Hi, I am interested in getting into pbp. I have never done it before, though I have been playing PF since it was released and 3.5 for a few months before that. I also used to LARP. If anybody is looking for someone for a pbp game or can give me some recommendations on a good place to find one. And also a general idea of how they are handled differently from regular old table top. Thank you
Welcome to the boards and to PBP
Look in the recruitment sub-forum, and apply in a game thread.
The character creation rules are in the Opening post.
it would also be wise to get to know the PBP forum standards and posting codes to format your posts.
A quick PBP standards and forum codes cheat sheet for you.

The above samples have the code used below it, just remove the '?' from the first tag in each example.
And try it out.
Spend a bit of time looking over the recruitment threads, then apply for one you like the look of. You should get a game somewhere.
PbPs are all diffrent, depending on the GM, so most of them have explenations of Character builds at the start.
Just cruise the Forums and you'll find what you want.
Check out My PBP. Recruitment will be open for a few more days.
A tip: Submit characters that are interesting and that are a different class to what a lot of other people are posting. i.e. If there are 5 Fighter submissions and no Clerics, submit a Cleric.
