Chapter 7 : Playing In The Community

Submitted by Rotku on Fri, 05/22/2009 - 04:28

A nice short chapter, just giving a bit of detail about how you can get the most out of the Community, whether that be participating in discussions, a nice social chat, or helping out keeping the place running.

Volunteering to DM in ALFA
In ALFA, we are always looking for more DMs.  In a world like ALFA, DMs are not something that there can ever be enough of. If you've got a talent for telling a story, or if you've ever wanted to try out those hundred and one characters that you have brewing in your head, or maybe you've just always wanted to see a certain plot run - well then DMing is for you!
 
If you’ve never DMed before, do not fear! There are many people who are more than happy to help you find your feet in the
DM Client and answer whatever questions you may have. Simply jump along to the DM Application form, quickly throw a few answers down, and you're done!  If you've got any questions, contact the current DM Administrator.
 
The Forums
If you want to find some players in your time zone, to contact a DM, or just have something you wish to communicate to people, the Forums are always a good starting point.  Logging in with your website account, you will see a range of different on-going discussions which anyone is always welcome to join in on.
 
Chat
ALFA has its very own IRC channel, based on the Sorcery.net server.  You can either click on the link on the left hand side of the site, or use your own Client (such as mIRC).  The channels you will want to know about are:
  • #alfa - social channel
  • #alandfaraway - a good place to go to for any general questions
  • #alfa-003 - The Silver Marches channel
  • #alfa-bg - The Baldur's Gate channel
