STD is horror, based on Steven King's "The Stand". I think the thing about PBeMs/PBMBs is that you can have more than one party active in the same game. In some cases this can lead to the game fracturing into what's effectively two or three separate games using a common setting, which is what happened to Kalyr.

I'm interested in whether that makes a difference in PBeM. I know Kalyr, but what are the other two games like genre-wise? I’m interested in whether that makes a difference in PBeM.
