If you'd like to craft stories and play role playing games
with thousands of people from around the world,
you've come to the right place!
RPG Crossing is a 40,000+ member online community that focuses on play by post role playing games (PBP RPG) and features such systems as Dungeons and Dragons (2e, 3e, 3.5e, 4e, 5e), Pathfinder, GURPS, d20 Modern, Serenity, Star Wars, Storytelling (World of Darkness) and many more. We are an active community with many new games looking for players every day, and with plentiful guides and tutorials for the new player and the veteran alike, including: New Player Solo Games to introduce new players to PBP and/or RPing; and DM Mentoring - a forum full of collaborative DM tools.
We also publish Explosive Runes, a terrific free role playing magazine with stunning artwork and great articles.
Free membership also gives access to our character sheets. We currently host over 82000 sheets for 10 different role playing systems!
Every year, we ask our community to nominate the finest, most exceptional games on this site for inclusion in the prestigious Hall of Fame. The nominations are in!
Public voting to narrow the list of Hall of Fame nominees starts now!
Please read the rules posted in the voting thread BEFORE you vote! If you break the rules your votes will be disqualified, no excuses.
You have two weeks to look over the games that have been nominated – links are provided in the voting thread – and vote for your favorites to be included in the Hall of Fame! The poll will automatically close on May 1st, two weeks from now. Please be aware of the timestamp on the poll,... [Read More]
"At RPG Crossing, we aim to foster an enjoyable environment for all gamers and writers, with a special focus on tabletop roleplaying games and associated genres." -- Site Rules & Help
There's a reason we put that statement at the top of our Site Rules & Help page. We mean it! I regularly receive comments about how welcoming and respectful our community is, but if that is not your experience, I and the rest of the site staff want to make sure that you know that you have avenues to be heard, and that we take such communications seriously. You can identify site staff by their red usernames, a "Staff" or "Admin" badge beside their user name, and by their appearance in this list.
Grab your magnifying glasses, because the Scavenger Hunt will be returning this year with a whole new list of things to find, people to see, and shenanigans to enact. Please find a bit of time in your schedule to be online on April 17th at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 6 PM CET. There will be a 36 hour window for you to gather your teammates, scavenge your items, and format that all important hunt list.
For the third year in a row, RPG Crossing will be running a Community Day this April 1. Once again, given the extent of foolishness we are still dealing with all the time these days, we will skip the April Fools' Day tomfoolery and focus on the merry. Instead of practical jokes and silly pranks, we will take the day to celebrate something different: the awesomeness of our community.
That's why we are making April's Fools Day a special day again this year. All day long (and some of each of the neighbouring days), we are asking that instead of a joke or a prank, you instead give out RPXP "hits" to people, to remind everyone of the good things still happening. You can give RPXP for great game posts, just like always, but we would like you to please go out and spread the good news about anything else as well.
The Parameters
Our April Community Appreciation Day(s) begins immediately (we know it is March 31, but don't want confusion about 'is this real?') and will go until the morning of April 2.
The point is to send people real and meaningful messages. Please do that!
