Forums » Introductions » Hey it's a person!

I'm terrible with introductions and first impressions. I'm brand new to the site and have the beginnings of a character worked out. I've been RPing for going on 17 years, in a wide variety of different worlds and styles. In games, through chat rooms and forums, and pen and paper. Yeah that's right.. I'm old.

I love to write, and read. So RP is clearly something I enjoy quite a bit. I almost always favor a fantasy world, and I like characters with unique abilities. That could be from an upbringing of comics and super heroes, or just a general belief in magic.

Either way... That's me.
Welcome to the site! If you want to rp with me, send me a pm!

Welcome to the site! Do you have any questions so far?

I love me some pen and paper RP... was it through formal systems like D&D, or just more freeform writing in notebooks passed back and forth? :)

A little of both.

I've worked with a lot of different systems. I found that free form, similar to what you were talking about with a journal or the like, passing back and forth, has more room for detail and better over all story. But the systems in something like D&D are almost necessary to avoid simple conflicts about what one character can or cannot do to another. Quantified variables help, but they also feel a little to restricting in some cases.
Hey there! I'm pretty new here but I've only had positive experiences, and I'm not even super experienced in roleplay. These people are pretty cool.

Makes total sense to me! :)
Welcome, from Arcol and my characters. (Even you, Netharan.)

Anyway, welcome to RPRepository. Just let me know if you have any questions, or want to do a roleplay. I enjoy fantasy, Destiny, Elder Scrolls, or Fallout. If any of these sound good, just let me know if you're a fan of those franchises.
Welcome to RPR! Hope you're having lots of fun and making loads of new friends! :)

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes!

It's been quite a while since I did any forum based... Anything really. My life has always had a way of getting to complicated and not allowing for some of the extra things I enjoy.
