Hello, world!

A skeleton rises from its grave, new to this world and ready to explore.

Hi all.
I am new to roleplaying and not sure what type of game will be best for me but i am ready to learn.
I am brought here by a 9 month old video featuring Harrigan.

Now let us see how long it takes before someone finds the meaning of my username.

Welcome Sterfteerst. Hopefully you're not the first to die in your first campaign.

Dust off those bones, Sterfteerst, and welcome to the GP community!

If you're new to roleplaying games, is there something that attracts you to the hobby? Novels, movies of a certain types, perhaps actual play videos... if you let the crew there know what interests you, we can point you in the right direction for getting into a game.

Welcome!

Welcome Sterfteerst! No gonna lie, I'm intrigued by the username mystery! What video did you watch with Harrigan? I've never seen these guys outside the forum and I'd love to check it out.

Google points me to a book by Pieter Witkamp for the name...

That was faster than expected lol. We will see. as long as it adds to the story i am fine with it.
I am attracted by the freedom in how to do things as a character and to create stories.
In general I am more attracted to grimdark and dark fantasy settings and moral ambiguity in characters.

It was "guide to playing rpgs using play by post" by how 2 rpg.

As for the name, it is far simpler than a book...

Welcome Aboard!

Welcome!

Keep your eyes peeled for people advertising / recruiting for games like Shadow of the Demon Lord, Warhammer, Warlock!, ZWEIHÄNDER, 5th Edition D&D in the Midnight setting, and (oh please oh please) Band of Blades. OSR (Old School Revival / Renaissance) games can also lean that way, but just as often they're just dungeon-delvers or are more focused on gonzo / weird fantasy.

Welcome :)

Are you going to resolve the mystery? 😄

Oh, clever. I should have thought of something like that. Neat!

Welcome to GP, Sterfteerst!

Welcome to the community, Sterfteerst! Clever username :D
