The RPG Description represents the area by which you must give a description of your RPG. This is a very big part of your form submission and reflects your capability to run an RPG.
Structure
The Description MUST include at least TWO PARAGRAPHS, FIVE COMPLETE SENTENCES PER PARAGRAPH and accurately describe your RPG. After giving your two paragraphs, you can add additional stand-alone sentences if you like, like a concluding sentence at the very end that isn't connected to a paragraph, but gives a finishing touch for the reader. After Twilightus Management reviews it, if there's a problem, you will be sent an email about what you can do to fix it.
Content
Your description should be what you want to display on your RPG Profile page. All Twilightus Community RPGs are given a profile page where people can visit and find out what your RPG is all about. Use this as an opportunity to explain the theme, genre, storyline, unique concepts, what people can do, what makes your RPG special, background history, synopsis, main characters, and anything else you think might be interesting to outside readers. It's really all about your RPG, not you!
Perspective
Try to write your description in third-person point-of-view! Do not write it as if you were directly talking to us or from your own personal perspective. Try to write it from an objective point of view and focus in on the highlights of your new RPG. Otherwise, if your submission is in first or second-person point-of-view, it is likely to be rejected. Try to make it more about your RPG rather than about you (how you came up with the great name, where your inspiration came from, or other things like that). Make the point objective!
Tense
Make your description in present-tense, as if you already had your forum. Don't write it in future tense with a bunch of "will have"s or "will be"s. Make it applicable to the present! Write "has" instead of "will have" or "is" instead of "will be". This is another important part of your submission!
Spelling and Grammar
Be sure to use the best possible spelling and grammar when submitting your description. Remember that play-by-post role playing games, such as the one you are creating, are entirely based on text and words. Spelling, grammar, sentence fluency, sentence structure, descriptive words, and mastery of the English language are musts when building your own world. Try not to use poor spelling or grammar, phrases, run-on sentences, sentences that don't flow well, or ideas, concepts, and sentences that just don't make sense. Even use a text editor such as Microsoft Word if it helps! Take this into consideration when writing your public introduction so that visitors can appreciate your work and acknowledge that they are entering a realm of great creativity coupled with the best of English ability. This really gives a first look at how good you are at English and creative writing. Make it as neat and perfect as you possibly can!
Wrap up
Your RPG description will be proof-read, revised, and edited before being added to your RPG Profile page. You really want to try to make a good impression with Twilightus Management the first time around and show that you are indeed capable of writing two or more complete paragraphs and are educated enough to run a text-reliant role playing game. If you're not able to successfully do this, you're probably not going to be very successful in running a text-based RPG! The better quality your description is, the better Twilightus Management and others will view you and your RPG and the more your RPG will be considered as a thoroughly thought-out, well-built site.
The main points to remember when writing your description are:
- Have at least two paragraphs

- Utilize good spelling and grammar

- Keep it in present-tense
