Topic Posting Guidelines (Read this before Posting)

To better help you quickly find what you are looking for, here are a few guidelines to following with your Topic Title.

##For all Cases of Looking

  • Include brackets ("[" & “]”) and the beginning of your Title with any of the variations below.
  • Try to keep the number first so it is more quickly seen be those looking
  • When you are no longer looking, or spots have been filled, change your Topic to say [Closed]
  • This will help stop people from looking at and posting in topics that won’t benefit them

##Single Individual Looking

  • For most cases the following works: [1 Player LFG]
  • In your post, make sure to include the following:
  • Your Timezone
  • Languages you are comfortable speaking (or typing)
  • Playing formats you are willing to use (Roll20, Discord, Forum posting, Voice, Video, etc)
  • Days & Times you are available to play
    • It is best to include a range of times, such as I can start as early as ____ and go as late as _____
    • This will greatly increase your chances of finding a group
  • Your playing experience (both with TTRPG as well as Open Legend itself)
    • This isn’t as needed, but might be something people will end up asking you anyways

##GM/DM/Referee/Group Seeking a Number of Players

  • Include basic information in the Title such as the number you are looking,a nd keep it updated as it is filled up:
  • [0/2 LFM] (LFM = Looking for Members)
  • [0/3 Roll20 LFM]
  • [2/5 Discord LFM]
  • Feel free to include something eyecatching afterwards, perhaps mentioning Genre
  • Make sure to include lots of information for seekers to see in the post:
  • Main Language for the campaign that is expected
    • You can include other languages that players speak, but this isn’t needed
  • Day(s) and the Time the game will be played on
    • If the Time is flexible, for example if the group is still forming, then include ranges as per the Individual example above
  • The format you expect the game to be played with (on Roll20, through Discord, using Voice and/or Video, etc)
  • Details about the campaign world
    • Genre
    • Tech levels
    • Starting level for Characters
    • Any special limitations or inclusions
    • Any other relevant information Players should know before thinking of joining
    • Your experience level (not as needed, but some might be curious)

##Tips to help with your posts
## is what I used for each of the titles above. This is like a sub header, but I like it because it is not as big as just one #

** is for bolding, but must be both before and after the text you want to bold with no spaces.
* is for italic, and is the same as bolding above
* Point 1 is for making a list, so place a * with a space
 * Sub Point 1 is for making an indented sub list, you should have a space before and after the *
    * Sub-sub point 1 is for making a third indented nested list. That’s 4 spaces before
