Hello

[Lordofthestrom]

Hi, I’ve been playing RPGs for a few years, mostly D&D 5e and 4e, while I have some experience with PBP it's been a while since the last time I played.

[Admin Dirk]

Welcome!

glad you joined us, to rekindle your gaming love. You'll find plenty of 5e games around, and 4e still has fans. Happy gaming!!

Welcome m’lord!

Hello, LordoftheStorm! Not sure if you are in the United States, but if you did then you picked a very appropriate wintry storm time to join!

So 5e and 4e, yeah? What are your favorite type of characters to play. I'm going to take a wild guess and say ... tiefling ranger? Hot? Cold?

Welcome to RPG Crossing, Lordofthestrom! Have fun exploring the community, and let us know if you have any questions!

[Leviticus]

Welcome, Lordofthestrom! And thank you for bringing your RP experience to the site. I hope you find a fun game or two to get back into the PbP way of RPing. It's just like riding a bike, right?

[Admin Choc]

Goodday Lordofthestrom,

Welcome over here and cool to read you have played 4th edition, we kinda skipped that one in our roleplay journey. We did play Pathfinder a lot but when the 5th edition came out all my games kinda started to be 5e ones. It is all I play nowadays, but I have to confess that Tephra is also still so tempting.... Game forum was ready to go to start an adventure but never made the decision to recruit and start. (wish I had the time and energy)

Have you been cruising the site yet? Any intentions to join a game?

Given the time of year welcome to your slow unwrapping of the delightful present this place is.

And whilst everyone is equal GMs are more equal than others

Do you just play or do you like to run games too?

 

• 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

Howdy Lord,

It sounds like you are an experienced player. I'm a D&D guy too (5e now but my favorite is AD&D) who enjoys fantasy, but I have played many other RPG systems. If you are looking for a place to role play, and not just roll play, this is it. Well, 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 some 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. Of course, there are plenty of hack and slash games too, so take your pick.

A great way to brush up on your PbP skills is to check out a solo game.

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.

Hiya Stromlord! I'm new here as well - we're part of the Christmas 2022 Crop (clearly an excellent vintage).

Welcome to RPGx.

[mikalluna501]

This is my first time here, hello everyone. I appreciate being a part of the community. I like to play different games as a hobby on various websites, such as Wilbur Soot, where I enjoy discovering new games.
