Long-time listener; first-time poster

Hey all, I have just begun PbP in November with two DCC games. I played AD&D back in the 80s but only recently got back into TTRPGs. I resisted PbP because I thought that I’d lose something. Wow, was I wrong! The quality of RP is way better than IRL.
Anyway, I’m just now reading and learning about how to GM a game here and finding the tutorials super helpful. I think I’ll play a few more different types of games before running my own game but I’m loving DCC so I’d like to see more of it on here.

Welcome, Darkstar!

If you've been around here for a while, a lot of this might not be news to you, but here's some links anyway, in case they're helpful:

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.

Happy gaming!

Glad you found GamersPlane! I think during the recent COVID craziness, PbP has been a great boon to roleplayers everywhere.

Welcome!

Thank you! In fact, I used the link you posted for another newcomer to find this introduction thread. You are most helpful, good sir!

Thx @cancerman and @witchdoctor!

Not a sir, but you're welcome 😄

Hi Darkstar8.

Great avatar - very old school.

Totally agree Darkstar. Great to have you in the community and good luck with your first of many games as a GM!

Welcome to the community, @Darkstar8!

Welcome to GP!

Welcome Darkstar8. I think DCC is growing on people and I hope you find a great game to join.

Welcome!

[face palm] apologies for not checking your pic😳

Pics can be deceiving anyway. No worries 😄

(Psst, I have a suspicion Jabes isn't actually a Beholder)

It’s actually drawn by an artist I found on Instagram but then ran into at the renaissance faire! His name is Michael Hsiung

Official welcome, Darkstar8, though we've been playing a while in one of those DCC games!

Welcome, familiar stranger! lol

We're all happy you've come to play!
