Recruitment Threads!

I just got reminded of this by the Gamers exPlane video. It doesn't fulfill everything listed in this thread but I think my Wildsea recruitment thread was pretty nice. Even if the two games that started from it didn't end up getting very far.

I think I did okey with my Spelljammer tread. We got a discussion going about the game premise and what I expected of my players.

Question for the community. Should we try and put cross-links from the Game Details page to the interest check thread and vice versa? My thinking is if it's the first line in Game Details: "Players who wish to join please see the guidelines and post interest here: (link to Interest Check)" then interested players will see clear guidelines.

On a broader more, as we develop or adopt this thing forward, then it will become more and more expected/looked for.

I think this is a good idea. I don`t think links can be made clickable in Game Details but at least people can copy-paste the url.

I've updated the recruitment advice post with a thing about welcoming marginalized groups, added some images to make it look spiffier, and added some more example games: https://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/21243/?p=978912#p978912

Yeah even without being able to make a link it would be a bonus, especially for new players who sometimes just apply for random games.

I have added this advice to the guide.

I always add that link on the details page but it would be neat if it could be clickable. And maybe even in a dedicated field for it

If you're quoting from my Flood game, that may be a better example to link at the bottom than the Wildsea one

Sounds good, I've put both in. They are both great examples. And I typed your name correctly even this time.

With The ability to link to Game description I wonder if this is due for some type of update, I'm not sure exactly what it would look like maybe just mentioning the possibility and moving on just thought I'd bring it up.

Good thought. Definitely an update

Since I haven't made a recruiting post since that feature was implemented, I don't know enough about how it works to update. I'm sure it's not that hard and I'll look into it when there is time. Thanks for the idea.
