My regular group have moved away. I miss playing pathfinder, and am looking for a place to continue my enjoyment of the rpg experience.
I've come across this play-by-post concept and I'm interested in giving it a try. As I look at other pbp threads, I see rolls and info in different text and style than what the player posts. Is there some sort of download that is needed before I try to join a game?
How do gm's get player's character info (sheet)? Are they typically e-mailed? Posted on board?
There are a lot of "show/hide" buttons.
Can someone tell me what I need to know or do, to prepare myself with the vocabulary or basics, for pbp games?
Thank you in advance to those who will help me get back into pathfinder via a totally new media!

Mechanical information on rolling dice and creating spoilers (the "show/hide" buttons you see) can be found underneath the text box where you add new posts. Just click on the Show button after "How to format your text."
Character sheets are generally maintained under your character alias. You can create a new alias from the My Account tab at the top right of the page.
