Decrepit New Gamer

Hi!

I'm in my 50's with very little role playing experience. I became interested when my children did, but they quickly found their own friends to play with an didn't want me cramping their style. I've never played face to face, I did very much enjoy a beginners Roll20 campaign a while ago, but scheduling another since has not been easy.

I'm hoping to dip my toe into Play by Post. Up to now I've only played D&D 5e, but I'll give anything a go, so long as the rules are accessible.

Looking forward to playing!

Welcome, wilsric!

Please be aware that while we do have a fairly sizable Italian userbase here (just going off my perception, no actual data), this is still primarily an English language website for people from all over the world. You're free to use any language you want in a game, but in public forums, it's expected common courtesy to provide at least a translation if you're going to be posting in a different language, just so nobody is out of the loop :)

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.

Hi, wilsric!

Many people here are in their 40's and 50's so don't worry about age.
One thing many role players enjoy is getting more people to play and seeing them blossom.
Have fun gaming.

Thanks All! Looking forward to getting started.

Welcome Aboard!

There are plenty of D&D 5e games around and I'm sure you'll find one to your liking soon. 5e is one of the more popular games on GamersPlane but there are a wide array of other systems and genres played here too, if you're interested in exploring those!

Also, I highly recommend joining the GamersPlane DISCORD channel & getting to know the community.

Thank you all very much for your warm welcome! Psybermagi has kindly let me join his Tiny Fantasy Adventure for New Players, so hopefully that will help me learn the ropes.
