This is the thread for my home campaign that I'm going to be running on the Enworld boards. This is the Out of Character thread in the Talking the Talk forum. This is where any major out of character or meta discussion for the game can take place.
In the first post in this thread I will give general information for the game and instructions. In the second post I have a list of important and helpful links you may want to use for this game. The third post contains character creation mechanics. Everything after that point is free-for-all where anyone can post questions or discuss any topic at hand.
Basics
This game is played in the Playing the Game forum. In the 2nd post in this thread I have a link to the game thread. That is where all IC stuff will go. Role-playing, combat, discussions, etc.
The first step to complete is getting a character up and running. This requires you to make a character following the guidelines I've set up. If you have any questions, post here. If you have any important opinions post here. When your character is fully set up, we will post it to the Characters, Items, and Monsters thread. That's linked in the post below. That is where I'll post anything I don't mind you looking at (dead NPC stat-blocks, new monsters, magic items, etc).
Once the character sheets are up, I'll start posting to the In-Character thread (also linked below) starting the game off. I intend to start off with a combat so you can learn how play by post combat works, and see what sort of system you like.
Character Template
Here is one example of a character sheet you could use. This one all you need to do is copy the contents to notepad, then fill in the blanks. Then replace all the \ with / to make the formatting work.
Example 1
For another example, here's a monster manual stat-block format for a character.

The third and probably easiest option is to fill out character sheet in a word or excel file, and then port save it as an attachment to the board.
There are a LOT of examples of character stat-blocks in the pbp boards around here. While I prefer to write all my characters up as a monster stat-block, that's definitely not the most common.
