First Post
Obviously a newbie... look at that pitiful post count. *sheesh*
Anyways, I was wondering if any mods/veteran SH writers had any quick words of advice for starting a new SH. One of my players and I have been working with a couple characters each, and I have an intro write up almost ready to go.
My questions are:
How long should the first post be?
Should the first post give the "So-and-So, X fighter/X paldin, basic description" doo-hickey at the start, or should you just introduce the characters in the writing?
Should there be any world background in the first post?
I looked through several SH's and found that most have evolved so far that the "first post" is hard to find. Which, actually, is very daunting to newbies, and first time SH'ers.
Please just a few words of encouragement and a couple of answers.. and i'll be well upon my way!!!
Thanks.
