Hi everyone! I'm a random guy brought here by Google while searching for ways to role play online. I should say in advance that English isn't my native tongue, so please forgive (and remind) me if I sound strange or make silly mistakes.
As you can guess from the title, role playing is something new to me. I have a very crude idea of how a game is actually played, based on some youtube videos featuring some games and other introductory articles, but I've never played a game before. Naturally I'm looking for casual games for beginners.
I don't have a strong preference for certain kind of games, but I do like fantasy. A little bit of horror (maybe something Lovecraftian) and absurdity (the Kafkaesque type) would also be nice. Darker themes with more violence and gore are totally okay. Intelligent and rational characters are usually my favourite. (Not those cliche robot-like incapable-of-love ones, but just more analytically-minded.) It's simple super fun seeing them confront supernatural phenomena.
Maybe I should also say something about myself? I'm a maths student in a local university who also took a few physics courses. Hobbies include video games, anime and read/skim through a bunch of Wikipedia articles about just anything. I also read books, sometimes light novels sometimes more 'serious' literature. Also timezone is GMT+8.
That's about it I think. If you have time, please give this noob some suggestions about where to start.
