Hey everyone!

[Eery]

What's up, my name is Eery. I am new to roleplaying but I think I could do a pretty good job. I just need either a partner or a group willing to put up with me to learn the ropes. I'm just not sure on how to get started. My interests include video game, anime, fantasy, and modern settings. I absolutely love Danganronpa, Angel Beats, Log Horizon, Star Wars, Attack on Titan, and Persona 4.

Hey! I am also new to the site but I do have previous RP experience. It isn't hard to pick up on once you get started and a lot of how it goes is usually dependent on who created the RP thread. It helps to check out posts that have already been started to get an idea of what things are like and what most people expect

Welcome to RPN! There's plenty of people here who will help. I'd recommend heading to the Interest Checks.

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.

That was what I was looking for haha. Would you recommend me browsing for a partner or making a thread for myself?

If you're just starting out I would recommend you join an RP first.


Though you could try and find a partner for a one on one so you could kinda learn the ropes.


But one on one's are way more lax than group RP's.


Groups are an entirely different monster.


Though if you're more into the whole trial by fire schtick you could always post an interest check and see who bites.


Just read the rules on that type of stuff beforehand.

Spoon is right. Group RPs can get complicated and hard to follow if you are still learning. Personally I would start with a one on one and gradually build up as you get comfortable. But if you feel like you are ready to just jump in and give it a shot with a group then go ahead. Again I would also recommend reading some of the already posted RP threads to get a better idea of how things work if the guides don't give you a good enough idea

Got it. Thanks for all your advice.
