New Guy Question
Hey gang, not new to RPG’s or PbP. New to RPOL, though.
I just started a new game (and joined one other). I had a few questions about the layout / site functionality.
Posting maps, creating characters, posting in IC, and using the dice roller ... all good there.
Can someone shed some light on the numbered groups? Group Z? I gather that it’s for side threads (split party and such). Is there a way to allow folks to read along, but not post in a thread? I can definitely see a time where multiple players might want to follow the tale even if their PC is not in the scene. For stuff that is going to happen without the other players’ knowledge ... do I have to do anything special, or just place PC’s in different groups?
Also, lurkers, what is that? I had a RTJ where the forum member requested lurker access to the game. This person essentially is on a ‘standby list’ and would like to join if a player drops. Do I just add the player so he can follow along, but he creates no character? Or is there some other rpol term that this guy was referencing?
Cheers,
SB
