Looking for players or games
State your game type and rules you plan to use. Give a background to the story and any other information you feel would be good for your potential players to know. This will allow you to gauge interest in your campaign first. Once you have sufficient interest and are ready to get started, post in the forum Admin Requests outlining the following:
- Name of your campaign.
- The ruleset you plan on using: e.g. '1ed', 'OSRIC', 'BECMI', 'Traveller', etc.
- A link to your recruiting thread in the 'Looking for players and games' forum.
You can run any kind of game you want, as long as it's an RPG.
Keep in mind that play by post games can take a HELL of a long time to complete. Thus, I request that if at some point you can no longer run the game you started, please let your players know that you have to quit entirely or that you have to put the game on hold. Don't just leave them hanging not knowing what has happened. All it takes is a quick post stating your situation, and everyone will understand. Abandoning your games only makes you as a GM and the forums as a whole look bad.
