When you're creating the introduction of your roleplay and trying to get people to join it, and key into it, it's crucial that you establish that your readers must join the roleplay. You need to make them feel invested. You need to make them care.
The feeling that someone should be left with once they finish reading your Introduction is - Wow! I need to be a part of this story and help see it to its completion!
If you didn't feel so invested in Katniss' story, would you have finished the series? If you didn't want to make sure that she and her companions made it out alright, if you didn't know her wholly and completely as the protagonist, then you'd check out right away. In a similar fashion, getting your readers to feel invested and involved with the story right from the get-go is crucial.
For example, you could write the introduction en media res, in second person: constructing a scene where the reader is running breathlessly, having escaped near-death multiple times in the last minute. Perhaps stressing external factors that are keeping the player continuing on.
Basically - getting your players to feel involved and invested in the story right away rather than hearing "Hunger Games Parody Story" and becoming bored. Hope this helps!
