Hello all,

I'm Ncoturne9 (N9 or whatever nickname you see fit is fine). I started playing tabletop games roughly a decade ago, and forum RP longer ago than that, but never really mixed the two so I thought I'll give it a shot. My main experiences are with Pathfinder 1st Edition and D&D 5e, but I'm looking away from those systems to try something else. I'm also Australian and love puns, no matter how pun-ishing some find them.

Welcome, N9!

Have you met @Harrigan? I'm sure you'd get along well :)

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.
If you have any questions about how to use the site, you can put them into our Questions and Help subforum.

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.

Somebody who enjoys puns and wants to move away from 5e? I see you've met Bowlofspinach. I hope you're pretty hot on 1990s Swedish pop culture.

Welcome.

What is this 'something else' you are wanting to try?

What sorts of stories or genres are you after? Still mostly 'fantasy' like DnD and PF did?

I think more smaller scale games, like Monsterhearts, Bubblegumshoe and the like from what I vaguely know of those systems. PF and D&D can certainly have those settings, but they tend to rapidly outgrow normal everyday. I'm not against larger scale games, plenty of times I've played people who become world-saving super powerful people, just want to try out the opposite.

They do tend towards the 'epic'.
Monsterheats is quite the opposite, it tends to fall apart when you try to 'save the world'... though I have done it (with reluctance:).

Welcome aboard, N9! Bad news though, @bowlofspinach has already used the site's allotment of puns for all of 2022.
