You can call me Oops.

I usually go by Oopsalot. I've been doing TTRPG since the early days, but haven't played for a while now. Thought I would give PbP a try and see how it goes.

Howdy jreddin1,

Is there any meaning to jreddin1? Glad to have you as a part of our PbP community. I started tabletop a long time ago but I have come to love playing by post. I hope you do too.

As an introduction, I'm a D&D 5e player, but I also love L5R, King Arthur Pendragon, GURPS, and RuneQuest. Tell us a bit more about yourself. Which RPGs system(s) do you plan to play here? We have a lot of RPG systems from which to choose and we're willing to teach. How about genre, do you prefer high magic, low magic, historical fiction, high tech, horror, sci fi/future tech, etc.? Do you have a favorite character class, race? Do you know how much wood a woodchuck chucks, if a woodchuck, could chuck wood?

There are a lot of choices for various RPG systems here, although PF and D&D are the two most common. We have quite a few games with very long legs here. In fact, I talk about one below. To start, you may want to check out a solo game. This will help you learn the site tools, since each site is a bit different.

As far as finding games goes, try here. This is where there are games seeking players. It can be a bit daunting but don't give up. It may take a few applications before you get accepted...but it's worth it once you're in. This is a great place to scratch your RPG itch and interact with some great DMs and players. There is some incredible role playing going on here. I thought I was 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.

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 few 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!

glad to have you. Oops, eh? That's what my parents call my brother Squeak. And what we say about Raylorne around here a LOT. But hey, they don't own the name, so we can call you Oops too. I hope you enjoy it here, and have a lot of happy games!

Geez, that's lot of questions. Nosey much?? Lol!

1) jreddin1 is first part of my email address. Should have put in Oopsalot since I use that extensively in gaming.
2) Plan to play 5e. I've played LOTS of stuff through the years, but DnD is where I started, and what I like to play the most
3) Prefer typical DnD type worlds. More RAC than RAW, though.
4) No favorite class really, but I like sorcerer's and half-elf or human (depending on the campaign)
5) 15 cords. This has been proven.

I signed up for a solo game since I've never PbP'ed before, so we'll see how that goes!

Nice to meet y'all!

Welcome from me as well. Since you've already found your way around the boards, there aren't many tips that I can add, so just: have fun.
ETA: Ah, since it's a forum, you can use the edit function in case of oops (but not for die-rolls).

Hey, oopsalot! Mistakes are the best way to learn, right? So, I see you marked 5e as you favorite game, so are you sticking with the 2014 system or venturing into the updated rules? If the new rules, are there things you really like about them?

Welcome to the site, and hope to see you around the boards!
