before release (as you can always add more paths and tidbits as the game goes and players make choices you don't expect), and the advantages over a tabletop RPing game being that you don't need anything more than email, and you only really need to depend on the game master to be available, instead of other players, plus, a tighter narrative that's replayable if you so wish.

Cool shit and all, but how would one go about hosting that sort of game? While the actual bit you play on is just run of the mill email, you need a space to actually advertise and explain the game, the setting, the rules, any bits and bobs, etc.

Uploading an HTML with all of that is possible, but then we run into classification problems: It's not a "game" because the game part is not actually software, and it's not a "physical game" either. 

Anyway, this is mostly conjecture out of curiosity, but I'd like to know what other people think. One of my ideas would be to make a Twine game as a character generator and then direct people towards an e-mail to continue it the adventure. 

Hello everyone! I'm a comic artist looking for people I can work with. I've nibbled at making my own games but I really prefer to work with others.

Here is my portfolio.It's a bit empty of recent work because I've been mostly doing studies and working on my webcomic.

I'd generally prefer paid work (obviously) but given the nature of most tiny indie + amateur game projects, I'm down with offering a lower rate. If a project interests me greatly or is for a smaller, fun project like a game jam, I can work for free (given the workload isn't astronomical)
