How to make a successful game recruitment thread
I've had a look around this forum, and I think I've identified a few trends that make an interest post more likely to garner players.
Include the name of a game system in your subject.
There are a lot of posts out there with subjects like "Looking for players" and "Wanna play?" These don't pull the kind of attention that things like "New Forgotten Realms game" do.
If you're not sure what you want to run, make a poll, including all the things you're WILLING to run
I've seen several "What should I run" threads degenerate into people talking about a type of game that the perspective GM has no interest in. that's not helping anyone.
Once you've finished your poll and know what kind of game you should run, open a new interest thread.
I don't think anyone's ever done this, but it seems like the natural extension of the first piece of advice. Instead of continuing the conversation about the game you've decided to run in your poll, start a new thread, with a subject which will draw people who didn't participate in your poll.
Anyone have other ideas?
