Welcome to the site, Brickie! We have a primer on roleplay that you can read at your leisure, but you're also welcome to dive in and look around for a roleplay! If you mention you're new to roleplaying, you'll probably find people who want to help you get started, too. :)

Please let us know if we can help you out around the site!

This is the right place. Hello and welcome to RPRepository. The best roleplaying website ever. You'll find plenty of freinds and roleplayers here.
Hi, Brickie! o/

I love the name, it's so fun to say!

Welcome to RPR, enjoy your stay! :D
Welcome! To learn more about RP you have come to the right place :) I'd suggest talking to people in OOC (out of character) forums if you want to know anything specific, and don't be afraid to ask questions of your fellow RPers!
Welcome to RPR! :)

I wish you the best of luck on getting started on roleplay here and I hope you enjoy your stay!
Hi hi, welcome to RPR! Don't be intimidated to approach people or ask any questions that you have. There are lots of very helpful people on this site. :)
Welcome to the site!
Hi!! Welcome to RPR! I would offer some tips but anything of value I had has already been mentioned //wheeze
I hope you have fun here!!
Hi there Brickie, welcome to RPR! As can see, the community is fun, friendly, welcoming and helpful! If you haven't yet, we recommend browsing the tutorial, it's got a ton of helpful tips and guides for all sorts of different RP-related subjects, from making characters to looking for RP partners--even experienced roleplayers may find things they hadn't thought of, I know I sure did. :) And if you're still not sure about something on the site after checking out the tutorial, feel free to ask questions of the mods and anyone else who offers to help.

If you're hankering for some specific kind of RP, we have an awesome Find RP tool that has a bunch of neat filters and stuff you can use to look for particulars. If you just wanna browse, you can go straight to the Looking For RP forum and see if anything there catches your eye, or even post ideas of your own! :)

Or if you just wanna chat for a bit as you decide what kind of characters you want to make, we have a place for Smalltalk too!

And above all...hope you have fun and stick around a while to make a bunch of RP friends! These people being friendly sure helped me decide to stay, too, when I was new!



And above all, I reiterate, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them of anyone who offers to help (for clarification, yes that includes me, I do not mind helping), either by PM, or here if asking in public doesn't bother you. ^_^

Hi! So glad to have you with us on the site. :D

When getting started with RP, I really recommend this primer on basic RP concepts as a starting place. Even if you have some RP experience, it can be a nice way to see what the general norm is here.

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.

If you end up joining someone else's RP, they'll let you know the details about how to join in.

If you're starting up your own RP, 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.

This is a pretty big site with a lot of features and areas, so if you have a question, there's a few ways to get help. Firstly, sometimes just typing a question into the search box will get you the info you need, or you can look at the categories in the help section. If you can't find it there, we pride ourselves on having a warm and welcoming community. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions!
Welcome to RPR!
