It's been a long time since I've been in play by post RP world, but in high school I was very active on RPGFO for years. The layout here is a little different, and I have read and understand most of the FAQ page. I suppose now all I need is to open up a game in the "Players Wanted" section and pray? Wish me luck :)

PS I don't have a computer and always post from my phone, so you'll have to excuse my lack of fancy fonts and formats, as it's a total pain in the butt on my s5.

Welcome!
No praying needed, my friend.  :)    Though you might have a few "near misses"  before you have some games you like.   That's normal, though, and nothing to worry about.

Yes, go ahead and click on the Wanted Players section (if you haven't already).  Each game link goes to a game where you can read about what it's about, then click on the link to "request access" to send a message to the GM to ask to join.

Then the fun begins.  :)
