Teach me to PBP, Obi Wan...

[Biohazard]

Guys, I'm thinking about trying to start up a Gamma World PBP sometime in January, but although I've GMed for close to 20 years, I've never ran a PBP. Can anyone give me a breakdown of how it works, how one starts, recruits, the mechanics involved, etc.? Do I just go to the PBP section of enworld and post away, or do I "register" somehow with the powers that be? Etc. etc.

Thanks in advance...

Well, basically you just post away However, before you start you might want to look at some games in progress, especially the early posts for suggestions on character set-up and the types and numbers of threads you actually need for your game. I would also like to plug www.rpol.net, which is set up as an exclusive free PBP messageboard system, it is very cool and is really easy to manage a game thru. Don't get me wrong. ENworld is great too.
