Never used RP forum before, but here goes nothing

Hey! I'm Zach, I've played some tabletop RPGs before like Pathfinder and BESM but I have no idea what to do with an outlet such as this. Most of my characters are originals that I like making and messing around with, I have about 10 on the back-burner for Pathfinder at least... I was hoping maybe you people could help me get situated to this new concept and maybe throw out some suggestions for beginner stuff, thanks!

There should be a PM for your PM box if ya haven't gone through it already. Another good source of info is this one.

Throw any questions out here if ya need more info :)

@zackattack279 Are there any other kinds of roleplays you've done? I know before I came here I was doing one-liners on a site called ROBLOX. Thank god those days are behind me.

@zackattack279 Welcome to the forum. There is a guide in the Tutorials section that will probably help you a bit to get a jump start and there are plenty of Rp's out there to cater to what you are used to in the past. If you want a bit of a hand getting started feel free to pm me or drop by my Duplicity RP - Dnd Based - it might give you a little bit of an idea. Anywho, once again, Welcome.

Hey Zach!

Welcome to RPG. If you are looking for (only) tabletop RPG's styled roleplays, here's where you should look. Tabletop roleplay. I'm not an expert on tabletop (I'm not an expert at anything) but I'm sure you could find what you need there.

Otherwise, you should probably look around the boards a bit, find something that suits you both in the subject matter as well as post length and such, and find something you might like. I can guarantee that most GM's don't care if you are new to the guild, since writing is something dictated by skill and motivation and not post counts.

I wish you the best of luck and for any questions feel free to PM me (or any of the others that offered in this thread!)

@zackattack279Hey, cool to have you. If you're having trouble navigating the site, I made this little guide earlier for someone else.

But really, I'd love to help. Let's see... This site is pretty straight forward (and I think you'll enjoy it). There's 3 kinds of main group RP's.
Free, which is kind of the E for Easy going RP's. Casual, which has a fair amount of writing but not strict. And Advanced, which has a good amount of writing and for people who have been writing/role playing for awhile. Then there are the Nation RP's which have you making continents and governments and countries to RP with in a storytelling/strategy mixture. And there is 1x1 if you just want you and a partner. And then there is the Tabletop like regular D&D, and finally the Arena for combat RP's.

Ok, if you want to join/make an RP. Here is usually the layout. The "Interest Checks" are for people to post their RP ideas. Then when they have a fair amount of players, they create the threads that are located up in Free, Casual, Advanced, etc. Those threads are split up into IC (in character, for actual RP postins), OOC (out of character, to discuss ideas and say you are interested in joining) and CS (character sheets, where you post finished characters).

Also listen to Lady A. She's quite knowledgeable. Hope you enjoy your stay!
