Template for Game Listings

This is designed to make everyone's life easier, both GM's and players. When posting a game listing that needs players, please use this template.

FG License: What license do the players need to play in your game. Verbage may change over time. i.e. GM has Full so players need at least Lite, or Free or whatever it is.
Game System: i.e. Pathfinder, D&D 4E, etc.

Time Zone: i.e. Central Time USA, etc.
Day of week and time: i.e. Tuesdays or Fridays starting at 8 pm, etc.
If new game, planned start date:
Planned Duration & Frequency: i.e. 2 Hour session, 5 Hour Session, etc. & i.e. Weekly, every other week, once a month, etc.
Term: i.e. Long term keep playing for a while, or Working through a module and will be done as a group when that is over, etc.

Text or Voice: i.e. Text ONLY, Voice preferred, Mix of both ok, etc.
Main Language used: i.e. English, German, etc. spoken or written, just which language will you run the game in
Voice software used: i.e. Discord, Skype, Teamspeak, Google Hangout, etc.
Will this be recorded and/or live streamed? i.e. podcast, Twitch, Youtube, etc. If so, do you want webcam video from players or not? Other details, etc.


Roleplay & Combat mix: i.e. 50/50, 25/75 Heavy Combat, No Combat, etc.
Number of Players in game & needed: i.e. Have 2 players, need 3 more, etc.
Character starting level & equipment: i.e. 2nd level with 1 magic item under 4k, etc.
Character restrictions: i.e. Only core races and classes, or non-Magic world, etc.

Details of your scenario: i.e. Your sales pitch to players, what is your world like, what will they be doing, etc. As much or as little detail as you want to give away here.
**Also in here*** What do you expect from players as a GM? What do you not want? rules lawyers, combat monsters, min/max, etc. Any warnings or disclaimers you feel will help attract the right players and weed out the ones that you feel will not fit or be fun in this game.



Following a suggestion from my Player LFG template, here is some Title suggestions and a blank Template to copy and paste.
Title Example:
LFP Need 3 Players Wed Night 6PM EST USA 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen
LFP = Looking for Players, lets people know this before clicking
Say how many players you need.
Say what day & time is the game.
Say what system & module or homebrew maybe even what level players start at.

Once again, I really hope this helps you find players for your game and that you can enjoy this great hobby of Role Playing online via Fantasy Grounds.

I think this is a great idea :) .. only thing I would add is the GM's opinion on rules lawyers and/or power gamers and/or "combat monsters" who are more interested in hack and slash than the finer points of role playing - sometimes it's best to get that sorted out in advance to prevent misunderstandings between the GM and players as to what is expected in the campaign :P .. The clarification of text and/or voice is in my humble opinion particularly outstanding :) .. perhaps with a warning if it's all text " Slow typists may not be able to keep up ! " (this has happened to me as a GM before even when the players are using voice chat for out of character type stuff and I've insisted on everything in-character being typed as I tend to do ...)

Good work - I hope this gets pinned somewhere folks can be reminded to use it... I would!

Something like the GM's opinion on rules lawyers, etc. I think might be tough to put on one line and should be part of the details of the scenario where the GM can be a bit more free form and go into those details. I will edit it to make it more clear on that bit.

One thing I always include and look for in these kind of posts is how the gaming table and the GM place themselves on the GNS theory.

It doesn't answer everything, but it's a pretty good start.

It sounds good, hope it will get better and better!

Just a suggestion - for players looking for DM, perhaps "LFDM" would be better - easier to separate the two.

What you offer, it is very useful.

Thank you

Somewhere in the time/frequency should also be an expected duration. Just because something starts at 9pm doesn't mean someone who usually goes to bed a midnight is available if the GM is expecting to play for 6 hours, rather than 3.

Good idea!

I will be using this, but adding a section called Player requirements - to separate restrictions on characters, and what kind of players I am looking for

It would be nice to get a "2e/Classic" option in the Game Calendar now that we have the very awesome ruleset officially available.

Wrong thread, post deleted

I'd suggest adding Language to the list of things to post. Yes, most of us speak English. (Heck, I probably would say that most of us only speak English.) But if a player or GM speaks a different language, it might be a useful bit of information for the posts.

Can do

FG License: i.e. GM has Full so players need at least Lite, etc.

Doesn't say MUST have Full license.

Not sure what you mean. This part of the template is where the DM indicates what type of license they have, so that players know what they need (If the DM has a Standard license then the players will also need a Standard license; if the DM has an Ultimate license players will only need the demo). So it isn't somthing which indicates that the DM must have something; it's just an indication to the player what they need.

Perhaps, the intent is to point out that the first post in this thread (which is quoted without quoting it :) ) is using old nomenclature for the licenses? Today, the store offers either the demo free license, the standard license, or the ultimate license. So, maybe this is a request to update the first post to use these names instead of "Full" and "Lite"?
