Realtime online campaign recruitment board?

[kyrt-ryder]

I seem to have been running into significant trouble using the 'online campaign recruitment board' looking for players for online campaigns... That happen to be in a realtime format.

Is there any way those of use using chat or gametable software could get our own recruitment board?

The recruitment forum is for all online games, but the default assumption is that they are for play-by-post games on the Paizo forums. People recruit for both real-time online games via Roll20 or some other VTT and for play-by-post games on other forums, but it's best to be very clear about what kind of game you're planning to run when it's not the usual, either by putting it in the post title ("Recruiting for Roll20 AP" or "PBEM Recruitment") or listing it in the first sentence of your recruitment post.

Even then, a lot of people get excited about the prospect of what they think is being offered ("I have a PC I've been wanting to run through Skull & Shackles forever!") and don't read clearly what is actually on offer. So you'll have politely to disabuse a few applicants anyway.

You may want to utilize Gamer Connection for this purpose, as the Online Campaigns area and it's subforums are intended for play-by-post campaigns.

Thanks for the clarification Chris, much appreciated.

As a note though, you guys should really refine the wording of the recruitment board, all it says is 'online campaigns' with no indication they are for PBP alone.
