First post to include the following:
*Info on the type of game (what realm or genre it is located in such as Sci fi or D&D Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance or a special setting -described. Such details as 'low magic land' or high magic or warriors are highly sought after etc. can be listed here if the creator of the game wants that info available. Deities and other details may also be listed here.
*Info on WHO is invited to play (clans only, anyone, only certain types of characters needed, ie: it's a dwarves only game).. etc.
*How many players are needed. Special rules/requirements (such as no magic weapons in initial inventory or must be level three and dm'd by rules), or dm'd loosely, no special requirements etc.
* Players could post their character stats and bios here too.
Ideally THIS would be the overall explanation of the game and what is needed for it. So that potential players may decide to ask to join or not. It would ALSO serve as a reference for players AFTER they join the game. They can go back to check details or even see stats of another player in the game if they need to.
Yes this is what I thought would be good too. There needs to be some sort of of procedure so that it's clear what the thread's about, who can join etc. Some threads don't even have rules like no spamming, no super characters etc; the poster just goes straight into the story, which is confusing and a bit off-putting for a new poster especially. I think this way would work well [img]smile.gif[/img]
