Hello,

I am new to RP, as in I have never done it before. I am looking forward to starting the many journeys in the future but at the same time am quite nervous. It would be great to make some new friends both IC and OOC.

I am more in to medieval fantasy role-playing with magic. I also prefer to use non cannon characters and places as I tend to prefer to make the characters fit how I feel they would.

I am not sure what to say, umm... if someone would show me the ropes to RPing, I would be so ever grateful.

Hi there and welcome to RPR 😊

Hello and welcome to RPR

Thank you very much guys, I look forward to being here.

Hi, and welcome to RPR! I'm new to this site, though I had done a couple RPs before I joined. If you need help, everyone here is so helpful! Of course you can ask me, but like I said, I'm new to this site as well so I might not be able to answer all your questions.

You should check out the help section and go to "Getting Started". There's some great links there that can help you get started RPing.

Hello and welcome to RPR!

Welcome to the forum. I'm new myself and loving this place already. I am sure you will find some great people to help get you into the RPs here.

Hey Hey, welcome to RPR. I'd be willing to help you out with learning the ropes if you'd like.

Hey there and welcome to RPR! We all welcome you and hope you have a spectacular time here on the friendliest roleplay site on the internet!

Hi! Welcome to rpr! If your looking to make some friends and rp I suggest joining a group! There are numerous ones all over the site!

Hi! Glad you've joined us.

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 just in case you run into questions, there's a few ways to get help. You can always try typing your question into the search box, or you can check the help section. If that fails, the community here is very friendly. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions!

Welcome to RPR! I hope you are enjoying the site so far and making loads of new friends!

So far I have made one friend... I think?

As has been previously stated, this is a wonderful community set in the direction of having fun and honing your skills in the world of RP. Just about anyone would be willing to help if you have any problems or something of the sort. I hope you have a wonderful experience, and make many new friends to help you on your way.

Hi there, and welcome to RP Repository! I can assure you that you will have a great time here! Thanks for joining us!
