Useful Things

So these are some useful resources that I myself use quite a bit or find illuminating. Of particular note, the resources on how to optimize your PbP experience are certainly relevant to this campaign. If anyone has any recommendations or additions to list, please let me know!

Rules Resources:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com
Your bog standard almost-all-inclusive, find what you want if you know what your looking for website. Great catalog of stuff, though setting specific material can be hard to hunt down as they rename it when they include it. Formatting leaves a bit to be desired. Does include a fair bit of third party material, which can be tricky if your not allowed to use such.

Amazing layout and depth of detail, each published Paizo book is methodically hand-added to the website. Really robust search function as well. Its something of a one-man show though so its not as quick to include new material as the SRD, but if your not quite sure what you want and are interested in seeing what is available, this is a much better resource.

Roleplaying Conventions:

Some of this advice is specific to the Paizo forums so isn't applicable here, but much of it is more broadly useful for writing PbP in general and better than just telling you what to do and not to do, he explains why certain things are worth doing or worth avoiding at all costs.

A follow up to the previous post, it expands on what is already established and is almost all applicable broadly as opposed to specifically.

Where can I find...:

Pathfinder specific, but an attempt to gather all the gathering of information in a central location so you can find it if your looking for it. Very handy if you want to get a grip on a class that you have no idea about. Pathfinder is getting a bit gray though, so some of the links have died or become obsolete. Everything is dated, so just take with several grains of salt anything that is more than a few years old.
