Be very clear and concise in your posts.Check out some other PbP games on this board. It will give you a good example.Some games have each player (and the DM) post in a different color. This can be very handy when scanning a long thread for a particular post.Also, there is often 2 seperate threads for a game. One is the actual game, the other is OOC discussion.OOC comments in the game thread should be clearly marked in italics or a different color.Don't be intimidated. We aren't going to bite you. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Also, don't get discouraged if the game lags a little. It happens.Be sure to keep you players updated. Collect our email addresses. If you aren't going to be able to post for a few days, let us know.Oh yea, have fun with it. It really isn't that bad. Often, the players will carry the game themselves and just look to you to provide information and npc interaction. Expect online PCs to have more depth and character than table-top PCs. Use this to your advantage.<a href="http://groups.msn.com/WoTAdventure/_homepage.msnw?pgmarket=en-us" target="_blank">Here</a> is the wheel of time game that I am in. We have had a lot of fun and it is a good example of a well run game.The Players job:Have fun and play the game. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Post at least once per day. If you have limitations (I don't post much on the weeekends myself) let the other players and DM know.Advice:Be patient with the DM. It is easy to get confused in this media.If you aren't going to post for a few days, please drop a message letting us know.As mentioned above, it is good to post in a different color and use itallics for OOC comments.  Just my two coppers.....<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
