Since the board took off we've seen a great deal of different games being played. Many of you are aspiring to host you own game one day but the task might seem daunting, so here is a collection of resources aimed at you. Everyone is welcome to add their own resource or give their own tips, and I will gladly add it to the sticky!
Getting Stared So you have this amazing idea that would make for an insanely fun and sexy game but don't know where to start. The first thing you should do is to get it down on paper, it might be tempting not to start writing or scribbling down your ideas before you thought it all through but this will a lot of the time lead to you forgetting half of it. You can always go back and edit or change anything later, as long as you get it down on paper.
tl;dr
Don't hesitate, get it down on paper before you forget it. The second thing you need to do is get some kind of software to use. Here is a few useful tips of what you can use.
1.
Microsoft Word Most of you already have the office package and word is naturally great for any kind of writing.
2.
Open Office Open office functions as a free alternative to word and can be downloaded here:

3.
Google Docs Google provides an online text editor and storage bank for your writing. It comes with a number of useful plug-ins for any writer and makes it easy to share with other users. Also you can access your bank from any computer and it's free. It can be found here:
http://www.google.com/docs/about/ Next let's talk about your work environment. I would recommend that you close skype, facebook and steam if you want to be able to focus. Taking to many brief pauses to reply to messages from your friends will make it hard for you to keep the writing flowing. When it comes to other distractions music can be a big one. Sometime's it can make for great background noise to blot out any other distractions and sometimes it's just in the way. If you do like to listen to music while writing here are some tips:
1.
The Phantom Music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShI_fv38qYQ 2.
Ave Maria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQVz6vuNq7s 3.
Six Hour Classical Music Playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYwqKKc1VCQ 4.
Revenge of the Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaWC_7NcfRA Are you stuck with a particular sentence or do you find yourself using the same words or sentences over and over again? Here is a collection of useful websites dealing with the issue.
1.
Google Translate https://www.google.se/search?q=google+translate&rlz=1C1KMZB_enSE578SE578&oq=google+t&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i60l4j69i57.931j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 Google translate is always useful when you're stuck, especially if English is not your first language.
2.
The Free Dictionary http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ Not sure what some word means or how it is defined but you want to use it? Then this is perfect for you.
3.
The Saurus http://www.thesaurus.com/ Probably the most useful tool of all the above. Type in any word in English and it will give you a collection of synonyms, helping you spice up your writing and make it interesting.
4.
The Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/ If you are writing lots of dialogue then this is a great link for you. The use of slang can make your characters come alive.
Running the Game The story is done, you've gone over it at least a dozen times and you're ready to start playing but you're not quite sure how it works yet.
To begin with you need a good collection of erotic imagery that goes somewhat well with your story but you have no idea where to find it. Check these links out to start building your own collection of smutty images!

Have your players gotten you stuck between options, voting equally for two alternatives?
Tell them to make a tie-breaker roll where 1-50 is option A and 51-100 is option B or something similar.
This sticky will be continuously updated with your feedback. Thank you! Post last edited at 03/16/15 (Mon) 16:52:59
