HELLO FRIENDS
Greetings Sun-dwellers
Hello
Learn how to format your text by clicking the "SHOW" button below that is next to the text "How to format your text"... here's some examples:
It's important that when your character says something out loud, like,
I look good today, don't I, my unfortunately ugly friends?
that the text be bolded using the [ b ] format.
The way I made that text bold is I started with a [ b ] now I am talking out loud [ / b ] and now I'm not. I added spaces to those "b" tags to demonstrate what you actually type. Put those formatting codes before and after the text you want to make specially formatted. Click the preview button to see if your formatting is working.
If you want to talk in your head, and say something like,
I hope they agree, or I'll just cry myself to sleep tonight!
it should be in italics using the [ i ] format.
Also, notice the liberal use of line breaks above. It makes the narrative and dialogue easier to read and see. Add line breaks when you want to make things crystal clear for us.
Use the [ ooc ] format to tell the GM or other players something out-of-character (ooc), like
... but even better than that, have your character say it!
Being is breathing heavily and glances at the "helper" cleric and gasps troll.. killing Bengo... must... needs... heals...
When you need to roll dice, use the [ dice ] format and the forum will actually roll your dice for you.
success, I can know!
Don't forget to read these 2 guides on how best to do Play-by-Post (PbP)! The first post on each thread is the most important.

Jasper's first post was a good example of the push and the hook described in Painlord's guide. Jenna did a great hook as well. Great job both of you!
