Hello there, weary travelers. Fancy meeting you here.

Being an old fart, I've been diving into tabletop RPGs for over 20 years now. I love crunchy systems like D&D 5E and Pathfinder 2E (lots of rules, lots of structure) but I have grown to really appreciate some of the newer systems that focus more on story and narrative, downtime activities and other free-form elements.

Admittedly, I am not particularly experienced with play-by-post. The concept does intrigue me and I find its slower, steady nature kind of alluring, especially as my work schedule gets busier. I do love to roleplay, though. Whatever new features play-by-post subscribes to, I'll quickly pick them up and be happier than a pig in mud.

So let's roll some dice, brothers and sisters, and make some great memories together!

Cheers!

Welcome Aboard! GamersPlane is very new-player friendly and play by post is very good for scratching that RPG itch while being very time-efficient.

Nice to see a fellow Tennesseean around.

The BBC code sections for NPCs and Mapping really blows my mind. That is just too cool!

I've browsed through a lot of listed games, but many are closed. I do love how there is a search function where you can list only open games, or only a specific game system, etc. Pretty high tech!

I will eventually figure things out and find a game that fits my tastes. :)

Don't hesitate to tell us your tastes. Someone could then help guide you to games that fit. (And Welcome:)

I highly recommend joining the GamersPlane DISCORD channel. We don't play via Discord but it's a great way to get to know the community and we talk about games over there (especially upcoming ones) a lot more over there before we post the Interest Check on the forums.
