Ok so now that I've set up what play by post is let's talk about what you can gain from it...
I'm going to be giving out 50 xp a week to anyone that can make just 3 posts a week. That's right 3 posts a week. Which means that if you were to post the minimum each week you could get an extra 100 xp before we even start the session. Nice right?
Well here are a few rules.
1. No Godmoding
-Godmoding is using out of character OR future In character knowledge to your advantage. You have to play as if you knew nothing about the game as we know it.
2. No One Liners
-Posting one line is not a post...you must at least type 2 PARAGRAPHS worth of material. It's really not hard trust me. If you put internal dialogue, senses, facial expressions, actions, and the like you'll probly have more than enough to get 2 paragraphs.
3. Decent Writing
-I'm horrible with spelling...I don't expect you to be fantastic with it or grammar but if you read through it and are bored...I will be too so fix it.
4. Have Fun
-This shouldn't be a task. Write something that your character would do in the world. This is a chance for you to show off your character's personality. And don't just react to what I lay before you. Be willing to take the lead and act as your PC would act.
Here is a run down of bonus xp that I'd be willing to give.
Base: 3 posts per week Reward: 50xp per week
Bonus 1: Uber creativity Reward: 10 xp per post deemed uber creative
Bonus 2: Clever actions Reward: 5xp per clever action
Bonus 3: Characterization Reward: 5xp per post where I see an interesting side of your character.
Also I'll give bonuses to those willing to help create part of the world. Even if it's as small as an organization or guild. This will be determined on a case by case basis.
Let me know what you think about this.
