Hi, I am new to GP and I need help on one of my D&D campaigns I am writing. Where should I post to get help for that at, and what are the steps to do that? Thank you!

If you want mechanical help ("How do I balance these encounters so the party doesn't die unexpectedly?"), post in the sub forum for the game system you are using (e.g. if you are making a 5th edition campaign post it in the "D&D 5e/Next" forum under the "Roleplaying Games" forum.) If you want story advice, post in the "Roleplaying Games" forum. If you are trying to make classes or monsters for your campaign, put that in the "Homebrew Design" forum.Quote:

Edit: as for the steps involved, hit the "New Thread" button and write up what you want help with. Be specific and complete (e.g. "I am trying to run a game in D&D 3.5e. My players are playing a bard, a barbarian, a druid, and a hexblade. They want to have a grand rollicking adventure, but I am not sure where to start. Help!") There might be DM help threads already, so take a minute to check for them.
Further to Rockphed's excellent advice, if you wanted verisimilitude advice (eg how did this weapon/armour work in reality? How far apart should I put my villages? etc), the Roleplaying Games main forum is a good place.
I would have suggested the Real World Weapons, Armour and Tactics thread, but that's still closed for review.
Edit: Thread is now back up: link.
Wow, so helpful with some useful tips. Many thanks, I shall follow your instructions.
