Thank you for the warm greetings and advice everyone, I'll be sure to read through the links provided in the post Hyde, and I'll very likely start with Free or Casual to start off role. I bid you all a good day, and fair writings.

Usually interest checks is where you'd want to start. These are basically advertisements for Roleplays that are looking to get off the ground or pre-existing Roleplays that are looking for new players. You can find them in each of our on-site sections including Free, Casual, Advanced, Nation, Tabletop, 1x1, Arena, and General with some more alive than others. You can make your own or respond to one that grabs your attention. Alternatively, you can also join a game that is already ongoing though that is much more difficult. I'm in one such Roleplay that is always accepting new recruits and there are some more on the site if you're willing to look into whatever interests you.

Oh, I can relate to that. I started on Chatango then switched to MSN and then to Skype from there. It was a bit of an uphill battle to get adjusted to post-by-post Roleplaying and I still struggle from time to time. Hopefully you're able to find what you're looking for though. If you have any questions in the meantime, however, then please don't hesitate to ask. Most of us are pretty friendly and usually happy to help.
Welcome to the Guild, @Shargof. What kind of Roleplays have you written in the past?
