New to PbP

Hi all,
I recently discovered play by post gaming and it got my mind spinning. I have a few friends, all of whom love ttrpgs but we all have very different lives and trying to sit down regularly (or irregularly) is just not possible. I'd like to start a game for them using Troika! from Melsonian Arts Council but I would like to get a feel for PbP before I do. Are there any short beginner friendly games starting up where i could vibe check PbP before bringing it to them?

Thanks, I am very excited to become a part of this community. Oh! And a big shout out to Harrigan! I watched the How 2 RPG episode with him in it and it got me really excited about gaming this way.

Welcome aboard, Marmy!

I've only been here for a couple of months, but I have to say that there's a good bunch of people here. It's rekindled my interest in gaming.

There are plenty of new beginner friendly games starting up all the time—I'm in two myself. Check out the Games Tavern. Several new games of various systems and experience are started there every week.

Hey Marmy49, welcome to the GP community! Glad I didn't scare you off, and good luck finding a game to join!

Welcome to GP Marmy49! As others have said, beginner friendly games pop up fairly frequently. One in particular you might be interested in is Psybermagi's Tiny Shattered Lands, which I believe has a standing open invitation for new members. Psybermagi usually turns up with the full pitch, so hopefully you can check whether that will work before too long here. Either way, good luck with PbP and I hope you find it suitable!

Thanks for the welcome and tips everyone :) I'd love to hop into a game once you have space Psybermagi. I've applied to Tiny Shattered Lands.
