Message: <blockquote data-quote="WizWrm" data-source="post: 1165839" data-attributes="member: 13568">There's a link in my sig. It's a subforum in Playing the Game.It's intended to be a shared-world PbP, so you're right on that. Creamsteak is the founder, and he, garyh, Uriel, and Macbeth are 'judges,' which means they oversee adventures, answer questions, make executive decisions, hand out XP, etc. Though anyone can run an adventure if they want; you just need to send an e-mail to at least one of the four and get it approved, then introduce it in the Tavern thread.The guidelines and introduction to Living ENWorld are still being worked on, but basically:All you need to join is create a 1st level character, using only the 3.5 srd (30 point-buy, max starting gold) and post it to the Character Record thread (stickied at the top of the forum). Then you introduce your character in the Red Dragon Inn thread, which is the congregation point for meeting other characters and starting adventures. Macbeth will approve your character or note any changes you need to make within about a week; you'll probably be allowed to adventure before that, but you need to be ready to make changes. Every so often, a GM will drop into the thread and introduce his/her adventure, which you can join if you want, or you can wait for another adventure you prefer. Or, alternately, if you ask the judges nicely, they'll let you wander off and do whatever you want, acting as overseer, and maybe run a mini-adventure for you. The vignette, "A Hunting Trip," is an example of this.If you'd rather GM, as I mentioned before, all you need to do is write an adventure synopsis and send it to the judges for approval; once it's approved you can introduce it (usually by means of an NPC who comes in, recruiting adventurers, or a message asking for help). You can GM and play at the same time, but you can't play in your own game (creamsteak has an exception right now, I think, but that's because he's using the character as a pseudo-NPC to drive the adventure...not entirely sure). Also, you can make up to 3 characters per region (there's only one region right now, though, which is the city of Orussus and the area around it; the Red Dragon Inn is in Orussus), but they cannot interact with each other.Everyone is welcome to join. If you have more questions, stop on by the General Discussion (part 3) and ask; I'm sure everyone involved will be happy to help.We've only started recently; about two and a half months (?) ago, I think. There are roughly 40 participants, and five adventures running; obviously not everyone is playing in an adventure right now.</blockquote>
