Heyo!

Heyo and a-hiya to everyone! I'm Basil, fairly new to play-by-post, but I have around a year of experience with DnD 5e. Was hoping to find a game here just so I can fit in a bit more dnd in my week and improve my writing skills in the process.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to GP!

What kind of genres do you like? What's been your favorite part of playing 5e so far, and have you tried any other systems?

Standard high fantasy is a given, but I like the concepts of low fantasy and dieselpunk. I definitely find combat the most engaging, especially since a lot of 5e's mechanics are built around that, but I absolutely love it when I can bounce off of other PCs in RP. I have not tried other systems, unfortunately, but I'm open to learning!

Welcome, Basil!

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 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.

You're also invited to join us on the Discord server for some friendly conversation, about the site, RPGs in general or anything else!

I also run a beginner's game as a quick introduction to GamersPlane and play-by-post, if you're interested.

Welcome Basil! good luck finding your first game if your relatively experienced with the D&D 5e rule set I would sugest that you apply to @kadeton's High Level Play game I've also heard rumors that an Icewind Dale game may be starting soon.

Welcome Aboard! It's always nice to have another low-fantasy enthusiast around!

Welcome to the community, Basil!

Hello and welcome to GP, Basil! This is one of the few places I’ve been where this many people straight-up show up in introduction threads to say hello, so as you might imagine it’s a great place to play by post!

Hullo Basil, welcome to the community!

Welcome to the fold!

Welcome to Gamersplane BasilIronstar! I've found this to be a friendly place as well. There are lot's of people here eager to help newcomers, so don't be shy to reach out if you're confused by anything. :)

Nice to meet you, Basil!

welcome

I wonder what a low fantasty D&D 5e game would be like? I suppose it depends on the definition of "low fantasy". A D&D game set on Earth - maybe just a sort of Arthurian kind of setting? Or a campaign with little to no magic, and just the physical classes, Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, Rogue, Ranger. Could definitely be interesting!

Hm, I wonder what a good dieselpunk system would be?

"A bit more DnD"? That was how I started here. My advice is to get out now before it's too late.
