Hello everyone, WeaveWarden here, seeking wisdom (or at least commentary) from the prodigious gaming community here at the Playground.
More specifically, I'm working on making a Guide to GMing Play-By-Post games (http://www.treasuretables.org/wiki/index.php?title=Play-by-Post_Guide) over at the TreasureTables GMing wiki, and I'd appreciate your thoughts, corrections, advice, and jabs on the matter. Pretty much the idea is to compile good PbP techniques and ideas into a few clear articles so that it's easy for people to get involved in play-by-post and roleplaying in general.
Though I'm a long-time player, lurker, and GM at a variety of PbP sites (currently a staffer at Myth-Weavers (http://www.myth-weavers.com) as well), I thought I'd turn to you guys to expand the advice I've put together so far and add a variety of perspectives. I figure that if I can get gather enough solid opinions and good ideas on PbP into a few helpful articles, it'll make it easier to spread good GMing skills to new GMs and encourage people to get involved in play-by-post in general.
Well, if you're interested in helping out, feel free to jump right in and start adding your ideas (registration at the wiki is free and harmless), or you can post your thoughts on how to be a good PbP GM here and I'll do my best to incorporate them as I go.
Thanks!
