It all started with learning about DnD.

[withoutaname]

Hello, new here. As the title implies, I'm interested in DnD despite never having played before. I used to listen to podcasts of DnD games, and I just found it so fascinating how people created their characters and stuck to them (like, if your character has low intelligence, he might eat that mushroom even though it's green and glowing). I'm currently living in a place where DnD, board game/comic stores are non-existent, so I want to try out roleplaying here. The dynamic of sitting in a room with the people you're roleplaying with is MUCH different than through a computer/forums, but I've got an itch and it needs to be scratched.


Nice to meet you all! (Also Visual Novels are an interest in mine and shout out to any Amnesia fans~)

Hello! Welcome to RPN! Forum roleplays are way different from table-top ones, but I hope you enjoy it. Xylin is our official welcoming committee, and she will come by to deliver a super post full of helpful links, tips, info and stuff.

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


Now, though I don't always give a personal response to what you've said, please believe me when I say that I've read your intro. And because I've read so many intros I've come to the realization that our users have come from a wide, assorted background when it comes to RPing. For many new users a forum based RP is a new thing and it can be a bit unsettling for those who aren't sure of what to do. Some of you are a bit unsure and shy about hopping into an RP. Sometimes we need a little something to dip our toes in. For that purpose I would like to introduce you to Kaedros The Undying. This is an RP hosted by Captain Hesperus and myself. Take a peek at the interest check and see if you would like to join. It is an RP that will always be open to young, old, new, and old users alike.


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.

Thanks! Yeah, I meant I want to try out the roleplaying aspect of DnD here, practice for the day when I can actually play my first game!
