Check the left hand corner of the page where it says VB code. It tells you how to do all the posting bells and whistles.

vB Code
vB code is a set of tags based on the HTML language that you may already be familiar with. They allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does, but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing. The ability to use vB Code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator, so you should check the forum rules when you post a new message.

Below is a list of the vB Codes you can use to format your messages.

I'm probably going to start a new game the beginning of November. I'll be taking four to five players with a preference for new players. Unless they dissappear (or another game starts before mine) the three players currently in the Ready Lounge (Aquaphibian, Ghost, Intrepid) are in. I'll try to insert some background into the game so feel free to beef that portion of the characters up.

 

[JRYoung]

Sounds great Salix, I'm ready to roll.

 

[Bront]

I'll make sure final approvals are done by then

 

[Fenris2]

Squeeee! Squeee! Er... *ahem* I meant, thanks Salix Ghost and I are looking forward to it.

 

[Malthusian]

Intrepid's looking for a bit of heroing. I, on the other hand, am fairly new to the whole PbP thing. I hope you're willing to bear with my inexperience.

After playing through a mission (or two) I'll probably try my hand at Narrating. I have an adventure I'd like to run once I get a handle on PbP Roleplaying.

Don't worrry about inexperience. As long as you have fun and keep your posts regular everything should be fine. Getting used to the pace is probably the hardest thing. I've only been playing PbP for a year and the first time I played the MM2e system was as a GM. I think the same goes for Bront(the MM2e, not the PbP). So if you feel up to it after a bit, think about starting a game. Check out the training room proposal. It might be good for your situation, because you could get practice with the game mechanics there. Of course it still needs to be approved. Is the adventure yours or based on a pre-written one? I have some that I haven't read. If i know which one it is; I can keep it that way.

 

[Malthusian]

The adventure I'm considering is one I wrote - or, rather, one I'm writing, as I'm only about half way through it. But, I think it'll be a blast to play; plenty of magic and mayhem and a fair number of plot twists. It's called Grave Intentions and I'll (possibly) be looking for 4-6 players. I hope to start it the first or second week of January (yeah, I know that's a whole two-plus months away ).
