Where to post?

[lord pringle]

I want to make a Play-by-Post war game in the style of Erfworld but I'm not sure whether to post in structured games or finding players/ongoing games.

If it has no players, in Finding Players. If you have all your players, in On-Going games.

I'm more curious of whether to put it in finding players or strucred games

Are you using established rules or is it freeform.

I believe that's the difference between the two.

[lord pringle]

established rules, but I created them. So which one?

Play by Post I'd say. You're using a specificed ruleset (not the right term methinks) rather than it being more freeform. Unless you have a specific reason for wanting to post it in SG, I reckon go with PbB.

[lord pringle]

thank you.

Unless you have a specific reason for wanting to post it in SG, I reckon go with PbB.That's not really what he's asking, if I understand the question right. The Werewolf games that populate the Structured Games subforum have a codified ruleset (though it changes from game to game and even from iteration to iteration of the same game sometimes). And they have a signup so it's not unrestricted participation like Free Form Role Play is, so that's not a deciding factor either. That's what makes them Structured.

lord pringle, are you looking for a few people to play in a structured role play, like you would at a table top? Or are you talking about a larger structured game, possibly involving dozens of players? I could see it going either way, based on your description.

Is there roleplay or not? In Structured, roleplay is encouraged, but rarely required. In pbp, roleplay is the entire point.
