PbP - How does recruitment work?


Online Campaigns General Discussion

Grand Lodge

I’ve been away from RPGs for a few years due to family and work commitments, but am in a position where I can check a message board and post multiple times per day usually. Would really like to get back into the swing of things with a play-by-post scenario (or possibly AP).

The recruitment threads I find seem to be spread out on the message boards and difficult to navigate, with most every game already in progress. What’s the best way to get one’s foot in the door?

I’ve got 4 old PFS characters ranging in level from 1-6, but am open to play just about any character.

Also this thread, especially for APs.

Additionally, availability varies during the year: the winter holidays are not a great time for beginning new adventures, as most players have precious little time to craft characters, so you'll mostly find re-recruitments. The second half of January should bring forth more fresh APs and PFS scenarios recruitments.

For me, checking almost daily for fresh threads has been the best way.

Thanks for the help, I’ve already got recruited for a scenario.

Still trying to work out the kinks, can anyone point me to a guide or something that would retract me the basics?

Specifically I’m having trouble making my character the default alias in the gameplay threads, and figuring out how to get my stats and such to show along with my avatar in posts.

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Your default character should be the one you post in Gameplay with, there should be a button next to the selection saying something like "make this character default".

For the stats, just write them after your class in the character sheet.

Oladon's extension is great for working out some kinks from the site.

Also, obligatory linking to Doomed Hero's guide, and Painlord's follow-up. Mandatory reading.

Her profile has several handy links that I do not yet have in my profile because the website goblined me after painful editing mine... not bitter...
