Welcome SMOE.

What at you hoping to get from this game?

Do you have any past experience: with this game system, PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) games in general, other RPG systems, or with PbP (Play by Post)? It is fine of you don't, we can teach you as we go along.

Take a look at the Help! thread for guidance. Feel free to ask any question here or in the General Chat depending on where they seem relevant.

You can find the Game's Rule Book copied here for easy access. You may find Character Creation section useful.

Hi! Thanks for having me. I've played like, one other PBP campaign on discord that wasn't very good. I also play some 5e, and I am making a megacity campaign for Forbidden Lands very very slowly. I've never played anything on this site before, so please feel free to nag me, or ping me on discord if I don't check one of the threads. I'll probably pick it all up eventually though.

Also I'm mostly just looking to get more player exp, and a comfy little text game that I can check on a couple of times a day sounds good. Check out my character sheet and see if it's okay, and let me know how to jump in 👍

What about that other PbP game 'wasn't very good'? So we can try avoid those problems.

You will need to roll for your Attributes, then we can talk about making a character using the dice roller below your posts. Character talk can go in the Character and World thread, general questions can go here.

You are all Fresh Faced adventurers with no experience going very far from the base town. There is no 'vast desert of Uru'. This is a low-key adventure, so you are also very unlikely to ever make enough to 'live the life of a queen'. :)

Once we have a viable character, we can work out how to introduce them to the story. We are at a good point for doing so, as the other PCs are about to start exploring a new area with lots of potential for finding new people.

Oh, it was just slow and a couple of people were bad at writing words, or just disappeared etc etc, I think it just died out after not very long. I liked the idea of it though. I finished reading all of the posts and I definitely don't see those problems here c:.

Yeah, I was just kind of going with whatever information I could find in the book. I just made her up after rolling some dice. It's her dream to get rich, and I am aware that she is probably going to die horribly before that happens, so don't worry.

I guess I'll roll up a new character here on this website if I must 👀. I'll do it on the character page so everybody can see my dice rolls. There's a lot of information to check through on this site. Would you be able to send me to some posts that tell us more about the world and the one town we're all from, please? Or if there isn't, could you give me a lil' synopsis or something? Thanks c:

I'll get around to it tomorrow though, because it's late! Thanks for inviting me to this game.

Given the nature of this game, we have had a few players pop in, do a bit and then vanish, so there is a lot there that is not very relevant anymore.

A Summary of the relevant bits is now on the wiki. I hope it covers everything.

Ah, we left town right after starting, so there is not a lot we know about 'home'. It is a generic low-magic fantasy-medieval(ish) port town.

Unless your character is going to be staying there rather than joining us out on this adventure, you can just tell us a little bit about what their life was like and we can add it to lore.

Hi SMOE, great to have you in the game with us! Could you please add your character to the library, so the other players can see your sheet? Borrowing vagueGM's instructions here:

"In order for players to be able to see the contents of the sheets, you all need to mark the grey 'note' icon that says Add to Library on your character list.

(Red means others can see the sheet.)"

There's also a current party thread where you can post a shorter description of your character.
