[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 4242736, member: 4441"] DannoE, you need to post this in the Talking the Talk forum. That's where you recruit players and talk about out-of-character things. The Playing the Game forum is only for in-character action. Character sheets get posted in the Plots and Places forum. All Play by Post games around here have those three threads. Check my sig for the games I've played and whatnot, and you'll see what I mean. I know you're new, and I just wanted to help set you straight. You'll probably also want to add things like whether your people need to use point buy (and how much) or dice rolling (and what method) for character generation stats, what books are allowed, what version of the game you want to run (3.0, 3.5, 4.0, etc.), how you want your character sheet formated, and how you want the players to roll. In Play by Post, oftentimes the DM rolls everything, or the players can do some of their own rolling with an electronic dice roller like [URL=http://invisiblecastle.com/]www.invisiblecastle.com[/URL] (which allows everyone to see their rolls so you know no one's cheating). You'll also need to add how hit points are being done, how much money they have (if other than normal) if they have any more XP that the base for 6th level (to provide for item crafting or other things), if you have any house rules, and other things of that matter. Take a look [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=225634]here[/URL], it's the OOC (out of character) thread for my latest game, which has the kind of information your potential players will be looking for. You'll also want to put "Recruiting" in the subject line so people know you're looking for players. [/QUOTE]
