Nervous Greetings

Hello. My buddy suggested we try gaming together through this forum, but he bailed on me. Adult life stuff. I'm still interested though, this place seems really lively compared to other forums I've joined in the past. I used to PbP roleplay on wikis back in 2000, and did freeform RP on several forums in 2012-13. My last PbP was earlier this year, DMing D&D 5e on D&D Wiki, where I'm an admin called Kydo. (Being an admin there just means they trust you not to ruin stuff, it doesn't have any fancy responsibilities or anything. I'm on vacation from that community; they have a bad rep and it's hard trying to constantly promote the good in it.)

Anyways, as far as games go, I've recently been interested in seeing if Polaris (the one about knights and ice and demons, not the one about an aquatic postapocalypse) can be converted for forum play.

I was also considering running a roleplay using The Resistance as the rule system, but having players flesh out game events with detailed narration like a full RPG. roleplayerguild.com/topics/168567-the…

If anyone is interested in giving that a shot, or has a better suggestion, I'm all ears!

Quite a resume

Hi I'm Rumi not an official greeter but none the less a strange local dropping by to say welcome to our little corner of madness...well at least mine

Lot of people around here and it never hurts if you see an active member if you PM them with a question in the threads they are in if the group is looking for new members. The worst i hope they'd do is refer to someone who will help

Rumi is right. Many of us are friendly, and many many are weird. We got tabletop shit too if you want something other than a classical text RP as well.

Greetings Stranger,

* * * * * * * *

I’m not surprised to see your kind here. Many adventurers have traveled this way since the recent troubles had passed. No doubt you’ve heard about the tragedy that befell the community here at the Guild. Some say that the Guildfall, bane of role players, is slowly enveloping the community once again. I don’t know if I believe that, but I have noticed from time to time that posts or players will mysteriously disappear. They disappear without word and without notice, hidden by the leaders of our community. Maybe it’s nothing. But rumors and sideways glances seems to trail in their wake. You see, shortly before Guildfall had occurred similar disappearances were common as well and strange rumor began to ravage even the most common parts of the guild. But until more evidence is uncovered I’ll remain here within this community and so should you. You’ll find interesting role play ideas across all the various topics categories here on the Guild and a few of mine or ones that I participate in as well. However, I would make sure you save your own information before the shadow that fell over the Guild before the fall once again consumes us all. But if you’re still alive before then, I’ll be more than happy to accommodate any role playing needs you may have if I can.

You should talk to some of the others, too. Guildmod has sent you a PM package to add with your new arrival and there are any number of veterans who are more than qualified to answer your questions. Maybe they can tell you more.

Belay the many nerds above, for they only wish to take your soul. I can hold it for safekeeping so they do not suck the very life from your bones.

Welcome :)

Welcome.

@ELGainsborough, I think the enemy you speak of is called "time". Before the mistake, there was no sun with its gaudy colors, only the stars would mark the slow passage of the ages. Now the mistaken rise, the ice melts, and eons give way to days. But there are still those who hear the song...
