Late Introduction

[Maya Conti]

I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am Maya Conti (not real name), and I've been lurking around for a year now, but only now that I have decided to be active. Nice to meet you all.

[Elanir]

Welcome to the site, Maya! I wish you luck with the recruitment for your game advertisement -it looks very interesting- and a happy and successful gaming year.

Welcome to the site, Maya Conti!
It looks like you're already going full steam ahead with a NPSG and your own game!
Happy gaming!

[Admin Dirk]

glad you joined us and are already starting a game! I know you are a pathfinder gamer huzzah!), and I hope to see you around!

Happy gaming!

[Birched]

Greetings, I added my list anyway as that is now a thing I do in these threads

So Just Pathfinder or are you RPG-poly?

 

• New game adverts are like the weather in that there might be a pattern and overall consistency to them, but like the weather droughts and floods can and do occur.
• Real Life is also like the weather so leave yourself time for the expected and unexpected, don't overextend yourself and the same applies to those you play with.
• Games can get lots of applications and you will be passed over, treat it as a bad roll and move on
• The solo game is a great intro - do one. You can also join other games early on but be upfront about your experience
• Some real soloists play Ironsworn Give it a whirl...
• Wow - even more free fun what are you waiting for
• What even more gaming opportunities
• Give XP when you see or read something you like (the scales icon on the top right of every post)
• The staff are kind but human so don't ignore the rules, smackdowns can be public
• Not having the rules available can stop one wanting to join a less popular system and is there more than one REAL system?

Well, I do play other RPGs, though for now, I'd like to focus on Pathfinder 1e.

(even though you have made yourself at home for a while now, you are still welcome)Welcome to RPGx.

By chance, have any experience with the HERO system? (Champions, Star Hero, Fantasy Hero, etc.)

[Admin Choc]

Goodmorning Maya Conti,

Welcome over here and my respect for becoming a green supporter right away! Thank you for that :-).
If I may be so forward, what made you decide to step out of your lurkiness and get an introduction post out? What was the trigger?

Well, I just thought that I might as well get into this PbP stuff, so here I am.

Tell us a bit more about yourself. What RPG system(s) do you play other than Pathfinder 1e? What genre (fantasy, sci fi, horror, etc.) are your favorites. Do you prefer games that tell stories or hack and slash? How much RPG and PbP experience do you have? Brie or feta?

There are PF 1e games opening up all the time, so you should be able to find something.

This is a great place to scratch your RPG itch and interact with some great DMs and players, even with your schedule. There is some incredible role playing going on here. I thought I was a a pretty good story teller, but I have been put to shame by the quality of many of the players...and I have learned a lot. I sent a link to one such site I've been lucky enough to be a part of below. You should check out the Hall of Fame games over the years for others.

You may want to check out a solo game. Even if you have PbP experience each site is a bit different.

This is a place where the people are welcoming, where the games are interesting, and where generally they only expect you to post a few times a week. I've been playing D&D for a very long time and I thought I've seen it all, but this site has some amazing games going on. I've been playing (storytelling as much as rolling) for a bit over two years now in a game that has been going on continuously for four decades, started tabletop and moved online two decades ago. It's set in an alternate Europe where the worlds of Tolkien and Howard existed in ages past. So there is a hint of LOTR and a hint of Conan in it and since it's set in an alt Europe it somehow feels familiar.

This is just one example and there are other great campaigns on RPGX. You should take some time to "stroll around" the site and see if anything catches your eye.

I hope to see you around on the boards.

Welcome, Maya Conti! Very cool that you decided to get into PbP. It's such a fun way to RP . I wish you the best on your game ad!

I did apply for a Pathfinder solo game, but so far, no one is picking it up yet.

[psuedenim]

Yeah - PbP speed is a whole different gear but once you get used to it it does offer up other advantages...
