How to begin play by post?

The GM or Game Master will usually tell you.

It's basically any time you attempt something you could conceivably fail at.

You don't need to roll to walk or breathe or have a basic conversation.

You do need to roll to run up a sheet of ice that is about to crack off and sink into the icy depths, or to have the stamina to climb up that big ass cliff face so you can rescue that one dipshit Prince who went to go rescue the Princess but didn't have the upper body strength, or to convince the warlock that his Eldritch God is actually just an edgy teenager wearing some artfully modified chicken carcasses and speaking in French.

Just confirming, I too can see it.

Maybe ask "skidrow" what they did to hide it.

I always look at new profiles and they have like 8 previous names, all hidden.

ACTUAL POT-BELLIED GOBLINS!!

Ghosting is killing ideas..

Getting a good reputation on Guild for staying with a story does take time. Without that reputation any GM is taking you on, on blind trust. The ghosting thing is a major cause of many GMs creating smaller roleplays in the first place with less risk of players flaking and only inviting people they know and are reliable.

@Gareth

I think writing quality/consistency is a good way to fairly quickly bypass that as a road block.

If someone is brand new but I read like three things of theirs I really liked I'd be inclined to either accept or invite them to an RP I'm hosting. You are right though. It definitely becomes easier to consistently have threads that go for a distance when you have a reliable roster of folks to RP with. It's fun getting new blood though.

I'm sure you all have heard the praises, but I'm having a good old time with Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Taking my sweet ass time with it

Yeah Halfling was already in. I could do Halfling Rogue but I'd much rather do either small goofy Monk or big dumb green punchy Monk

Honestly I am more hyped about Baldur’s Gate 3 being fully released on August 31 ☕️

@Shu

They better put in the Orc or Half Orc and my previous Monk class.

I already got it for the EA but I can't sit down and work through it without at least one of those.

I'm glad Persistent World is gone, although I will miss seeing my "Are Halflings Canon?" thread as the most recent post for forever.
