Hullo. It's a pleasure to be here. I hope to have fun and make friends. Generic, I know, but it's the truth. I'm not sure what kinds of RPs to expect so I'm just going to say I am up for most anything. Let's see, next thing is pets? I have two fish, Greg and Bill, and two chickens, Dromys and Dreg. I liked English and Biology in school as well as college. I am currently unemployed and looking for a new job. Last job owner was..... human is too good of a word and I haven't a suitable insult for her ilk. I don't really have any hopes or dreams. I like sleeping and dreaming is in and of itself pretty nice. Other than that, not much. Hmm, questions... I'm curious of how to format the RPs and again what kind of RPs can be expected. But I'll figure out eventually. It's very nice to meet you all.

Welcome to the site! If you want to rp with me, send me a pm. Nice profile pic btw.

Hello, welcome to RPR!

Hello and welcome!

Hi
Welcome

Welcome welcome Draconis! Sorry to hear about your previous boss, that sucks. Thankfully RPR is pretty freaking awesome with a great userbase so you'll have a good time with us!

Do you keep Dromys and Dreg for their eggs? Or do you just really like chickens? I'm intrigued!

Great question!

When it comes to styles and systems, I can't give you a single "this is how it is here!" answer.

Our goal is to provide the general tools so that people can do any kind of RP that they want. I think that's part of what sets us apart from most other RP sites, which are often built to work with a specific system (ex. D&D 3.5) or style (ex. paragraph freeform) or even setting (ex. Harry Potterverse).

We have the flexibility for much more than one type of RP, which is awesome, but also makes it a little harder for us to tell you exactly what will be expected from you in every RP that you join here! But most people will happily tell you their expectations or what they'll need from you if you express an interest in knowing more about a potential RP.

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.

Welcome to RPR. I'm Asroc. I RP many and mostly Canons, but I am friendly to OC RPers and will RP with them. I do mainly AU RPs as them. Enjoy your time here.

Welcome to RPR! I hope you're finding some awesome RPs here that suit your style!

Hi, welcome to RPR! Glad to have you

Eyy, welcome to RPR.
