Myth-Weavers Help & Guides

Welcome to the documentation for Myth-Weavers, the play-by-post tabletop RPG community. Whether you're brand new, returning from the old site, or running a long-form campaign, the guides below are set up to cover everything you need to know.

Start here

• Site Rules — Community Standards, Global Rules, posting guidelines, and how moderation and appeals work. Everyone is expected to have read these.
• Welcome to Myth-Weavers — New to the site? Start here with a five-minute quick-start covering registration, profile, finding a game, posting, and notifications.
• Welcome Back from Baldr — Returning from the previous platform? Account recovery, what carried over, what's new, and what's different.

Getting started

• Creating Your Account & Setting Up Your Profile — Register, pick an avatar, write your About Me, and choose your preferred editor mode.

Playing in a game

• Forums, Topics, and Posting — Forum hierarchy, creating topics, IC and OOC posts, whispers and private blocks, posting as a character, and tracking your reading progress.

• The Post Editor — The Rich Text, Markdown, and HTML editors; character templates, @mentions, image uploads, spoilers, fieldsets, and more. This is how to make everything fancy.

• Dice Rolling — Rolling dice, controlling visibility (public, GM-only, blind), claiming pending rolls into posts, and reviewing roll history.
