I mean simple basics are nice to cover - is this D&D? d20 modern? Post apocolypse? Whatever you can cover in a few sentences - the story will give a better feel for the world, but it's nice for readers to get their bearings first. As for character intros, yes and no. I go with what the others said - stats are not really that great, but a sentence or two on each character will help readers get them straight in their heads until they get to know them better. You might say a paladin is a paladin, but not levels or stats. A few sentences, sure. But don't fill a post with it. I have an intro post in our story hour (link in sig) that gives some background but keeps it simple. As for encouragement, you should definitely do it! I think the others will agree with me that writing a good story hour is an evolution. We have some gifted authors around here and even they got better with practice and time. Don't be discouraged if your first post seems rough - it improves with practice.</blockquote>
