Arielle Introduction

Hi, I'm new to all is, but I've long since wondered about RPG, to me it seemed as if it were a living book. I love to be surprised by what someone is thinking or feeling, and yet with the written word it all comes alive as it comes together. Or at least that's how I see it, and I'm hoping I'm not wrong.

I love to reading and movies, and I have a over active imagination. That's a plus I think. So, I'm hoping not only to be able to enjoy RPG, but that I'll also be able to add to the game to make it more interesting to others.

Sincerely,
Arrielle

Introduction Arielle

Welcome!

That's a nice little description, about RPG's being like a living book, and I think for me that means it's like if you're reading a fantasy/sci-fi novel and following the lives and experienced of the heroes, but instead you're the one controlling them and what happens and how they act and what they do, so I definitely agree.

Another popular way that a lot of people, also myself, look at tabletop role-playing games is like a movie - in most cases like an action movie - the players are the actors, playing roles, proper characters, and the Game Master is like the writer/director, who has the outline of the script and knows in general how he wants things to proceed, and what he wants to focus on and become important, and also makes sure to give the characters their screen time and obstacles to overcome, which makes them even more impressive.

Have you played many tabletop RPGs? And if so, what ones, what kind do you like?

Greetings RPGer

We have FOUR types of RPGs here, which one are you interested in:

1. Start Now Type: For those who want to start immediately in a TURN based environment (like MMORPG) then you need to go to: Ruler of Kings or Emperor of Asia or Future Terra or Jerusalem Conquest or Lazarus or Germany 1939 and register on those. The Boards that handle Discussion for these games is located within this Community. Use the Site Map if you are unsure how to find them.

2. Integrated RPGs: This is where the Play by Post and custom script RPGs are part of the Community. Games like Matrix: Plugged, Cozyville, Be A Super Hero RPG and others considers what you do in the Community and thus it affects game play. To see a list of these check the RPG Listing page.

3. Writer's Paradise: For for those who prefer well thought out storylines via Play by Post where the players are more mature then keep reading below:
You need to make 30 Constructive Posts and a 75% activity level as a test to see how well you can participate in our Text Based Games, so get started now by selecting a Board and giving your input.

4. Share Book RPG: This is the EASIEST type of text RPG to get involved in because it only takes you joining in a Thread with a current Book Scenario and giving your vote in which direction a character should move. To see current games go to the Member Wars Board. In the Member Wars section you will also find Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Play by Post where you can create a character and start right away..
