Forums » Introductions » Hello!

Okay, so hey! I'm River. I'm new the the site, and joined though a mutual friend. I haven't roleplayed before yet, but I really like sci-fi themes and the such. I hope to make some friends and maybe join some roleplays, since that's generally what the site's for, and all. I'm a freshman in high school, and boy is that place easy to get lost in. Though, I am part of the journalist and debate club, so that somewhat helps with my literate skills. I love love the Harry Potter series (I'm a Gryffindor!), and have read all the books at least three times. If you start talking about it with me, I swear I won't ever stop. Also, my username, Araxie, means "a river which flows through Armenia said to inspire poetic expression," which I enjoy a lot.
Anyways, that's me! Glad to meet you all!

Hi! Glad to meet you. :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.

I'm sure you're finding your way around okay so far, but just in case, if you need help, there's a couple things you can try. Firstly, sometimes just typing a question into the search box will get you the info you need, or you can go to the Help section to see a list of popular articles. If you can't find it there, everyone here is awesome and friendly. Please don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it!
HOWDY RIVER!!!
