Message: <blockquote data-quote="Emirikol" data-source="post: 2988082" data-attributes="member: 10638">>Well, how does my add stand up in this part? I play FR and my homebrew Ascension and am willing to DM otehr worlds (DL or DS, for example). Does it count? > Of course, I am hoping to get ~18 year old gamers, so getting noobies is likely. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable gaming with a person older unless he was related to a core group memeber. Or he DMed.One of the tricks that I've used to get people in our age group is to say, "group is made up of players aged 25-40."  You could say something like "14-24 or whatever."  >I added CHarGen because I didn't want to have to deal with poeple coming and being like "where's my dice and PHB?" Despite having 4 PHBs to my name (long story), I'm not a baby sitter.Yea, that sounds reasonable.  I usually discuss that with players after they've inquired.  In fact, we have a "Bring your A game" thing that we go over with all new players.  Its basically table rules (cocked die rules, don't be late, bring your books, if you forget your character you get "the loaner" character, you can't leave your character behind and skip a week if you want x.p., etc."  We also have a house rulebook that goes over our rule -tweaks.The single most important thing that I've done however is to start a YAHOOGROUP or GOOGLEGROUP for each different campaign (only current players go in the current yahoogroup, thus not worrying about the hassle of not inviting players back..or you just kick them off the yahoogroup).  Doing a website is nice, but it's a lot more work than is necessary when there's stuff out there that's already set up.  <a href="http://www.groups.yahoo.com" target="_blank">www.groups.yahoo.com</a> or groups.google.com.Make sure you make it clear to everyone that you get a chance to try them out and "if you don't fit, no offense." >  I am now decided on one of two modules from the feedback from my other thread, so this might have a lot of merit <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Thanks.You could post the adventure 'blurb' on your advertisement. >  okay, so my text is too long, you're saying? I could trim it a bit, basically?There's a rule in advertising:  3 seconds to catch your headline or you lose them.  The rest of the text can be whatever you want, but if you don't catch them with the headline, they walk on by.I'll see if I can round up a copy of my Ad and attach it to a post here so you've got a format to work with.  Oh, one more thing.  I always stick a piece of artwork on the advertisement.  not big, but enough to show that your game is a cut above the guy who wrote his ad on the back of a playing card with a dying pen...The key is to get your ad out to every forum you can find (game stores, comic stores, online, hobby shops, etc.)  Just don't forget to put your phone number on there <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=";)" />jh</blockquote>
