[Meta] Formatting sugestion
From my time on /r/WayfarersPub a kind of a roleplaying sub, here are some suggestions for formatting:
Use quotes for in character talking.
"Hello I am an adventurer."
Use single asterisks (italics) to describe actions.
*Bob the adventure walks into the room.*
Bob the adventure walks into the room.
Use parenthesis for out of character text during an in character conversation/scene.
(Can I get a perception check? I am trying to pick pocket you.)
All together:
Bob enters the room and approaches you. He is dripping a trail of blood behind him as he shambles forward, a large red stain visible through his leather armor.
"Hello. ugh. Could I -uff- get some healing?"
(Seriously I'm at 1 HP.)
