I am a newbie when it comes to play by post? How to begin? Which thread should I look into first? What is IC or OOC? How to roll die? How to create characters? What determine their stats/attributes? Is there any book I need to buy? Any other information I need to know?
On the Discord PBP that I play, there are separate channels for out of character (OOC) and in-character (IC) actions. For example, I may ask the DM if I can lift a box with mage hand OOC since I don't know how big the box is or how much it weighs. If the DM says I can lift it, then I narrate what I do with mage hand IC. You can see how it works on our Discord channel, where we break it out into Narration (IC), chat-at-the-table (OOC, but game-related), and basement (OOC, not game related topics). If you'd like to watch our group play, here's an invite link: https://discord.gg/xXPF6J4uux
How to know when you are required to roll a die or not in role-play? I read the dungeon and dragon's guide and discovered sometimes you need to roll dies. Besides during combat, how do you know when you are required to roll a die or not?
Another question, how do you know what to add to the attack? For instance, some posts I read add 2 or 3 or even 4 attack points to the dice roll. It is not consistent. Some players add 2, some 3, some 4. How do you know how to determine what points to add to your initial dice roll?
