Welcome to RPG! If you have any questions about this forum, feel free to ask. As for tips, I just recommend checking the relevant RP sections for what you're interested in rather than using the search function up top. The search works don't get me wrong, it just takes some getting used to and it doesn't sort by most recent so you might end up seeing posts or RP from years ago.

Are you more interested in group RPs or 1-on-1 RPs?
