Your Game Master (GM) will begin by posting a message on the message board telling you what's happening in the adventure. After you finish reading it, you can post a reply telling your character's actions. When the GM returns to the board at a later time they will post a reply telling you the results of your actions and any new developments in the adventure. Basically, that's it! The game just continues back and forth for the entire adventure. When it becomes necessary, the GM will let you know when it's time for you to roll the dice for your attempted actions.
Seeing the board for the first time (covered with hyperlinks) might seem intimidating, but like I said, it's also very easy. You may want to begin by clicking several links on the board until many of them appear as "visited links". (You can tell they're "visited links" because they will change to a different color.) When you return to the board next time, you will probably see some new messages have been added. Click any new messages and read them carefully. When you're finished reading, you can post a reply by using the form directly below the message.
After you finish typing your response, click the "Post Message" button and you will be returned automatically to the main board so you can see that your new message has been added. When you visit the board again later, you will probably see that the GM (or other players) have added a few replies to your message.
That's it!! The game just continues back and forth by posting replies to what the other players have said or done. If you still have questions about this process, please post a message on the OOC Board and someone will be happy to answer.
