Hey I'm pretty new to this sort of stuff, I've enjoyed some Role play and fantasy aspects in the past, Lately I've been looking into advancing that with interacting with others in worlds and the such.

I don't know where to really start is the issue it seems a bit overwhelming right now, what would really be the best? Any Advice would be nice x3.

well? Your on the Best site  to  be. Either a rookie  or a harden vet. This  site has everything you need, without  crawling through  stuff to get there.

As a Player, Look at the  'players  Wanted thread" It will help you  find games   that may interest you.

2nd... you can use the customizable   search  engine , at the lower pat of the  Main page, and narrow the  focus for  Gener  and such.

 you get confused? or need  help , ask a question in the forums, If the Mods   do get to it first, a Player certainly will.

 have  fun, test out the tools... everything is always on the page you are usings..CS, PMS, dice roller ecte ct

Lulu, I'm sure there are other ways to go about it, but here's what I did.

First, I found a game that was looking for a player to adopt an existing character. Before joining the campaign, I asked the GM for permission to "lurk," which allowed me to take my time reading thru threads and following live game play before deciding whether to join. After a while, I then took the plunge and joined in. After that I did my best to be a "good citizen," learning the rules (written and unwritten) of RPoL, and trying to do things the right way, both in my dealings with the GM and with the other players. (FTR, this was very much a trial and error process, and I made lots of mistakes.)

I repeated this process with a couple of other campaigns, so I got a feel for playing on RPoL and for different GM styles. After a while, more gaming opportunities started to present themselves due to the relationships I formed. Which allowed me to get in on the ground floor of some new campaigns, creating my own characters and participating in the OOC "get to know one another" stage with other players.

My four pieces of general advice would be: (1) be patient with GM's - they are human, so their personalities vary widely, and none are perfect - it takes time to discover one's strengths and weaknesses; (2) if you find yourself in a game you don't enjoy, or if your life circumstances cause you to need to drop out of a game, THAT'S PERFECTLY OK, as long as you do it the right way (i.e., don't just "ghost" the game); (3) learn to use the "preview" button to carefully review your posts before publishing; for a lot of reasons, it's far better to get it right the first time than to edit after the fact; and (4) in your campaigns, READ everyone else's posts since your last visit to the site (not just in the game thread but in the OOC discussion and elsewhere), before making a new post of your own; that seems like an obvious thing but it amazes me how many people fail to do so.

Hope some of that helps. Good luck, and happy gaming!

Hello and welcome to the site! Everyone here is super friendly and I'm sure you'll soon find a game you enjoy.
