So hi, I am new to this kind of forum. I have done some Role Plays but nothing like this. Would there be a tutorial that would save my poor self from being completely confused.

Anyway, I have just registered so I'm here to say my hellos.

Hello!

Howdy, maybe try again posting here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=117748).

When you say nothing like this, what do you mean? PbP (playing online), rpgs in general etc?

I felt like making a similar thread, but it'd be rather redundant with someone asking the same question. I'm new to this too. I've played some roleplaying games, but it was mostly casual. This is something new to me entirely. Anyone got a small-ish list/tutorial or something? Or some veteran willing to share his wisdom?
The dude who refered me said that a friend of his named Rettu was experienced. Forget who though. Horrible with names.

Basically, just read the forum rules (and don't break them), don't post two posts in a row (just edit the first one instead), be nice and civil, and have fun. :smallbiggrin:
Just start talking to people, find conversations that excite you. Enjoy yourself. :smallsmile:
There's not really a strict format or anything. If you're sensible, you should be fine.

Read the rules already. Not much variation across boards to begin with for the most part, anyways. So no issues there

Welcome to the playground! If you're wondering about how to play RPGs, then I suggest you try in the Roleplaying Games section.

If your wondering about Play By Post games (which I expect is whats up, cause the forum rules are all over the place and easy to find), just check out the finding players thread. Every so often a game for new players will pop up, and if it doesn't, you could start one yourself. I'm sure one of our veteran DMs, and probably a few veteran players, would be more than happy to help you with anything you need, from making characters, to how to RP, to learning the rules

I already had an epic idea. Pyro mage. With an addiction to potions. Madness ensues for epic lulz.

Then get ye to the Finding Players Subforum and maketh this pyromaniac potion addict.
