Hi everyone, I am a total Noob to Play by post campaigns. I have moved to another state and all my players still want to play in my new campaign. Is there a play by post for dummies that I could check out or does anyone have any tips on how to start this up. I would love to run a campaign with all my old friends, I just have no clue as to how to do this.
Thanks for the help.

Honestly it's really a learn as you go type of thing.
For helpful hints on how to code stuff look at the tab at the bottom of your screen. Other than that.
bolded text is usually speech
italicizes is usually thoughts
and using the board roller is helpful
Other than that I would recommend describing everything in like Tolkien detail. All people have their own styles. Try reading a couple and see how others have done it.
And if you're going to read through a few games to get a feel for how to do it well, target ones that have a high post count... generally that's a good indicator that the DM and players are engaged and successfully rocking along well.
