OOC's what is the best way to tackle/start them as a new person? (also an kinda off-topic question)

[Satoshi Kyou]

so i recently started to gain interest in being a GM myself and time and time i came up with idea's and even put one interest check up but ended up not knowing how to start one.

what i am really asking here without being directed to ooc instructions that will confuse me and overwhelm like im asking for simple advice and whats important

on another note would it be taboo to use a RP to use as a backstory/prologue/story for making a rpg (video game)?

im sorry if im just stupid and dumb for asking this

This is a good article on the subject.

A decent inventory for a standard OoC:

• Title
• Details about the plot
• Details about the setting
• Game rules (what you expect to see as GM)
• Character sheet (for players to fill in with details about their character

Maybe have a look at some OoC's in the section you're planning your game in to see what they do.

I don't think it's necessarily a taboo to use your game as a prologue story for making an actual game, but if you're planning on using anything that your players contribute, you should at the minimum double-check that your players know this and accept this, especially if you might ever profit from whatever you create in the end. You may also want to check the law on that subject.

@Jigi see... what is the most important thing i should work on? like i have seen that guide and it confused me to be honest

What part/s confused you?

There really isn't a single most important thing to work on. Some OoC's are heavily formatted and hugely detailed, while others are rather rougher around the edges. As I've said before, find an OoC in the section that you're working in and look at what they do. If you find one that you like, copy its structure but change the information so that it applies to your game.

I'm afraid that there isn't a right answer or any one way of doing it that's better than all the other ways, but, on the other hand, there's no real 'wrong' way of doing it. I've seen messy, badly-organised OoC's for hugely popular games and nobody's going to kick you off the forums because you made a messy OoC. Just look at what other people do and give it a go yourself. If it doesn't work out, you can always try again.
