[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 7928361, member: 813"] There are three threads, generally. The In Character (IC) thread. The Out of Character (ooc) thread, aka this thread. And the Rogue's Gallery (RG) thread also in the Talking the Talk forum. Once our characters are approved we post them to the RG thread and that becomes the "official character sheet". Then the DM creates the IC thread (in the play by post forum) and posts stuff like "You're in the town of Dullsville. Post how you got there and why. There's only one tavern in town. It's run by a dwarf named Fred." Then the players posts as needed to describe themselves arriving in town. Meeting Fred. Etc. The DM posts some reaction stuff. and so on and so on. Eventually the players move out into the wild and encounter some orcs. We roll for initiative and the DM says, "So and so is up." So and so's player posts what so and so does on round 1 including any die rolls. Then the next players posts (sometimes post are out of order, not important.) Eventually the DM posts a recap of everything that happened in the round and resolves all those die rolls. And then round 2 etc. Die rolls use a public die rolling website. Some people like [URL='http://coyotecode.net']Coyote Code - Play by Post[/URL] others like [URL='https://orokos.com/roll/']Dice Roller • Orokos.com[/URL] because you have to login to use it. The die rolling site gives you bbcode you can just paste here into your posts, such as this: [URL='http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=234597']Perception: 1D20+8 = [12]+8 = 20[/URL] [code][url=http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=234597]Perception: 1D20+8 = [12]+8 = 20[/url] [/code] Go to the play by post forum and skim/read the first page of an existing game. It will become apparent how this works rather quickly. [/QUOTE]
