My introduction thread.

Um... Hi. How are you? What's your favorite color?

My favorite color is being new to roleplay. I'm that, er...

[Todd Howard]

My favorite color is welcoming new people to RoleplayerGuild.

[Brisk]

What a gentleman. Er... Gentlehuman. Er... Gentle.

[ArenaSnow]

Welcome :)

My favorite color is that silvery wispy color, you know, the kind that souls have? Not that I want your soul or anything. No, I would have no use for such delic... intangible things.

[Brisk]

Mildly terrifying. er...

I just realized I've been typing my pauses in sentences. I'm kind of socially awkward and it's such a habit and... wow.

[Todd Howard]

@ArenaSnow

bro we have to talk about your soul devouring habit.

[Brisk]

Terrifying habits aside, I do have a question.

Do I gotta do something crazy to start roleplaying around here? In the sense of... er... I don't know. Is there some sign up I have to do?

[Nixxen]

Hello and welcome to the guild! I may not be the best person to answer this as it's been a while since I've bunked down and started roleplay back here, but typically a roleplay will start with an interest check to gauge... well... interest and recruiting people.

After that, the roleplay is moved over to the respective roleplay section (Free, Casual, and Advanced) determined by the GM of the roleplay. If I recall correctly, each roleplay thread has three sections linked to it for IC, OOC, and Characters. This is where plot, character sheets, and all that other fun stuff would be discussed.

Aside from that, each group and 1x1 has different rules and regulations. If you want to start your own roleplay, you can start interest checks as well.

A New User's Guide to the Guild should tell you other things you might need to know as well as what I said above in more detail. Hope this answered your question. I wish you best of luck on your search and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask around!

(As a side note, socially awkward is totally fine.)

@Brisk

Not really. In most cases you do need to post a character sheet that the game's host approves, which is a process typically simple enough to pick up on by reading first posts on OOCs and existing threads. The above linked guide should hep too. This applies for the vast majority of group roleplay threads mind you. For 1x1 it's about as complicated as 'hello'

From there, it's retention that's the tricky bit

[Brisk]

Do you think it's worth searching for one, or just making a "check" myself?

[Fiddlesticks]

I think it's totally worth it!

A good tip though, try and have a few different topics on your interest check! Cast a wide net!

[Brisk]

Fiddlesticks, your name is adorable. And uh... Thank you.

[Yamada Zero]

Welcome, friend. Someone as dated and as obsolete as myself is always welcome.

[Denduris]

Hello, welcome to our fun and games. It's a pleasure.

I have faith you have happy days ahead of you.
