Greetings!

Hello, everyone! I don't have a lot of experience with roleplaying in general, but I've always been intrigued by the concept. I'd like to explore the Alien RPG from Free League in the future, either as a player or GM. I think PBP is the best option given my unorthodox schedule.

EDIT: I came here after discovering Qralloq's Youtube channel.

Ohai there! I welcome thee. What are you interested in? I assume sci-fi/ horror from your Alien RPG interest.
I haven't come across it; talk me into it. :)

Welcome, Surrealist!

If you want to see how GP functions, here are links to the New GP Member Guide, the forum rules, this video introduction made by user Qralloq (which you might already know then) and a little helpful formatting guide made by user Adam. You might also be interested in looking through some public games as well to get a feel for the site.

To join a game, keep your eyes on the Games Tavern, where GMs advertise their games and look for players.

I also accepted you into the tutorial game now and set things up. Let me know if you find everything okay there.

If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to contact any of the following moderators:

Happy gaming!

I'm also possibly interested in playing Mothership or Call of Cthulu. The new Bladerunner RPG coming out sounds cool too!

The YouTube is doing something beyond entertainment! Welcome!

Wow! Thanks a bunch. I watched the tutorial video and read through the introduction tutorial. I think the actual Tales from the Loop game will help me get a feel for the site as well.

A Surrealist welcome to you

welcome

Welcome Aboard!

Hello and welcome!

Welcome! Call of Cthulhu is a really fun game, and I would like to try running a Mothership game at some point, too!

Welcome! As a fellow unorthodox schedule person I feel like this is the right place 🤪

Welcome to the community!

Welcome to GP, Surrealist38! A few of us are indeed playing Alien, and it's a solid choice for PbP play. Hope to see you around!

Welcome to GP, Surrealist38!

That's interesting. How did you find the channel? Was it searching for play by post?

I've had a hankering to play Alien, too. If you need any help arranging that, feel free to contact me.

Welcome!

I found the channel through a reddit post/comment regarding PBP. It was a response to someone else who recently created a Youtube tutorial channel about PBPing.

I thought it might be because of Year Zero Engine.

You found it through the exactly one and only time I have mentioned the channel outside of the GP community! Very cool.
