Hey there! I'm an RPN native who's never made use of RPZ's Forum style of role-playing which we're now incorporating. However, I have a role-play idea and it's a bit bigger than my usual, so I'm cosidering using the Forum instead of making a Thread Roleplay.
Of course, I want to plan my roleplay - writing backstory, getting all the information ready to put up on the site. What I'm trying to figure out is how to format it, and given my nonexistant(ish) understanding of Forum roleplays, I've run into some difficulty. I don't want to do something like describe the terrain mixed in with the overview if I'm going to have a Maps section automatically provided for me to fill out, for example. That would make my work significantly increase as I re-write one section to become two.
So basically, I'm curious about the process of creating a forum role-play. Normally I'd just go to create it and check it out myself, but seeing as it's down I can't.
Beyond simple things like picking a name, tags, etc, does the process give you any particular fields you have to fill in? Or does it just give you a forum with the appropriate name/description and allow you to make threads/subforums as you please?
