Well most people have a sign up when they create the game in the relevant thread. There are a few games where everyone can join as well and give input like Civilization and Escape

I've requested a way to have them separate from the actual games. (Don't know if that might be a subforum or what.)

Hopefully that'll help answer your questions. ;)

Everyone can play The Music Game. Riddles is open to everyone. So are Odd Statements, Arrested Development, and Memories.

The key to finding just starting games is to notice new threads, or threads that have very vew posts. Often the title will give a clue. A couple of current titles suggest ongoing games are looking for 1 more player.

Ruined kingdom is always open for everyone to participate. As are the other games already mentioned. :)

I will say this though. If we could create a new folder within forum games for say...."forum game chats" that would be cool.

Currently someone creates a thread for a game, they post for it, find people and then make a new thread for the actual game leaving the other for chatting. If the one for chatting could have a home somewhere in a sub folder that would be nice.

Either that, or create subfolders for types of games. (not trying to go crazy with this) but you could have -> Forum Games 1.-> Everyone Can Play 2.-> the other kind

I've got a player spot available in the Island just now to replace a player who's gone AWOL. The draw will be tomorrow night (thursday), please see the following post for details:

Also, everyone can always play in Escape! if you are interested in that too (though it's been going a while and the backstory has got a bit epic!)

Okay, I don't know about any of those. I'm speaking of play-by-post D&D or the like.

Usually when someone is starting up a game (like I just did recently for Festival of Fools) usually you start a thread and put "Sign Ups Open" or something similar somewhere in the title so that people know it's currently a sign up thread. When the DM closes the sign ups, they remove it from the title and make it an OOC thread usually.

When games start up though... that's rather random and depends on when people have ideas and whatnot :)

A general recruitment thread would be very helpful.

It would definitely be, especially since there's so much going on in this forum right now. You might find there won't be quite as many new games popping up as you expect, as we're still seeing a lot of revived games appearing, but hopefully that can change (especially if we manage to get a God School thread up and running).
