I use a bit of an old format from another site. I'll give the rundown of it here. I am literally just copy/pasting from the site.

angled brackets indicate a shorthand tag, of which there are many

..... < w > = whispers

..... < m > = mutters or mumbles

..... = spoken in German

double tildes indicate someone singing or chanting

.....happy birthday to you

double colons indicate an action or non-verbal expression

.....::waves his hand to get her attention::

.....::frowns::

square brackets are used by STs to manage multiple characters

.....[Bartender] ::slides the mug across the bar::

double angled brackets indicate the use of silent communication such as telepathy

.....[François] <<::to Alexis:: Ivan has the back door covered, if they run that way let them go.>> asterisks indicate instructions, comments, and descriptions (usually by an ST)

.....* combat round 2 - declare characters’ actions in reverse order *

.....* he finds no signs of forced entry *

.....* the car spins out of control and slams into the guard rail *

parentheses indicate OOC remarks of some kind

.....(afk for 10 minutes)

.....(how tall is the fence?)

number signs indicate rules and technical game stuff such as:

.....Expenditures

.....# 2 BP to Dext #

.....# 1 WP for auto success #

.....Calling for dice rolls

.....# Charisma + Subterfuge #

.....# soak damage #

.....Announcing results of dice rolls

.....# 1 success + 2 potence = 3 #

.....# botch #

.....The use or presence of a Discipline, Merit, Flaw, Derangement, etc.

.....# activating heightened senses #

.....# command # You should “leave” now

.....# berserker merit – goes into frenzy #
