 		 For a potential ARG to start...
...what do I need? Me and my friend are going to do a small, homebrew ARG for our friends, but we have no idea what to prepare. I'm hoping I can pull this off

So far, we have a fake cell number wired to my phone. We also have access to a place where we can start a site...should we prepare anything else? How would we alert the players as to the ARG?

 		Have you played many ARGs? How much have your read about running ARGs here in the Puppetmaster forum?

What tools you need depends alot on your story, your puzzles, and what you want your players to see & do.

If you want more help I think we need more information.

[ARG 101] this is normal called a rabbit hole. It tells player about the game. an idea if your just doing with friends is to print of little bits of paper and live them around where ever you hang out. This have the first clues on witch can be any thing a E-mail,website, phone number or some thing more complex. it just to hook in the players at this point.

'Bob is missing Question
If found Ring Exclamation
555-344-BOB' Shocked

OK this is a bit of rip of anther game but gives you the idea of how to hook in players. from the phone the players gets seat to the web site. And so on.

the more you have the more complex and full the world you make will look. but i think you need two web sites as there are normal two sides.
Heroes: in this case the people who what to free bob and left the bits of paper around.
Antagonist: And the people how locked bob up in basement to help with there evil plan? Twisted Evil
Each of this can have a web site with clues to bob whereabouts.
