Hey Everyone

Just dropping in with an introduction, not really any good at these. I’m an old role player from the 80’s and 90’s and am looking to get a regular roleplay fix since I don’t get chance to do tabletop much anymore so PbP seems the way forward. I’m interested in pretty much anything going although I would like to branch out from D&D and try a few different things.

Hope to see you all around the boards!

Welcome Aboard!

Is there any particular genre or system you're wanting to try out? GamersPlane has a really wide variety of games being run.

Welcome to GP, Arakken. Branching out should be pretty easy here as we play all sorts of games. Rules light, crunchy and everything in between.

Welcome!

I’ve always wanted to try Pathfinder and also the One Ring so I’d certainly be up for anything like that.

Welcome Arakken!

Welcome to GP!

Welcome to the community, Arakken!

Thanks for the welcome all. I did have a question about game recruitment in terms of how it works here. If I see a game I like I take it I just hit the apply now button? Is getting into games generally first come first served or is there some sort of a recruitment process?

welcome
Usually the GM will invite when he/she have made a interest check (IC) or a recruitment tread in the game tavern. Here you can find open games.

Welcome :)

Join the club! Welcome :) While PbP lacks the speed and responsiveness of at-the-table, it fits so much better into the lifestyle of people with full-time jobs, full-time families, other responsibilities or hobbies, and any combination thereof. I'm sure you'll find something to scratch that creative itch!

Welcome!

Hello and welcome!

Welcome! I'll bet somebody's gonna pitch a The One Ring game sooner or later!
