Hey, I'm new to the Haven, so thought I'd pop in and introduce myslef.
Also, are there any guidelines, like for starting games, playing, etc?
We summoned a devil once. All we used was the D&D books, too. It was pretty kwazy.

You are not a moral man. There are not enough middle fingers in the world for you.
Actually, Santa just didn't like you. However, you weren't on the Naughty List, so he had to give you something "better" than coal.
I'd take coal. Heating your house is expesive, and engery cost arn't going down.
Mabey if i beat enough homeless people, i won't have to be cold this year. 
"Heroes"...I wish I had those. I remember in my first-ever campaign one PC went around shootin all the unconscious baddies in the head to gain Dark Side Points...
Whaaaaaat?!??
Wow...way to waste perfectly good potential slaves.
Er...no wait I mean..uh...something not evil!
(Quotes screwed up on the next one, won't give the poster's name. It's in the Best Lines thread on the D&D forum)
First, an experience from a game I played in a few years back. Our DM didn't like 3.5 as a whole but liked parts of it. So he hands us a big ass rules packet for his modified FR campaign, complete with quotes from important NPC's on the front. I can't remember most of the HRs, just that some how gods like Cyric and Bhaal existed at the same time, despite the obvious problems there. In the end the game became a problem more because of the railroading than the HRs, but it ended with this classic line, after our ranger tried to disarm the strange woman following us WITH HIS BOW: DM: You just killed (insert random noble sounding name here) JP: Was she important? Jack: Dude, she's quoted on the front of the rules packet!

Whey is a crotch.
Cut the last encounter on your way out after dealing with the Darth. He's the BBEG. Treat him as such. Play up that Darth Revan is THAT much of a badarse. When the shuttle landed, I had no less than 13 JEDI MASTERS step off the shuttle. The PCs were slack-jawed. After the meetup with Bastila (as she's carrying Revan's body), only TWO jedi masters remained with her. Let me tell you, the player whining about not getting to fight Revan himself shut up pretty quickly when he saw that. 
There's so much you can do with insanity, especially when it has alot of resources.
1. Cleric cast protection from fire on Tank.
2. Tank goes in and get surrounded by enemies.
3. Wizard cast fireball and blows them up.
4. ???
5. Profit
I go by the saying," If it ain't friendly fire then it's not working."

Welcome!
As far as I know, there aren't any "set in stone" rules, but here are a few guidelines:
1) If you want to play in a game, check the Recruitment Forum often. That's where new games get suggested and GMs look for players.
2) If you want to GM a game, you would also go to the Recruitment Forum. Make a new post detailing what kind of game you want to run (D&D, World of Darkness, etc.) including which edition. In the opening post, give a basic outline of what you're looking for: number of players, what level, what setting, any restrictions or houserules, and a brief synpsis of your campaign. Make sure you include the pertinent info in the thread's title, such as: "(D&D 4E) Level 3 Campaign", or "(D&D 4E) Horror on the Mountain Recruiting Thread", or something along those lines. Then, you just wait for players to come along.
3) Once you get enough players, you can go to the Play By Post Games forum and start your OOC and IC threads. After that, it's on you and your players.
Hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
In fond memory of Mark "Wrecan" Monack.

Hocus_Smocus has the right of it. No set in stone guidelines and all paths lead to the recruitment forum.
