Hello, my name is Samuel.

[samuelmage]

I am Brazilian and have been playing RPGs for about 4 years. I’ve been a DM a few times, but not extensively.

I’ve always liked the idea of PbP, as I feel more comfortable with this format.

I’m very happy to have found this site that offers 100% PbP content. I hope to find a group to experience eternal adventures along with fellow players who enjoy a good old-school RPG.

Howdy Samuel,

We have a few Brazilian players I believe. Well, welcome from the very wet eastern US. You have stumbled upon a great site! I found it a few years ago and it is my go to RPG place now.

What RPG system(s) do you play? FYI, D&D is our most played RPG here, with PF a close second. Do you have much experience with play by post? If not, the people here are friendly and willing to teach. The writing here is great and you can find places to role play or roll play, depending on your wants.

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. Will you stick with D&D or maybe branch out? As I mentioned, 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!

Well, at least you didn't roll a 1. So, potential success there, if you have any modifiers. Or the DC is low.

GLad you joined us, I hope all future rolls are higher. Happy gaming!

Hi, Samuel! Thanks for joining us. I think you should get Inspiration for that wonderful introduction.
Go ahead and reroll that d20!

Good evening samuelmage

(GMT+1 over here)

Welcome over here and I have to confess I bursted out in laughter spotting your readiness to adventure (a ....2) but it is the best way to start an adventure, to know nothing and just jump in.
Have you been working in a character yet? If so, what are you creating?

[Leviticus]

Welcome, samuelmage! I hope you're finding your way around the site, okay. I see that you already applied for a New Player Solo Game! That's the perfect way to get started with all things PbP!

[Seiroh]

Welcome to the forum. I hope that you have a great time here!
