Advice on play by post campaigns


Play-by-Post


Hello all!

I am an experienced GM, but I have never run a play by post game before. I have never even participated in one unless you count Role playing lounges play by post.

Simply can anyone give advice about what I need to do to start a play by post campaign. How is it set up? How is it even run? HOw does it compare to running games at my house?

I am playing Skyrim today so it may be later this evening when I check in, but any advice would be appreciated.

This stickied thread is a grabbag of information collected by PbPers over several years. There have been other threads on the subject since, but they're not stickied so hard to find. If I run across one, I'll link it.

EDIT: Here's a short one.

This one starts out from a player perspective but also includes DM input.

This one's very handy.

As is this one.

Thanks for your help!


Note I edited in some more links above. Also, I'm totally favoriting my own post so I don't have to go looking for those threads again. :)
