Hey Idrahil,
I think a lot depends on how focused your PBP group is. If you set out with a goal of posting every day and finishing it up in one month, you can probably get "quite a bit" (in PBP terms) done. But you'll definitely need focus. And time. It takes quite a bit of effort, in terms of records keeping, to run a PBP game. If you're all prepped up front it can certainly make it run smoother.
The other side of it is, the PBP format allows the ref breathing time (hours rather than seconds) to consider everything before replying. From that point of view it can be a very good platform for evaluating the game as it is running. Whereas, FTF, the ref has his hands so full of running the game, he hardly has time think strategically on the fly.
I would recommend that you keep it very short, and very focused, and give yourself a limited time box; say a month from kickoff. I'd be surprised if you didn't get some positive information out of the exercise.
Good luck!
