Welcome!

Greetings and salutations!


Welcome to RP Nation, where Roleplay is our business.


You've found us, congratulations for choosing the best RP site on the whole intertubes, we're glad you're here and a part of the expanding universe that is RP Nation. Also, now you're officially one of the cool kids.


Before you being your quest to becoming one of the old hats here at RPN, please do take a second and take a look at the site rules. You can find them here: INFO - Official Site Rules | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum.


Unlike the Pirate code, they aren't more like suggestions but rules that we take a bit seriously. If, however, you've got a few pieces of eight you'd like to swing our way, we're always more than happy to take it. (I said, the rules weren't suggestions, never said we weren't piratey mate).


Once you've had a glance over the rules there's more information to be had here: Site Questions & Information | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum. You can find something there to answer just about any question you might have.


Now then, I know that you have to answers that you're wanting answered now and the first is, you can join any RP that is open. You can find the different RP genres here: Roleplays | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum


They're set up by genre so if you're looking for that Belgariad fandom RP (sorry, none yet exists here) then you'll know you aren't going to be looking in the futuristic genre. Each genre has an interest check at the top of the page and you can peruse this to see if anyone is wanting to create an RP.


If you are trolling the RPs and you just gotta make your own futuristic version of the Elenium, then you can pick the genre (future or fandom? I don't know!) and create an interest check. In the interest check you can tell the whole world about your RP and what you want to do with it. If you get enough people to say Aye! then you create your RP.


If you have any questions, issues, or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with either the moderators of your forum (the genre), the Super moderators, or even the admin staff. You can do that here: Site Questions & Information


If you have any questions you need to address to me, please tag me in your comments as I don't always get to every single response in every welcome thread and I end up missing a lot of questions. You can do that by using the @ before my handle.


Again, welcome to RPN and happy RPing.

Haha hello Kres!

Hi! I'm new here also. So far I've found it very helpful to read the threads where people are searching for partners or plots, so I know who else here has similar RP styles and tastes! I decided to post my own thread, so other people can see what I like to RP as well. ^^

even if its always accepting, its isnt exactly ok to barge in on a roleplay that others have formed for a long time. so i feel awkward doing so.

You're not exactly 'barging in'. You are simply just entering the roleplay; there's nothing more to it than that. If someone has a problem with you joining in then they should just talk to the creator of the thread or talk to you, and then you try and sort something out. Besides, there shouldn't be a valid reason for them to not want you in if it's an 'always accepting' roleplay. If there's something you've done previously or something you do that makes them uncomfortable when you enter then fair enough.


You can just ask in the OOC chat for advice on how to jump in if you're not sure what to do.

alright, thanks. normally i just post a thread and wait for people to join, but no one does, so im lest awkward again. xD at this point im almost tempted to just stay to talk to people on chat forms, not roleplay, but i'll try.

No problem. I felt awkward at first but it's worth joining in on some of the roleplays. ( )
