Hi!

I'm new to this site, but not new to this style of play. I have been palladium games on ExplorersUnlimited and on discord playing DnD 5e. I am here to see what else is out there and maybe try a shadowrun game for my first time.

welcome!

a new runner, eh? You'll make a lot of chummers happy. Fresh meat, new imaginations. Hope you enjoy it here. Happy gaming!

Welcome to the site!

Welcome, Leprecoone! That's cool you're giving PbP a try. I've found that it adds so much to RP that tabletop and other styles don't have, like character depth and roleplaying. I hope you enjoy it!

If you haven't checked it out already, consider applying for a New Player Solo Game. It's a great way to learn more about how PbP works from your own GM!

Howdy Leprecoone,

Truth in lending, I'm a D&D player to my core. Lately it's been 5e, which I like a lot but my favorite version is AD&D, although at one time or another I've played a whole host of RPGs. It's been years since I played Shadowrun...but we have a little bit of everything here and lot of some games, D&D 5e and PF to be specific. Do you prefer games that tell stories or hack and slash? What is your favorite D&D character class and race if you have one? Brie or feta?

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. 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.

As Leviticus said, 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.

Hello Fellow Chummer! Welcome!! I also too love shadowrun and glad to see others are looking to play!

Welcome to the site, Leprecoone! I hope you find the site to your liking. I love it because it is text-first gaming. It doesn't try to get you to buy-up anything or use theme dice for an upfee ... it is pure play-by-post gaming. If that's what you are looking for, then you've come to the right place! Hope to see you around the boards!

Welcome to RPGx.

Greetings, I am still a little green here and very green as as Chummer but its nice to see these other games get some growth potential. It also means I can justify my problem with buying rules books but not playing them. I should buy them as hardbacks and treat them as coffee table books, some people like to peruse art others rules...

 

• 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 or trigger an immediate buy response!

I'm a noob here. I am honored to be a part of that club. I'm playing games I am also finding a gaming cover for the Technoblade trendy Phone cover you can suggest to me. basically, since I'm a toddler (not kidding). I also have a deep knowledge of gaming wise how long every major game is, who the developer is and what the gameplay features are, and technical aspects (game engines, resolution, etc.). Now I'm 24 y/o and I can't keep playing a game for more than 1 hour without it boring me to death for about 1 year. This means I haven't finished a single game in 1 year even though gaming is in my mind every day.
