Newbie Questions

[The Shadow]

Hello there,

I've been posting stories from my Mutants & Masterminds campaign at the M&M forums for some time now, and a couple people who frequent this place have urged me to cross-post here.

Before I just jump right in, though, I have a few questions for you.

First, and most importantly, does anyone object to stories about superhero gaming being posted here? All of the stories I've seen here seem to be D&D related.

If there is in fact interest, I'm a little unsure of the protocol here. Should I use the "Comics" icon to alert people to the subject matter?

On the other forum, I have two threads, one including campaign background information and the other being the campaign log itself. The first is pretty important to understanding the second. Is the two-thread separation a good idea here, or would people prefer a single one? If two threads is best, should they both go in this forum?

Thanks for your time.

The Shadow

Wonderful! This sounds really cool - and welcome.

Campaign writeups and stories of all genres are just fine. We have a MnM story or two, Call of Cthulhu, Dark*Matter, and other genres in addition to D&D. I think other genres actually get more readers, since they have a relatively unique hook.

You can use the Comics icon, or not, as you prefer. No problem either way.

I personally prefer to see campaign background in the same thread as the story, but in separate posts. I don't feel really strongly about it, but my instincts tell me that most people would prefer to read only one thread.

I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks for the response, PirateCat.

I should get some time tomorrow to post some of the background material, and maybe the first few sessions.

Should I bother with the M&M character sheets? Or just summarize them?

 

[Piratecat]

My advice would be to start with a session or two, then follow with a character sumary and the background. Grab 'em with action first! Once you have time, tuck the character sheets into a separate thread in our Rogue's Gallery forum and provide a link in the first post of your thread. Always better to catch peoples' imaginations quickly, though, and follow up with the background info once they're already hooked.

Thanks again, PirateCat. As you can see, I took your advice!

Will post more later.

P-Kitty's good with advice. And good with story (I'm trying to catch up cat man; I'll get there someday!).

We've got everything here. Star Wars, Four Color to Fantasy (another super-hero game), Arcana Unearthed. If it's a good story, we want to read it.

Well, I do anyway. Now to find your thread. . .
