I walk through the park ,cold and wary

Hi EllieMay. This is the thread for introductions.

I'm sure a staff member will pop up soon if you're looking for some help to get started roleplaying.

Still, welcome to RPR.

What Hunter said. Hello Elliemay, welcome to RPR!

Welcome to RPR! Care to tell us a little bit about yourself like what your favorite genre of RP is? Or how long you've been RPing? If you want to find some RP try hitting up the Looking for RP forum to see if anything interests you

Hi, welcome to RPR!

hiiiii welcome to RPR

Welcome to RPR.

Welcome to RPR. People here seem to be quite friendly and accomodating. I'm sure you'll find your niche!

Welcome to RPR. Have fun here and enjoy your stay!

Hey there, welcome to the site! The introduction forum is really meant for introducing yourself as a player, not (just) as a character you play.

Do you feel comfortable sharing anything else to help us get to know you? For example, things like... Do you have any pets? How long have you been RPing? Why did you decide to join the RP Repository?

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.
