Run a play-by-post game

[dren]

Have a couple of questions that I hope one of the mods can help me with.

1. How can I change my screen name?
2. How do I go about running a play by post campaign here on the boards? Where is the most appropriate forum to request for players, saw a couple of items on the player request forums but couldn't tell if they were for a post game here at ENW or not.

Thanks!

1. You'll need to ask an admin to do that, and keep your old name in your sig for a while. Note that, if you simply want to have a different name in the context of play-by-post game, it is easier on the admins to just register a new account and switch between them. If you want to keep the new name along with all data associated with your account, you'll need an admin. Best you change the thread name to alert one.

2. We have a whole section devoted to play by post, in fact. Recruitment generally takes place in the Talking the Talk section. The Gamers seeking Gamers forum is used when you want to recruit players for a play-by-post on a different forum. Once you have your players, the Playing the Game is where you post your in character posts (with a bit of "table talk", though most of that would be in the recruitment thread, which usually becomes the out of character thread).
There are also the Living Worlds forums, which always can use more players and DMs. You don't need to be terribly familiar with the worlds in question to play, though it might be beneficial, especially if you want to GM.
