Hello, I'm very new here. I was invited by a current member.
I'm an illustrator, writer, and avid tabletop gamer. I have a handful of ocs, and I enjoy drawing them and others as much as I enjoy writing about them.
Other then that, I don't really know what to do...

hello friend hey everyone this my friend they are nice and cool. Actually, Lee, they run the Magic Club at school so they have that in common too I guess. so if you're talking about getting started in RP, first I'd get your characters ready, and then you can either: 1. Make your own introduction RP, or: 2. Join another preexisting RP. you can even do both if you're feeling ambitious! if you're attempting 2 I would suggest Luxury Space Ride because it's very easy for people to jump into the plot, and it's a fairly casual and low-stakes RP compared to the rest of them. Reading some of what's up on ORP first though might help you get a sense of how we do things around here. in any case we're glad to have you on board :> Tout-Perd and Beelzebibble are our two admins and they can probably offer more advice ( lee pohatu this is your cue)

How do you tag people The TVTropes page and especially the character page is a great resource for learning about the setting! Some rando is running a Flickr album too. Seconding Lugiasian's suggestion of LSR as a good entry topic. I think so? Hell, you could keep an eye on Disorientation and enter a late-arriving student in whatever the next topic is, too.

Welcome to the party.
The advice given above is all well and good, but the most important thing to remember is to delete the word 'azure' from your memory. It will save you a lot of headaches.

I'm a pretty dang casual gamer and will try about anything. I love card games, rpgs, and cooperative games the most. Magic: the Gathering, Netrunner, Forbidden Desert, and Dominion in terms of non rpgs. I've played a handful of systems in terms of tabletop rpgs, I'm a big fan of wod and pathfinder/d&d, dresden was cool the one time I tried it.

Instead of "Handful of OCs" I misread it as "Handful of Orcs" and I was like "huh, must've walked into Mordor." I'm Lee, the guy who nominally leads things around here. If you have a certain flavor of plot you like (Mystery, Suspense, Slice of Life, Action, so forth) let us know, and I'll gladly point you to the best topic for you, or maybe even whip one up as I do on occasion. My specialty is helping everybody find their niche, and helping show off every character to the fullest. I look forwards to writing/gaming with you. (As for forum games, we regularly run Mafia, Post Race (kinda "First post!" turned into a competition) and Dog Race (a betting game).

I'll even draw whatever character you debut first, to put in the album. And then if you draw anything I'll add them to the album too (o:

If you're interested in a more fantasy and magic style world rather than the modern age of superpowers and technology that is ORP, let me know.

Thank you shadowmaster (loving the profile pic). I may very well take you up on that in the future. I love class fantasy. For the time being, Loogs has 'shangaied' me into their very casual rp to get me started and used to the site. I'm looking forward to it!
