Welcome, Ricardo!

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!

Hi! Welcome to the gang.

My experiences:

Most people on here are great.
There will always be someone willing to help if you have an issue.

Some games are too slow for me.
I like games posting at least once per day, more if the group is motivated.

Don't get involved in too many games at once.
I burned myself out trying to be in too many at the same time. It made it not fun for me and when I quit it meant I affected all the other players as well.

Combat is slow
If you're playing something like D&D, a simple fight can take 3 or 4 days if you're posting once per day
