Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 2016964" data-attributes="member: 7006">At this stage in the game Lobo, where all-new games starting on ENWorld appear maybe only once a month... once someone puts in a call for players you're gonna get probably a dozen people saying they want to play.  That's when you as a DM have to decide who/how you are selecting your players, cause you'll have no shortage of ideas/concepts... but not necessarily the STYLE of players you want.  After all... some make posts of one or two sentences, some make posts of three or four paragraphs... some talk in character, some don't... some are players who are already participating in a half-dozen games, some are newbies, some are in-between... some post three times a day, some post one a week or more... so many types of players that you need to figure out the kind of roleplayers you want to have in the game.  Whatever will make your life easiest and most interesting (especially as you said this is your first attempt at DMing a PbP here on ENWorld).And as far as warforged House members go... I think that they CAN'T be actual members of the House, but they CAN belong to the Guilds that are run by the Houses.  The way I've always seen that relationship (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong)... is that you have the various Guilds that employ pretty much anyone regardless of race.  The Guilds are RUN however by the members of the Houses (some dragonmarked, some not).  It'd be like a family-run business where only the members of the family "own" the business, but they'll hire other folks to come in and work.  And usually those people hired to work do a lot of the less-important jobs that the "owners" wouldn't do.  So a warforged might very well be a member of one of the Guilds... might very well be an important member of the Guild (even working hand-in-hand with a House member or two even), but would never truly be a member of the House itself.</blockquote>
