um, sup

Hi. Not sure where to start or what all to encompass, but I guess I'll just jump right in. My brother introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition a few years ago. I was reluctant at first, but fell in love after a few seconds of cooperation. We had a group that got together once a week for about a year, and then fell apart. I've tried to start it up a few times more, but it never happened, so now I'm resorting to this to get my fix. Apparently, I've got a talent for writing and making very interesting characters with lots of depth. I used to create these characters for fun using a 5e app, but I deleted most of them shortly after, and lately I've been in a bit of a slump. I'm sure there'll be nothing like playing d&d to get my creative juices flowing again. An important thing to note about me would probably be that I'm non-binary, but if you must know, I suppose that biologically I'm female. Despite this, I'm not very easily offended, which I'm sure is a breath of fresh air for many of you. I look forward to playing with all of you.

Welcome, I am sure you will find a game to your liking. Also keep an eye out for other games so if you want to learn a new one, people here are more than willing to teach.

Welcome.
As for being non-binary, or how you identify...to be honest, half the people I am in games with, I have no idea of their gender. Just the character.

Greetings and salutations.

I"m convinced that half the players i play with are robots. So theres no worries about here :D

Welcome!

Welcome to the party.

I came into PbP with a similar attitude as you "well, I guess this is what I must do to get my rp fix now".

4 years later, I find many of the PbPs I'm involved in (which is currently 6, 2 GMing, 4 Playing) to be more rewarding than many(/most?) IRL games I've played.

PbP is a great medium in which to experience rpgs. IF you communicate and engage willingly and eagerly, and IF you find the right ppl.

I can tell you, you've achieved the second part. What about the first?

Welcome Peppermint_Green! It's affirming to hear how quickly you found a passion for our beloved hobby. I hope you find some great D&D games and maybe get to try some other game systems, too;

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome aboard.

Thank you all for the warm reception and the advice, I have a tendency to overthink things, so it really doesn't go unappreciated. CaveJohnson, ily, you're my favorite so far. Great username, excellent profile pic. Portal 2 was my favorite game for a long time, and Borderlands 2 is my current favorite, keeping the hype train rollin for 3!

Welcome
