Hello all, new here

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a PbP forum for a while as my daily schedule is too erratic to commit to live games, and I haven't found what I'm looking for at other RPG forums.

So far I like what I'm seeing here! I love the old-school, minimalist aesthetic of the forum and from poking around it looks like there's plenty of active games. No doubt I will find a game for me before too long.

My personal favourite system is GURPS and I'm a huge science fiction fan, but I am open to pretty much any genre or system.

Good to be here!

Hello all, new here

Welcome to the best Roleplay site on the World Wide Web universe!!!  There is the community forum to get acquainted with. You will find the majority of players here are eager to help new players.  We will answer any questions you might have at anytime.

You only need one login for this site.  Try for two or more will get you banned.  You can make as many characters as you heart desires and the GMs accept for your games you join.

As for wishing to join a game there is a link in every game that you click on to PM the owner/GM to talk and work out characters.

To ‘search’ for games there is a user friendly search generator that gives you many ways to search.  There is one on the Main page and one in a brilliant place to start looking called ‘Wanted players’{A place GMs place ads for their games}.  If nothing is found there then there is also the ‘Wanted GMs’ forum where you post what game types you are looking for.  GMs check there and might even start up a game for you.

Due to internet laws for all our safety this site requires you to wait 2 weeks to enter Adult games.  It passes quickly.  There are Beneral and Mature games you can join anytime from getting accepted to this site.

The most important thing to do right now is READ THE RULES!  They are honest and fair for all.  You will find the Admin/Moderators are here to help and guide you and can be reach through forums or Rmail.

There are definitely GURPS games and other system games if that is what pleases you or there are many Freeform games as well.  So enjoy yourself, make new friends, enjoy a world of writing with other like minds and be safe, secure and happy!

Happy Gaming

Hello all, new here

howdy.  best site out there! everything you need is on the main page. If you run or join a game, everythign you need for that game is on  the game's page.

 PMs... and R-mail are there to contact folks out side of the game.

 looking for  games, there is 'Player's  Wanted' thread ( DSMs/GMs  can  bump their add once a week). You may also use the  seacrh  engine at the  bottom of the  main page, and customize a search for games.

Forumns  are there to ask questions. If Mods   don't get you an answer a Player  will.

 Have fun!

Hello all, new here

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Don't worry, I'm not going to sign up sock accounts or otherwise make a nuisance of myself. In fact I am already noodling around with two or three possible games I might want to run.

I'll probably get more familiar with the site before I jump right in through.

Hello all, new here

I am in one game, on another site. I am only there, becuse i was one this  game  years  ago, as the various  sites  died.

 The Game is doing well on its  site. But i hate the  site, the  dice rolling, limited PMs  , all that stuff.i have a direct link to the game, because it  takes  me 30 minutes to did through the  'apges" to find the game!

 here?..all your games  are in the  main page.. nice 'light up' when there  are new posts..you can't beat this place.

Hello all, new here

Welcome, Ryan and Big H.

I've only been on here for a year, and it's my impression that new members join daily or weekly, so we've all been in your shoes. I hope (and trust) you will be glad you joined.

Happy gaming!

Hello all, new here

Greetings Ryan!  Welcome to the friendliest sight on the Web!  You will find any type of game you wish in here.  From various systems games to Freeform creative writing.  There are search engines for the site and check out the Wanted Players ( it also has a search link).

Not finding what you are wanting then go to Wanted GMs and post a short blurb of what you seek and I’m sure there will be GNs willing to work with you.  ; )

Happy Gaming
