Because RPing on a forum is quite a bit different from RPing through a single thread, this topic will show you some tips for posting in the correct manner on this site once the RP goes live.

Any relevant update to postings will be added to this OP, and if you need to, ask any questions you need below.

1. - Regular Posting - This works the same way it normally does in a forum RPG. Plain text can be used for anything, but if you want your posts to stand out in some fashion, you can stylize the text in numerous ways.

- Bold - Often means shouting or making a declaration.
- Italics - These can either mean very quiet speech, or internal thoughts. In other instances, it can be used when a character is speaking in another language. (Be sure to add the correct translation nearby.)
- Colors - If you have multiple speakers in a post, this can be used to identify each individual without having to use speech tags such as 'said' or 'replied'.

Also, feel free to use pictures, sound clips, YouTube videos, ect to flesh out your posts if you like. I encourage all of you to do this as it makes posts very vibrant.

2. - Travel Posting - This is a time when your PCs are moving from one place to another. While the usual method I use is to list the new location and time of arrival, for this game, it will work differently.

For example, since the game uses sub-forums to hold location threads, if you need to move from one place to another, your departing and arrival posts should look like these two.

A post that leads to another location.


A post that comes from another location.
