==Post Formatting== '''Character Name:''' I do not insist, but do prefer players to start each IC post with their character's name on the first line above the main text of the post (preferably bolded and/or in all caps to stand out). It just makes it easier to know at a glance which character we're dealing with, even if you end up mentioning the character's name in the body of the post itself. Particularly for me as the GM having to deal with multiple characters, this helps. I don't always automatically associate player and character otherwise. When folk forget, I can go look it up, but it's so much quicker if I don't have to. And I've found it mad helpful in games where I'm a player, so it should help everyone. '''Dice Rolls:''' After you've typed up your narrative description of whatever you are doing/saying, if a dice roll is necessary it should be posted at the end and s-blocked (please do not use regular spoiler code). The sblock should include a brief player-side description of the dice roll. What dice you are using and what you are specifically attempting. And finally the dice roll itself, which should link back to your actual roll on the online dice roller. If a followup roll might be warranted (such as the case of damage after an attack) roll those dice as well and post them together. Typically, I will try to frontload GM posts with the information you need to narrate your own rolls (armor class, hit points, difficulty, etc) just to speed play and keep things moving so everyone is not waiting on me to find out what happens or wasting multiple actions where a single character could have succeeded with one for the group. ---- Note: I prefer [and will be using] [http://orokos.com/roll/466466 '''Orokos'''], but so long as I don't have to create a special login to see your linked rolls, I don't much care what roller you use. To format an sblock in the IC thread, type [sblock=Title] in brackets, then post your dice rolls and relevant text and close it with [/sblock]. An exhaustive list of RPG.net BB codes can be found [https://forum.rpg.net/misc.php?do=bbcode '''HERE''']. ---- '''Other OOC:''' Any OOC that does make it into the IC thread should find itself hidden behind the sblock code described in the '''Dice Rolls''' section above. I'd like to limit OOC content beyond dice rolls to the OOC thread, however, sometimes immediate clarity is needed, and it's easiest on everyone if that comes within the IC post itself. So, if when you are done describing your character's actions and aren't sure if his/her motive/intent is clear, go ahead and post a brief sblocked OOC note to clarify. All other OOC should go into the OOC thread. Including - perhaps especially - questions for the GM, setting clarity, etc. I am always going to post OOC responses in the OOC thread anyway, and if I get the question elsewhere I have to copy and paste between threads to give my answer context and it's just kinda a hassle.
