Hello! I'm a new DM, recently got myself a couple of source books and adventures, got a subscription to enable content sharing and now I want to start my first PBP campaing, I did search thru the PBP Forum but I did not find answers I was looking for. I've created the campaing, my friends are creating the characters they will use, once the main Thread is created on the right subforum, how to run the encounters in the thread so that they can see who's turn is next and so on, I now they won't be able to modify/interact with the encounter since it is for tracking purposes, but do they will have access to see the information on how many monsters, Summary/short description ^.-?
If it can't be used the way I though, theres no problem I can just post the list of monsters they are fighting and such on the tread, but wanted to know if maybe the encounter tool could be used on the forum.

I have a play by post game that is currently in an encounter, if you would like an example of how *I* do it, keeping in mind that my players are facing homebrew monsters that they don't know the statblocks for (let alone the names of yet). Mountain Mysteries, current encounter

Are you playing virtually or in person?
...virtually. because that's what PBP is. Play by post.
