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!
I've seen a few people write recently that they didn't feel welcome here at some point in the 20-year history of this site. I want to make clear that we are committed to maintaining an inclusive site free of discrimination or harassment.
Outplay 2023 is now officially open! Back in February, we had a vote to see what theme would be happening this year. Space/Sci-Fi ended up taking the lead. Since then, we have been very busy behind the scenes revising our Outplay System 2023, and putting together a setting where space travel, technology, and creativity can unite! All are welcome to come join the fun, be it a participant or a spectator. Applications will be due Friday, June 23rd, 6 PM Eastern.
CONGRATSZZZ to Wynamoinen for winning this month's Post of the Month April. Not only was their post chosen to stand out by our judges, but the nomination was well-written. I can not NOT quote Fillyjonk for the reasons provided to nominate this post.
Reason for Nominating: In this heartfelt, beautifully written post, Wynamoinen is doing four things at once.
Being extremely collaborative and taking a huge risk to help another player.
Bringing in Laisren's backstory and history
Remembering an important item and a plot point from all the way back in Chapter 1 and using them at this key moment.
Every year, we ask our community to nominate the finest, most exceptional games on this site for inclusion in the prestigious Hall of Fame. It's that time again! What is the Hall of Fame, you ask? Check that out here, including a list of all games inducted.
Drum roll, please! We have new games to add to the ranks of the Hall of Fame for 2023!
This year nine games were nominated for Hall of Fame status, and the competition was tight; the first round of voting narrowed that list to six, and after a final round of voting by our Community Supporters, now we have three new games to induct into the Hall of Fame!
A tie between two teams, Hoffman's Finest and Lizrads, results in seven members taking home the golden egg as champions of the 2023 Scavenger Egg Hunt.
Congratulations to Savoylen, Ghostwalking, Humble Athena, and Oakie of Hoffman's Finest.
Congratulations to Fillyjonk, LostCheerio, and PTWiddle of Lizrads.
Our winners have earned the right to wear the customized champion avatar designed by RPG Crossing artist Tigra. If you see them around the boards, give them a salute!
