I came across this link to PbP, which I had not heard of ,while looking for RPG games at Christmas. I have looked into it again recently and decided it would be fun to try. I am not a mad fan of high fantasy but don't mind trying it. I would probably prefer a Gothic setting. I noticed some games say they are custom what does this mean?

Welcome to the community, Sprinkles! "Custom" games are games that use a system that we don't have a built-in character sheet for. For example, when we play Traveller there are no Traveller character sheets built into the site, so we made a custom game instead and use the custom sheet, which is like a blank canvas of text and formatting for you to design your own custom character sheet.

Welcome, Sprinkles!

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.

Hello Sprinkles! Welcome to GP!

Not all of the TTRPG games here are high fantasy - there are all sorts of genres here! When you say gothic setting, are you thinking supernatural like werewolves/vampires, or horror like Lovecraftian monsters - or something else entirely?

Have you played any TTRPGs before? If so, which systems?

Hello Sprinkles, welcome to the community! Lots of games on offer before fantasy here as others point out -- spies, pulp action, science fiction, horror, superheroes, the gamut. Hope you find something that interests you.
