Forums » Introductions » Heyo all!

Uhhh sooooo hi! Just call me Fruit (or Loop or 999 or whatever... I don't know how these things work...)! This isn't my first time on an RP forum, but I think this might be the first one I work up the nerve to actively participate on (mostly because it's so diverse).
I'm kinda new to online RPing, but I'm optimistic!

So yeah... uh... *cough* hiiiiiii...

Hi Fruit, welcome to RPR!

I hope you have a great time here ^^ Do you have any questions?

Thank you!
I guess this might be a question with a kind of obvious answer (but hey, I'm an introvert, have mercy on me), but I'm assuming RP is just kind of something you've got to take a deep breath and dive into. So upon finding an RP I would like to join I've just got to go for it? (Once again, probably an obvious answer, but eh.)

Believe it or not, I am an introvert as well. To answer your question, yes, you will just have to go for it. Otherwise you'll regret it later and end up not roleplaying at all. Trust me, it's a bit easier once you begin. You just have to take the initial leap before you can fly. I hope this helps ^^

Many greetings from a fellow newbie here. All I can say is have fun and I hope to rp with you in the future.

Hello, Taters! Thanks, and I hope to RP with you sometime as well!

welcome

Oh my lord, I have to thank you simply for the exquisiteness of that welcome!

When it comes to starting RPs, most people start in the Looking For RP forum to find some other players. There's also a search tool that will help you find what you're looking for within that forum - click "Find RP" in the top menu, then "join game" then scroll to the bottom to adjust your preferences for game types. If you want more info on using that search tool, here's a handy help article. Just reply and say you're interested, and if they are too, they'll give you the details about how to join.

You can also put up your own ad about what you want to RP and gather your own players, in which case you have a few choices about how to proceed once you've found a RP partner or two.

1. You can just create a RP topic on one of our 3 public RP forums: General Roleplay, Sci-Fi Roleplay and Fantasy RP. Keep in mind that because these areas are public, you'll have to make sure the RP stays in the PG-13ish range.
2. You can choose to RP via private messages, and just create a new conversation thread with all your RP partners as recipients. Since this is private, the only rules that tend to apply are not to do OOC illegal things and be nice to your RP partners OOC.
3. If you're going to have a whole lot of people in your RP, or the RP setting is going to be very strictly defined and you want to have a place to store world building information alongside it, you might consider starting your own group. This gives you access to profile building tools for the group, but also to creating your very own forums!
4. In some cases, you and your RP partner might even decide to use some other messenger or game to RP on.

By the by, you can use the "launch chat" button at the top and bottom of any forum topic, whether it's in a private group forum or our public RP forums, to turn your topic into a real time chat! There's also a link in the sidebar of private messages that will let you do the same.

Most IC topics (already started RPs) aren't considered free to just be posted into unless you've been invited, or unless they have "open" in the title, so the LFRP board is the best place to start
